Drop and Give Me 20 Minutes: 20 minute workouts in the park

NEW! Saturday Shake Up. Starting at regular intervals during the year.
Contact us for details of the next block of 4-6 40 minute sessions - or check on Facebook for updates.

A great way to fit exercise into your work day - join us at South Hagley for 20 minute sessions covering strength, cardio, circuit and Tabata training styles. This is a unique format that sees you well and truely worked out in your lunch break - but still back in the office in time to eat some lunch.

The sessions cater for ALL fitness levels - if you're a beginner you'll work hard but at your own level...and if you're really fit we have extra tricks up our sleeves to make sure you get a challenging workout too.

Session details:

Mon, Wed and Fri lunchtimes (12.40pm start)

First session free, then your choice of:

• $10 a session (casual - pay on the day)
• $50 for a 10 visit concession card (quake special - normally $75)

To book your FREE trail click here.

Format:

Walk or jog from your office, or park your car over at the Horticultural Hall and jog or walk briskly to the meeting point - this is your warm up.

At 12.40 we start the clock, and for the next 20 minutes we'll challenge your body and get you stronger and fitter.

At 1pm we stop for a stretch, then you cool down by jogging or walking back to work or your car. If you're within 10 mins of the netball courts at South Hagley you should be back at work in 45 mins - leaving 15 mins for a shower and some food!

Places are limited, so do let me know you're going to join us (aim to arrive 5-10 minutes early for your first session) - and it means I can keep an eye out for you too.

What other participants have said:

"20 mins means stuff is short and sharp (as I get bored doing the same thing for too long and lose motivation)" - Angie (7months pregnant)

"I enjoyed all of it. It was hard, and I moaned and groaned about it, but that’s only because I’m not as fit as I should be. I’m thinking that the more I do it, the better I will cope with when the session is over." - Len

"I found I was working at an average of 8-9 for a majority of it, bordering on 10 sometimes... but the sessions can be as hard or easy as you like, so should suit anybody" - Chris

"Really had a lot of fun." - Jac

I'm 45 and was very very unfit :)
Tracey started working with me in October 2009, and in a very short 10 weeks she turned me into a much healthier version of myself. I lost 20cm all over and almost 5kg.
But the biggest change is I have now joined a gym and am signed up for the 20 Week Body & Lifestyle Competition with Tracey.

Hippo to Hornbag: See yourself morph from mud wallowing African river dweller into the kind of women that grown men would cut off their wobbly parts for. Get your flabby fetlocks along to dropandgiveme20 for the physical makeover that will turn you from Big Mac into a deliciously toothsome piece of ambrosia.
