Gymnastics is an integral part of what we do at Sleven. Classes have two coaches on the floor, teaching all levels of athletes: pull-ups, toes-to-bar, muscle-ups (both bar & ring) and handstands & handstand push-ups.
The secret to improving your gymnastics is to build strength and practice. Sleven is unique in doing a monthly focus on each movement, allowing athletes to build strength progressively and practice the skills required with expert coaches on hand.
The Sleven X workouts often include the movements in our Gymnastics classes giving athletes a chance to develop the necessary skills to express their fitness.
We'll teach you the basics of kipping and if you've got that nailed down, how to butterfly pull-up! We'll build your strength & skill throughout the month in both pull-ups and toes-to-bar.
MUSCLE-UPS
We teach both the ring and bar variations of muscle-ups and this month is suitable for all levels, even if you are still looking to get your first pull-up! We develop pulling, pushing and proximal strength and teach you the skill required to get you over those rings/bar.
HANDSTANDS
Get upside down in handstand month! We teach handstands, handstand walking and handstand push-ups. We have two coaches on the floor and tons of drills so if you've never been upside down, we'll get you there!
PROGRAMMING
Gymnastics is heavily focused on developing strength & skills. This means there is a high degree of coaching and individualised attention.
There are two coaches on the floor taking athletes through a skill piece to practice, learn and refine newfound abilities.
The second half of Gymnastics is focused on developing pushing, pulling and core strength. We do this through strict strength work and lots of Successories™.
Gymnastics runs on Monday, Wednesdays and Sundays.
Squats, deadlifts, presses, rows and more. Expect to progress these in scientifically proven ways like tempo, weight, reps, supersets and much more.
2. SUCCESSORIES™
Iron out imbalances, improve mobility and build a rock hard core.
3. WORKOUT
Get your heart rate up with a simple yet effective cardio workout that usually lasts 8-15 minutes.
PROGRAMMING
24Sleven is programmed in-house, by our head coach in four-week cycles of progressive overload.The magic happens Monday-Thursday. Movements shift one day along each week so that you're not always squatting on Monday for example. Weekends are heavily programmed with Successories™ as a way to tune up or if you missed a day during the week as a way to make up.For those keen to follow the programme to the T, we have Open Gym available every day and extended Open Gym on Fridays.

This is an upper body focused Successories™ session. Weekends are not programmed with progressive overload, just movement patterns. They can be used as a way to get some extra training, a one-off or as a catch-up if you missed a movement during the week.
