Club Kensington

I tried Hour Of Power for the first time around 18 months ago. I was already doing Bodypump which was the class that started straight after the Hour Of Power. What intrigued me about it was the amount of people I would see packed into the class each week as I was waiting around for it to finish. I decided to see for myself why it was so popular and gave it a try. Ever since then I haven’t looked back. I’ve integrated it into my weekly routine and I can honestly say I’ve never felt so fit, both in…

Hour of power is quite simply an amazing working. It’s a full body workout and makes you leave the gym feeling shattered but like you’ve done an amazing workout. It’s not the easiest class by far. I’ve been doing the class on and off for about 2 and 1/2 years but quite recently have been hitting it hard twice a week. I will never forget the first time I ever tried the class, and did the typical manly thing and went for some heavy weights to try and impress or look the part……BIG MISTAKE, as i found out to my…

I went to my first Hour of Power class at Club Kensington six months ago. Having worked out at and been an avid aerobics fitness fan for a number of years, I had been looking for that class that fed my impatient appetite for diversity. Repetition and the ‘same old’ bored me. I remember walking out of my first class feeling elated on an emotional as well as physical level. In the first instance, the trainers, Angelika, Jordana and Vince, immediately made me feel welcome, focusing on my every move as a newcomer. The workout itself made me come away…

This amazing workout means the world to me – the second the music starts it does something to me and everyone in the class. I feel relaxed, committed to the workout and find energy that I thought I didn’t have a minute earlier. I remember my first teaching experience: It wasn’t great, but that was back in June 2011. Since then, our regular participants have watched me grow as a person, leader and instructor. It is an amazing feeling to be able to share the same experience with over 20-30 people and watch them improve their technique and breathing pattern,…

I have been a participant in the Club Kensington Hour of Power Class for five years and an instructor for two. My original motivation to train as an instructor was as emergency backup for Rajko, but as time progressed, he became busy growing the class throughout the UK and I now have a regular slot. It is really interesting to see the difference in people and behaviour over my five-years. Angelika, Jordana and I now have a steady group that is averaging 25, up from around 15, but with a couple of recent classes at studio capacity of 35. Apart…
