Stage Two: Start Your Fundamental Workout Program

After your first education session, your Trainer will identify your fitness level. Whether this is your first time in a gym, you have some experience working out, or you’re a dedicated daily gym user, your Trainer will provide you an activity card under one of the following levels:

■ Beginner
■ Intermediate
■ Advanced

Our Activ8 Fundamentals program includes activity cards that cover High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), full body, lower body and upper body workouts, to ensure a comprehensive approach to your fitness.

PCYC Queensland recommends completing one workout level for four weeks, before progressing to the next level. This means if you start as a Beginner, you will eventually progress through 12 weeks of this exclusive gym program; in addition to your booked education sessions – taking approximately one month to complete an entire level of Fundamentals.
