Alongside our group classes, we are currently developing new options for personal training and specialist coaching.
These sessions will be designed for those who would like more personalised support with their fitness, movement or recovery journey.
Working in a smaller setting allows us to focus on your individual goals, whether that is building strength, improving mobility, returning to exercise after injury or simply developing confidence with training.
Future services will include:
• 1-to-1 personal training
• Small group strength training
• Pilates-based rehabilitation sessions
• Movement and mobility coaching
• Programmes for returning to exercise after illness or injury
If you are interested in working with Cardio Central in a more personalised way, keep an eye on this page as new services will be announced soon.
Due to the incredible success of our Tuesday night Strength Project sessions, we will be launching a brand new Strength Project class at Oldbury Academy starting Thursday 16th April 2026.
The Strength Project is a supportive strength training class designed to help you feel stronger, build confidence with weights and see real progress in your fitness. Each session focuses on simple, effective exercises that develop full-body strength, improve muscle tone and support long-term health.
You don’t need to be experienced with weights to take part. Many of our participants joined with little or no previous strength training experience and have gone on to increase their weights, improve their technique and feel stronger both inside and outside of the class.
Our sessions are friendly, welcoming and suitable for all fitness levels, with plenty of options to progress at your own pace.
Expect:
• Simple, effective strength training exercises
• Guidance on technique and progression
• A supportive group environment
• A focus on building strength and confidence
This new class will run as a four week course, following the same format as our current Strength Project sessions.
