Paracise classes with Kristy in Falkirk

Grangemouth SC Paracise classes…

We're making some changes to the way you check in at the gym or for a class at Grangemouth Sports Complex.

From Monday 18th May, you'll check into the gym with your membership card when you enter via our access gates at reception. If you have used the gym at The Mariner centre, the process will be the same.

From Monday, this will be the only way to check into the gym or a class, as the reception desk within the gym will be gone.

If you'd prefer to enter without visiting main reception, you can book your gym session via our app and scan your card at our access gates to gain entry. If you'd rather not pre-book your gym session, you can wait at the main reception to record your visit.

To avoid queuing, you'll always be able to book a session via the app, allowing you to scan through the gates right away.

Thanks for your cooperation while we make this change.

What is a Paracise class?

It is a structured 45 minute class, so that you know you always have a set safe and effective exercise routine.

Exercises are preset choreography to music that has been put together as functional movements that physios also recommend for many various muscle groups.

There is no floor work so helps to build confidence in working your joints and muscles and no fear of struggling to get up and down on a mat. This is important if you have not really exercised regularly.

The first track works on mobility of both upper and lower body joints and gently increasing your heart rate and breathing.

The second track is based on balance techniques for example through heel raises and building your calf muscles. This track can be done holding on to the back of a chair if you do not feel confident in your balance. This will get better as you do more.

The third track is called the chair track which helps to increase the strength in the front of your thighs. This has compound movements like a squat to help you to go into a sit to stand. This is especially important as we get older or if we have any health conditions where we need to keep working on the bigger muscle groups in our bodies to help support our joints.

We then have a gradual progression of tracks that work on increasing the heart rate through upper body exercises and lower body movements.

This helps to get the neuroplasticity in the brain working with the soft tissue around our joints to help build muscle memory. This works with the repetition of exercises incorporated in different music and fun tracks. Innovative and functional moves that help us in everyday life and activities.

We then have a gradual lowering in intensity for the last two tracks to bring the heart rate down and slow the joints and muscles to help ease the breathing to finish the class feeling good.

The class can be completed all the way through sat on a chair as it can help those with certain conditions. However there is a seated exercise class called Wobble that is designed for a seated exercise class. Paracise is a standing based class specifically and can be adapted to be seated and for the class to be taken at your own pace.

Hope to meet you at a class soon 💙
