Activation week Classes
Activation Week is your chance to experience what Strength Nation MASTERTON is all about, no membership needed!
Browse our classes below, find something that excites you, and book your spot using the link in each description. We can’t wait to meet you. Activation week classes are bookable by members too.
*Please note all standard classes during this week are bookable as normal by Strength Nation Masterton members only.
Breaking Barriers
This is not a fitness class. It is an experience designed to make you feel comfortable, safe and capable in the gym environment. Possibly for some it may be your first time in a gym environment, or the first time in a while! We will warm up together, and then we will cover 4 important movements: squat, hinge, push and pull. The quality and form of our movements matters in this class, intensity doesn’t! Looking forward to meeting you and supporting you to feel comfortable in the gym.
HYROX Beginner
HYROX Beginner is our starting point into HYROX-style training. Learn the movements, understand pacing, and build confidence. Expect simplified stations, scalable workouts, and plenty of coaching. Perfect for anyone curious about HYROX or looking to build fitness with structure, but not yet ready to play with the big kids.
MiniROX
Intro to Circuit
Intro to Circuit is a welcoming introduction to functional training. Expect simple, scalable movements using bodyweight and light equipment. Designed for beginners, those coming back after time away, those who want a slightly lower intensity workout, or anyone wanting to try Strength Nation. Move, sweat, and build fitness.
Barbell Fundamentals
Barbell Fundamentals will start you on your journey of learning the basics of barbell training in a supportive environment. Focus on technique, movement quality, and building confidence with foundational lifts. Perfect for beginners or anyone wanting to refine their skills. Start strong and build safely.
Fit for Life
Fit for Life is a very gentle, supportive class focused on strength, balance, and mobility. Designed for those with life experience on their side, or anyone wanting a lower-impact approach to fitness. Move at your own pace, increase spatial awareness, build confidence, independence, and overall wellbeing.
