After your initial assessment, you will participate in 2 x 60-minute classes per week. These classes are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of up to six participants, to ensure that each session is fully supervised and personalised. Our Onero™-trained professionals closely monitor your progress, providing expert guidance and adjusting exercises as needed.
