Gym Forum des Carmes Istres

In the Free Weight zone you can train with dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells and plates. Generally speaking, this will give you a more general weight workout than when you train with the machines. This is because you are moving freely and the muscles have to work together to lift the weight.

This zone has a range of equipment you can use to exercise and get ready for what may come across outside the gym. Here, you can use equipment like a functional rack, slam balls, plyo boxes, bumper plates, olympic bars and kettlebells.

The Stretch zone is intended for stretching and exercising the stomach muscles with equipment like a stretch rack, gym balls, foam rollers and mats. In this zone you are mainly training for core strength and balance/flexibility.

In the Virtual Cycling zone you can really put your fitness to the test with our Indoor Cycling classes that you follow on a big screen. Look at the group class timetable to see set times for classes, or you can start a session yourself at any time of the day. Take your earphones with you, plug them in to one of the bikes and let those leg muscles burn!
