Engine classes in Clapham Junction
Engine classes at Shapesmiths are designed to train the engine of the body: The Heart and Lungs. These are barbell-free cardiovascular conditioning workouts which use bodyweight movements and erg machines to build your work capacity and push your aerobic engine.
Why choose an Engine class?
Shapesmiths' Engine classes are built around sustained aerobic work rather than the varied strength and skill mix of a standard CrossFit class. They're the class to pick if the goal is building stamina and aerobic capacity rather than lifting heavy or practising gymnastics movements.
