Group Classes
Origin Of Energy Group Classes allow individuals to get the benefits of the method of movement training we offer to clients 1 on 1 in a group setting. Groups are capped to 18 people per class. This ensures each individual receives the coach’s attention for form and each person has access to adequate equipment and space. Our programming follows the seasons with a complete 13 week cycle 4 x per yr for summer, autumn, winter & spring. Each season has a 11 week progression to comp day then a 2 week cleansing period at the end of each season where training is reduced ( 10-20% reduction) in intensity for a 2 week period before beginning the next season.
Training is from Monday – Saturday, sessions run for 1 hr. We encourage members to get into training as soon as possible so anyone can start anytime in the season or even attend casually if thats all time permits.
For optimal results we recommend individuals get an assessment & program (120mins) prior to commencing group training sessions click here for more info. This will give you an individualised stretching, movement & lifestyle program to compliment the group training. When this is not practical the exercises in the group sessions can be adapted for every level & we encourage every beginner to our sessions to start out slow & gradually build technique & strength to ensure long term results.
Whole Body Workouts
Origin Of Energy utilises whole body workouts that have a combination of 2-4 movement patterns to integrate squatting, lunging, bending, stepping, pushing, pulling, twisting & running. This provides an overall whole body response.
We complete 3 x Interval Strength (muscle & metabolism development) monday wednesday & friday). Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday we rotate 1x endurance, 1x max & 1x Speed & Power workout. This allows for optimal development in all areas and avoids unnecessary stress on the body. We use a combination of Barbell, Kettlebell, Clubbell, Ring, Body Weight, Medicine Ball, Cyclone Ball, Swissball, Ring, Rope & Pull Up Bar Training. These sessions provide improvements in athletic performance & overall health. Each workout starts with a light warm up 5mins then 10min skill development of the 2-4 movements. The training time is usually 20-25 mins then 5-10 mins of corrective core exercise and then 5-10mins for individual release work.
Saturday Team & Games workout
Saturdays workout rotates between Endurance, Speed & Power and Max style workouts with either a Team of Individual games style session. This is done for so all our members can have fun and challenge themselves. These sessions usually break up in to 3 types of groups:
1. competitive: loves training hard & is committed to pushing themselves as hard as they can.
2. easy going: Enjoys training but does not enjoy competing or keeping scores. Just want to have a bit of fun and get a good workout.
3. mixed/ adaptive: Is willing to push themselves hard or could just take it easy depends on the day.
Out of our desire to help everyone we dont put 1 & 3 together. We love it when people come to train and do their best for the day. Some days you might feel like a 1 so go for it other days you may feel like a 3 so no stress we have something for everyone.
The reason for this piece of info is that we want all our members to enjoy Saturday training and not feel any pressure to compete or if you do want to compete know that we will not put you in a team with someone who does not feel like going hard on the day.
Training Recommendations
We recommend 2-6 whole body sessions per week. At first it is best to do 1 day on 1-2 days off then build up to 1 day on 1 day off then 2-3 on 1 day off. Once people have built a solid base of health & fitness and follow the 21 key lifestyle steps it is possible to train monday- saturday with Sunday rest day. The program design and rotation of movements allows for active recovery although if you are sore it is best to rest then come back and train the next day when you have fully recovered.
Posted Workouts
Workouts are posted on the homepage of www.originofenergy.com on the Sunday prior to the training week. This way you can pick and choose your workouts & also choose which workouts you will increase the intensity in. When Training more than 2 days in row it is best to go lighter in the Interval days so you can save greater intensities for Max, Endurance and Speed & Power
