Maroondah Group Training Plus
Maroondah Group Training Plus, known as MGT+, is a program designed to provide a personalised approach to fitness with the added benefits of working in a small group. With 45-minute sessions, personalised attention from experienced trainers, the use of state of the art technology, progress tracking plus much more, MGT+ is designed to help you achieve real results.
How does the MGT+ program work?
The MGT+ program runs in 8-week blocks. Over the eight weeks, programs are broken into phases, where each phase has a particular goal and participants work towards a peak.
MGT+ offers three different formats of training to choose from, each targeting specific areas of fitness. Whether you want to improve your endurance with FITTER, increase your cardio with FASTER, or build your strength with STRONGER, we have a class that suits your goals. Each session also has a maximum of 12 people, allowing for personalised attention and a supportive environment.
To ensure you are getting the most out of each workout, you can use a complimentary heart rate monitor (limited availability) or can use your own. The heart rate monitors provide real-time updates visible on screens throughout the session making it easier to track your progress and push yourself to new heights every workout.
The eighth week of the MGT+ program is the results and progress tracking phase. Using Maroondah Leisure's body composition scanner, a coach will provide consultation and advice on your results for the past program of training and goals for your next 8-week block.
