THE GRID & VIRGIN ACTIVE BEACON BAY - SOMETHING DIFFERENT & TOTALLY COOL (Beacon Bay, Eastern Cape)

We found SOMETHING DIFFERENT & TOTALLY COOL, and its an insane workout, but doable, fun and really good for all aspects of training...WE-LOVE-IT!!!

Please meet.....

Virgin Active has come up with a real cracker of a workout here, IT-IS-INCREDIBLE!!!.

Basically you take one Fitness Instructor, add six core movements and weights, mix them together with loud music, multiply it together with some high intensity....and you have THE GRID.

This is an exclusive class to Virgin Active International, and comes with an option of 6 CORE (BASE) MOVEMENTS, namely, BEND, LUNGE, PUSH, PULL, TWIST & SQUAT, and each governs daily groups of movements that we need functional training for, allowing us to better cope with both Natural Stresses and Strains of Daily Life, as well as Unnatural Stresses & Strains, these self imposed advanced movements that are required by whatever our preferred form of extra activities or sports are. Say for example you were entering a Warrior Race, this would be a GO-TO form of training, but sometimes we just need a little extra oomph to get off a bus whilst jumping over a puddle of water, and quickly, without injury....this is also your GO-TO!

How each Core Movement helps, is like this, THE BEND will help with putting things down, or picking things up, or dead lifts, if that's your thing. THE LUNGE will help you hop on a bus and chase a toddler quicker, those little suckers can get away fast these days, and you have to bend done to catch them. With THE PUSH, every door opens better, every boot shuts better, and every table is shoved better, hell you can shove two at once with this training. THE PULL will help you pick things up, climb things, and pull your car to work when you don't feel like driving and the idea of a stroll feels more up your alley. THE TWIST improves your dance skills after too many, BUT it also helps you complete random turns without straining your back or ankles. Its these buggers that get you when you least expect it. And THE SQUAT helps hen you need to get up quickly from a seated position, like when you need to chase to the phone because Harry from One Direction is calling, it also helps when you are digging in the bottom of the freezer for that last bit of ice-cream that you hid so well.

THE GRID will push you, it will pull you, squat you, lunge, bend and twist you into a new and seriously awesome new version of you. You only better, but moving the way you were designed to move.
Its Function Fitness at its finest, as each move involves your entire body, no isolation of any particular muscles, which means more calories burnt, and you get more out your workout and time, but in less time, as each session is only 30min long.

GRID helps with plateaued muscles of training, as its constantly being switched for you, you never really know what to expect, and this form of training benefits you in placing overall strain on your body, not just on one area....as this is often what causes injuries. Coordination, Balance & Stability are definite improved benefits. There are also so many different equipment options, ones you more than likely have never used before, at least not in a group format, so you will never get bored, but lets face it, you wont have time....

This is the GRID 
THE GRID also comes with three formats, or desired levels, each specific to a need, not necessarily a fitness level, these are:

GRID ACTIVE (See Video)
GRID STRONG (See Video)
GRID LEAN (See Video)
GRID FIT (See Video)

You have try this for yourself, we tried it at BEACON BAY VIRGIN ACTIVE, EAST LONDON, EASTERN CAPE, but you can pretty much find THE GRID at any VIRGIN ACTIVE.
