WHAT IS 

FUNCTIONAL FITNESS?

FUNCTIONAL FITNESS IS A TYPE OF EXERCISE THAT SUPPORTS EVERYDAY LIFE.

IT INCLUDES MOVEMENT PATTERNS SUCH AS WALKING, PUSHING, PULLING, BENDING, SQUATTING, LUNGING AND CORE.

THESE EXERCISES IMPROVE FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH. FUNCTIONAL FITNESS IS SOMETHING THAT IS ROOTED IN ALL OF US.



HYBRID TRAINING

HYBRID TRAINING IS A WAY TO COMBINE VARYING ELEMENTS OF TRAINING.

WE FOCUS ON STRENGTH WORK, FUNCTIONAL FITNESS, CARDIO AND ENDURANCE ACTIVITIES.

BY SHIFTING AWAY FROM A SINGLE FOCUS WE ARE ABLE TO USE VARYING TECHNIQUES TO CREATE AN ALL ROUND ATHLETE READY FOR ANYTHING.

SMALL GROUP 

TRAINING


These groups are at the heart
of what we do.

Small groups of likeminded people wanting to have some fun, get a bit better every time and then do it again and again. 

These classes really are for everyone
 and every level, I promise. 

From first time to lifer, 
there's room for everyone.

BEACH SESSIONS

Held in our stunning fitness facility, offering fresh air, stunning views and the occasional seagull, these sessions are not only a great workout but an experience definitely worth getting sandy for.

Lift & shift

Specifically designed to target strength and power movements. 


The perfect session to build strength and give you that extra edge. 

Think strength work designed in a circuit style with a Jerk twist - who’s in?

FRIDAY NIGHTS


Friday Nights is based on the 

social enjoyment of starting the weekend.


A time based session designed to get you moving and completed in time to get back for that Friday night feeling. 

The session is designed to keep you working using carefully selected resistance and bodyweight exercises. Long summer evenings spent on the beach & our winter programmes see us getting through some fun comp style WODS - you’ll definitely leave feeling you’ve had a workout! 

The workouts are designed at varying weights & difficulty giving everyone the ability to train side by side and to their own level.

We think it's a great way to start the weekend, come along and see what you think.

"Been Jerking for about 3 months now and my only one regret is not doing it sooner! Jon, Matt and the rest of the trainers are amazing, the variety of classes means there is something for everyone and I've never felt so inspired to get out and do some decent exercise. Give it a try, you wont regret it!"

BE a jerk

FAYE

“Apart from completing Couch to 5k (once!) I have never been able to stick with a regular exercise routine until I started Jerk last Spring following a health scare. 

I can’t imagine *not* doing this now as a way of relieving stress and to up my fitness so I can keep up with my two young boys! Jon has nurtured us all as a group and has helped us individually with any worries or alterations to exercises that we need. 

So I get the benefit of 1 to 1 but also having to ‘show up’ as part of a group is a really helpful motivator for me. I have never liked gym environments (too many mirrors!) And so the view and fresh air is such a bonus as that just adds to the endorphin hit! I am always impressed by Jon’s enthusiasm and ability to get us moving and cheer us up when we turn up yawning and crumpled (whether that’s physically or mentally or both!) 

Another big part of my Jerk journey is the variety - we get to do something different every week and as someone with a major aversion to routine this is perfect for me. But we still get to repeat a session with significant time passed to see how we have progressed too. 

I can’t recommend Jerk Training enough for all that these guys offer and the camaraderie I have enjoyed with my group! Just wish I could squeeze in another weekly sesh!”

Awesome. Welcome. Don't be scared. Seriously. I know full well the hardest thing is to try something new outside of your comfort zone. 

Honestly, I promise we're a nice bunch of people who are either like you or were like you a week/month/year ago and are here to all have a good time together and help each other.

Thank you for joining us.
