What Is ion60?

Fitness is made up of 10 components – Stamina, Cardiovascular Endurance, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Agility, Balance and Accuracy. Improving in all aspects of fitness is the way you will optimise performance, either in day to day life or in sports performance.

At ION, our well balanced Strength and Conditioning programme, focused on General Physical Preparedness (GPP) for the general population. We use short, long, high intensity, low intensity, weightlifting, bodyweight exercises and other modes of activity to achieve well rounded general fitness. Our ION60 programme varies from other fitness programme and classes is its diversity and ability to improve all areas of fitness and not just one or two as majority of other programs will provide.

Our ION60 classes delivers a programme that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive and most of all FUN. Our ION60 programme is designed to be scalable to the individual making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience or age. We scale load and intensity; we don’t change programmes. In other words, we adjust the stress on the body to accommodate the individual.
