What's it all about then? The ladies have taken over Diesel Gym on a Saturday afternoon, so come and sculpt your bikini 
body - sleek arms, toned legs, killer abs - in a class run by women, for women. This high-energy session uses fat-blitzing exercises from Thai boxing, a martial art that's powerful and easy to learn. At 90 minutes, this class is bigger and better than the average hour-long aerobics session - and it's a lot more fun.
What does the class involve? A top-to-toe workout: Circuits and cardio exercises for fitness; pad and bag work for muscle tone and all-over body strength, plus sit-ups and bodyweight exercises for core strength. It's a great stand-alone workout, and works well as part of a cross-training programme with other sports/activities.
Why's it so good for me? It blasts through up to 600 calories an hour, more than jogging (about 500 calories an hour) or aerobics (about 450). Combined with healthy eating it'll help get you into the shape of your life. It’ll boost your confidence, too, and leave you with an endorphin rush that’ll have you feeling good for days.
Why Diesel Gym? Because of our high standard of women-friendly tuition; our weekly class timetable is tailored for every level, from beginnner right through to fight-standard, and two of our female students are competing professionally in Thailand.
Is the class suitable for my fitness level? 
Yes. Beginners, you can look forward to unheard-of levels of cardio fitness, plus a solid grounding in body-toning Thai boxing techniques. Experienced students, you'll get a great cardio/strength workout.
Will I have to fight anyone? No. Your only competitor is yourself. We’ll encourage you to do better than your best, in a friendly, supportive environment, but you won’t be squaring up against anyone.
What should I bring with me? A T-shirt (short or long sleeve is fine), plus shorts, leggings or tracksuit bottoms that allow plenty of movement. A towel and water are recommended. Handwraps are advisable too. We carry a small stock of essential equipment at reasonable prices. Ask at the reception desk for more details.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not wear jewellery of any sort as vigorous activity can break it, plus it can cause injury to yourself and others. The gym can not be held responsible for the loss/breakage of any valuables.
Anything else? This is a drop-in class and no pre-booking is required. We start promptly so please respect your instructors and fellow students by arriving on time.
