All classes are structured to make the most of every minute as clients are led through a brisk sequence of exercises that combine cardio, strength training and flexibility. Motivating music accompanies the fun and ever-changing choreography to constantly challenge your body and keep you mentally engaged. Throughout the session, Physique 57 instructors move among clients providing individualized instruction for proper positioning and alignment.

Beginner: Clients are introduced to the basic movements, positions and methodology of the exercise system. We advise clients to take at least 8-10 Beginner level classes before advancing to the next level. A greater understanding of the technique allows clients to get deeper in the positions, making the workout even more effective.

Mixed: Clients are familiar with the Physique 57 technique and are given options to tailor the class to their own fitness level. All clients are welcome; however, due to the pace of the class, first time clients are strongly encouraged to start with a Beginner class.

Intermediate: Clients have a strong knowledge of the Physique 57 technique and are prepared for an intense, vigorous workout with added variations and longer sprints. We recommend that clients have taken a combined total of 8-10 Beginner and Mixed classes before joining an Intermediate class.

Advanced: Clients experience a fast-paced, cardiovascular workout with advanced variations and less recovery time between sets. We recommend that clients have taken a combined total of 20 Intermediate classes before joining an Advanced class.

Note: Due to the nature of the requirements and pace of the class, Intermediate and Advanced classes are not suitable for first time clients.
