GROUP TRAINING
SWEATSHOP’S GROUP TRAINING COMMANDS THE FIELD.
Our practical and purposeful Strength + Conditioning program is developed by the Sweatshop team to inspire consistent progression and elevated performance within our diverse community. Combined with multiple accessory classes that offer variety and a change in tempo — such as Reformer Pilates — Sweatshop allows you to perform at your best, consistently, while building a strong, fit, and cabaple physique.
You’ll meet your inner athlete here.

Breaking down the Sweatshop program + training blocks:
A standard training block with Sweatshop is twelve to fourteen weeks (depending on the block’s focus) and you can jump in anywhere along the timeline.
Within each block, YOU set the precedent for how you want to train, and the goals you want to reach.
At the end of each program we encourage you to put your progress to the ultimate test with Combine Week — Injected into standard sessions, Combine activities encourage progression, fun, community, and (optional) competition while focusing on personal success.

Attending a group session in a new space can be daunting for anyone, but we’re here to tell you there’s no need to SWEAT it — you’ll fit right in at Sweatshop. Everyone does.
To get a head start, here’s the best way to approach your first session:
• Book into your desired session via the Sweatshop app.
To book, you must be a Sweatshop member, have a valid pass/pack, or hold an active intro offer. All sessions become available to book 7 days prior to their commencement.
• Arrive 5 minutes early, especially if you have questions for our trainers before beginning.
• Our sessions run for 50 minutes including a warm-up and an introduction to the session — you’ll feel confident to get your sesh started after this.
• During a busy session you may be partnered up. This just means you’ll be sharing equipment with someone else — we recommend finding someone of a similar strength or height so your session flows, but otherwise, this is YOUR time.
FAQS
HOW DOES THE PROGRAM WORK AND WHAT CLASS SHOULD I START WITH?
Sweatshop’s group training program focuses on resistance training Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The sessions are programmed with your individual preferences in mind — giving you the ability to focus on specific goals. Our Conditioning sessions run on Tuesday and Thursday, while our weekends are a hybrid of both. Saturday we often encourage a team experience, and Sunday can be taken at your own pace — especially if you’re a little dusty from the night before.
If you’re new to training and don’t know where to start, we recommend attending a resistance session first.
I’M A BEGINNER, CAN I COMPLETE A SWEATSHOP SESSION?
You’ve got this in the bag. Sweatshop’s strength + conditioning program is built to empower everyone — whether you’re a superhuman or just human (like the rest of us). We’ve meticulously designed our program to be scalable no matter your fitness level, so if you are a beginner, you’ll be given the tools to close the gap on our advanced moves and accomplish your individual goals.
