Cost Guide To 6 Online Strength Exercise Classes

Based on the recent adjustments to safe management measures, all gyms and fitness studios are required to close from 8 May to 13 June 2021. Currently, only low-intensity training is allowed, with a mask on at all times. Any other form of resistance or strength training is not permitted indoors. This includes one-to-one personal training, except in an outdoor setting. Read more on the tightened safe management measures in our article – Back To Phase 2 From 8 May 2021 To 13 June 2021: 9 Things Businesses Are Allowed (And Aren’t Allowed) To Do.

Popular strength exercise classes would be disrupted with these new measures in place. This includes classes such as BODYPUMP™ and weighted aerobics. Regardless, the cessation of strength training does not mean that we can’t continue our strength exercises at home.

Before Joining Online Strength Exercise Classes

For an equipment-based strength exercise class, we would need weights that we can use at home. For beginners, it is important to make sure we don’t use the heaviest weight for our first class to avoid injury. A rough gauge on the weights we should be using is that it should be about 40% to 70% of the maximum weight we can carry. We can check with the instructors before the class on the recommended weights. The intensity of the class can also be adjusted by picking up heavier weights or switching between light and heavyweights, depending on the instructor style.

If we have not already gotten our weights during last year’s circuit breaker, we can always order them online from Decathlon or Shopee.

Here are some basic equipment’s we would use during weighted fitness classes:

Dumbbells: Fitness 3 Kg Dumbbells Twin-Pack – $18

Kettle bell: Kettlebell 4 Kg – $16

Barbells: Rubberised Barbell Set – $109 to $325
