The One Element Workouts.

45 minutes of high-intensity fitness training — outside, in nature.

OE outdoor fitness sessions are based on pre-season sports training.

They’re not only designed to deliver swift increases in your fitness and energy levels, but you’ll also meet new friends in the One Element family — we puff, push, laugh, support, and cheer one another on.

That’s what One Element is all about.‍ ‍

Yes, the training is deliberately challenging, but our trainers provide support around form and modifications, and encourage everyone to work at their own pace, within their abilities. Everyone really is welcome.

Each week we systematically rotate the HIIT or circuit training sessions that we know work — helping to ensure your fitness levels improve, you see results, and you never get bored!

ONE ELEMENT SIGNATURE OUTDOOR BOOTCAMP SESSION TYPES

Come to all three sessions each week & you’ll get a full-body training routine that covers all your fitness bases — stamina, strength, power and mobility. Or, come to select sessions.

PURE STRENGTH

These sessions are designed to build muscle through purposeful, slow and controlled reps of focused weight-training exercises using kettlebells.

Your OE trainer will provide technique enhancements so you get the most out of each exercise.

STRENGTH & CARDIO TRAINING

This sets us apart from traditional gym sessions. Not only are we training on the soft, forgiving terrain of Vellenoweth Green, opposite the beach, but our sessions also consistently mix cardio and strength. 

You can expect 15-20 reps of a particular exercise, perhaps three exercises that work a similar muscle group, then team-based speed running at about 70-80% of your sprint pace.

TEAM BASED CARDIO & BODYWEIGHT FITNESS

In this session, you’re training your cardiovascular system. Over 12 weeks, we deliver a periodised programme that organically transitions between speedwork, power, strength, and endurance, so you become the well-rounded athlete you deserve, and can enjoy a range of activities with your fit body.

The session is 45 minutes, and within this time, you’ll work through a variety of short sets that keep the training varied and collaborative. We puff and laugh the whole way!

What to expect from each session:

WARM UP

Starting off gently whilst building in intensity you’ll activate specific muscles for engagement. We do the same warm up every session, so your body knows what’s coming and your mind can relax into it!

TIP!
Listen to your body, connect your mind to your muscles. You work to your own limits!

SET 1

Spiced up versions of cardio and/or strength training to keep things varied but primarily to train your different functions of fitness, e.g. endurance, speed and power.

TIP!
Start off leaving a little left in the tank and gauge how the different sets feel, you will have plenty of opportunities to push for progression.

SET 2

Set two gives you a much-desired burn and afterglow, and pushing yourself here forms the bedrock of your fitness gains.

TIP!
The slower the better, focus on technique here and your reps will increase by themselves over the weeks.

SET 3

A mixture of isometrics through to rotational work, this set keeps your core strong and effective. Expect to love this stage as your brain starts to process what you’ve achieved, and the core and stability work serves as self-care.

COOL DOWN

You’ve made it to the end and you’ll want to thank those muscles, your willpower and your friends for helping you give back to that body of yours!
