ORWELL FITNESS:
Build
Upper-Body Power
THE BUILDING BLOCK OF FITNESS
Focussing on the chest, arms, shoulders and back, BUILD is a masterclass in boosting your upper body strength and delivering an explosive weight-to-strength ratio.
Designed to challenge all body types, this hands-on session includes essential bodyweight basics like pull-ups and press-ups alongside shoulder presses, bench presses and ring rows.
But, unlocking extra power is only half the story. BUILD also helps to improve your coordination, agility, stamina, balance and flexibility.
Every fitness journey needs a foundation and BUILD is it. This popular programme focuses on the basics that help you hone and harness the power of your body.
By using only bodyweight, not external loads, BUILD quickly improves your movement and general fitness, which in turn unlocks a whole new level of strength, precision and control.
Choose it as a fun, stand-alone workout or as a solid base for your long-term fitness journey.
4 REASONS WHY BUILD WORKS
It’s hard to understate the benefits of regular bodyweight exercise. From transforming your upper body strength and explosive power, to improving your coordination, control and flexibility, BUILD is a must for both ambitious beginners and committed athletes.
Upper Body conditioning is the name of the game with BUILD.
Our sessions zero in on the chest, arms, shoulders, and back to help you develop an explosive strength-to-weight ratio and ensure your major muscle groups are truly challenged – often simultaneously.
Expect plenty of basics, like pull-ups, bench presses, shoulder presses and ring rows, with plenty of high fives and fist bumps for good measure.
Like everything we do, BUILD has been designed to bring you long-term benefits. Regular body conditioning helps to support bone health and boosts your metabolism, encouraging muscle growth.
The good news is muscle mass and strength have also been linked to lower mortality rates and a longer, healthier life.
The techniques we use in each BUILD class encourage you to control and stabilise weight at the end of your range of motion.
This incrementally improves your control, balance, and body awareness – helping you stay in command, even when you are in the most challenging positions.
With repetition, correction, and the guidance of our expert trainers, many of these skills will become second-nature.
Mindless repetition can kill your motivation. BUILD brings balanced development and variety into your routine, to continually drive your performance, co-ordination and progress.
Our expert trainers design classes using a near-infinite library of exercises, so you never complete the same workout twice. And because every session feels fresh, your mind and body never stop developing.
