The BFT Story

What to Expect From A BFT Session

Body Fit Training (often abbreviated to “BFT”) is a functional strength and conditioning program that offers 13 different class types in a 50-minute format, led by multiple qualified and accredited coaches.

The weekly program at BFT offers both strength-focused sessions, as well as more cardio-heavy classes. For the cardio work, you can expect to use rowers, air bikes and Ski-Ergs, with dumbbells, slam balls and barbells some of the tools of choice for the strength.

BFT’s program is periodized over 8-10 week blocks, built to train different energy systems in each session and with a focus on developing skills and technique.

The Reception Service

Our pre-visit call to the club left us feeling excited as the staff was very bubbly, friendly and passionate when describing the club.

On arrival, there was no orientation to the club offered but the two coaches, who were checking in clients, were warm and friendly, asking us what kind of training we’d done before.

After the session, the BFT staff were comfortable taking us through our options to continue training.
