00The Bankside Health Club

A friend and I went to test out powerplate at Bankside, and firstly - it's a great venue and location. Very professional, clean, high class gym that we both loved the look and feel of. We were running late for our trial due to taking a wrong turn, but they very kindly let us do the trial anyway. The session was intense. The instructor, Jody, was really friendly and motivating and got us through the class. The exercises were quite varied but seemed to focus mainly on legs (although this was probably because we were running late so couldn't do a full work out). We felt 'the burn' almost immediately and within every movement she took us through. My favourite part of the session was undoubtedly the relaxing calf massage on the machine at the end! We both left feeling glad we showed up late as we couldn't imagine getting through the full half hour trial! Felt a little sore the next day but overall a great work out and we're going to try again!
