Revelate

Revelate is a coach-led cardio class using the row, bike and ski machines to improve fitness in a low-impact, supportive way. Every session is fully suited to your level, so you work at your own pace while being guided and encouraged throughout. Ideal for beginners, those returning to exercise, or anyone who enjoys clear structure and steady progress. Think fitness and fun!


Crossfit

CrossFit is varied, coach-led training that builds strength, fitness, skill development and confidence using functional movements like squats, pressing and hinging. Every workout is fully scalable, so beginners and experienced members train side-by-side, each working at the right level for them. Expect variety, teamwork, and a great sense of achievement.



Evolve conditioning

Evolve is a balanced mix of strength, cardio, mobility and control, designed to improve everyday fitness and movement quality. It’s lower impact, accessible, and adaptable, making it ideal if you’re returning to exercise, managing injuries, or simply want to move well and feel good. Challenging when you want it to be, supportive always.



Strong


Strong focuses on building muscle, bone strength, and resilience through structured strength training. Sessions are slower-paced, highly coached, and ideal if you want to feel stronger, supported and confident with weights. Perfect for beginners, midlife members or anyone who wants strength without the rush.



Personal training

Personal Training is fully tailored, one-to-one coaching designed around your goals, lifestyle, injuries, and experience level. You’ll get personalised programming, close guidance, and accountability to help you move better, get stronger, and feel more confident. Perfect if you want extra support, clarity or a plan built just for you.




Sports teams

Revelate helps us work with sports teams and show them how they are getting fitter. The system is able to show you the work rate of each player and allow coaches and management to better gauge their player’s physical standard.
