FAQ

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS

What amenities do you have at UN1T?

We have the works! Every UN1T studio has toilets, showering facilities with body wash and shampoo, hair dryers and/or straighteners and shower towels. Sweat towels are provided for your session (trust us, you’ll need it!). There are water fountains to fill up your bottles and we encourage you to bring your own to avoid single use plastic. There may be added extras such as hair ties, face wipes and deodorant in the changing rooms and protein shakes, protein bars or energy drinks to purchase from Front of House but this is studio dependent.

It’s my first time! Which class should I start with?

Firstly, Welcome to UN1T! We have over 25 different classes across 3 distinct disciplines: conditioning, strength, and mobility. We advise starting with one of our strength classes on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday to ease you into training at UN1T. For those more advanced or confident, all of our classes offer a varied approach for achieving the same result: pushing you (and your UN1T!) out of your comfort zone so jump into whichever class you fancy and our experienced coaches will lead you through the session.

What are the different styles of classes on offer?

CONDITIONING – high intensity classes working in blocks of time anywhere from 20s in our tabata class ENT1TY, to 2 minutes in our endurance class ENDURE, all the way up to 8 minutes in our team conditioning classes like ALLY or PYRAMID.

STRENGTH – slower-paced classes with a focus on compound movements such as squats, deadlifts, and bench press. Using cleverly crafted blocks of time these compound movements are supplemented with accessory work on smaller muscle groups and every four weeks we move between muscular hypertrophy (3 sets x 10-12 reps) strength work (4 sets x 4-6 reps) and power training.

HYBRID – on Sundays we have classes which fuse cardio and strength training together for some of our toughest sessions on the timetable.

MOBILITY – Yoga for athletes is a class focused on stretching the big muscle groups we tend to target most in class – hamstrings, quads, lats etc – while easing you through some mobility and basic flow work.

It’s My First Time! What do I need to know?

We advise members to arrive 15 minutes before class so that you can find the studio and prepare for the session. Check in with our FOH team who will show you the amenities and introduce you to the trainers. They will take you through the game plan so you know exactly how to tackle the class and then you can mentally prepare for the session! All you will need is appropriate training clothes, a pair of trainers, a water bottle and you’re all set. Please note we do not allow members to enter class if you are late, due to health and safety reasons.

How far in advance can I book a class?

Classes open 10 days in advance so you can pre-book into prime-time spots.

What is the UN1T cancellation policy?

This is dependent on which studio you book your class with. Most studios operate a late cancellation charge and a missed class fee.

Do you have parking?

Some studios do have parking spaces available for UN1T members, yes. Please contact your specific studio for more detailed information.

Is it an open gym?

We are not an open gym. We work on a class-based format, running on average 8 classes per day from morning to evening. The studio is not available as an open gym outside of class times.

How long are your classes?

Classes run to the hour, giving us time for a thorough warm up and cool down. Actual training time is approx 40 minutes.

Do I need to be fit already?

The short answer is no. We welcome every person into our classes from absolute beginners to advanced athletes. We have experienced coaches who can offer regressions on all exercises should you need it, we allow you to work at your own pace and our community is warm and friendly and will support you whatever level you are at.

When are your cardio classes?

Cardio (or conditioning) classes run every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Tuesday will be a team based cardio session where an element of competition pushes you to get more from the workout. Thursdays is more of an individual class, and Saturday is a big group session, training as one!

I want to lift weights, can I do that here?

Absolutely. We set the bar high when it comes to heavy lifting in a group class format. We have dumbbells that range from 2kg all the way to 40kg and we do a lot of barbell work including deadlifts, squats and bench press using Olympic bars and plates. We have structured our classes so that stronger athletes have the opportunity to lift heavy with all the necessary kit they might need whilst also supporting our members who are newer to lifting.

When are strength sessions?

Strength sessions fall on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We run a 12 week programme that cycles through hypertrophy training (muscle building), strength training, and power training (developing explosive strength) in 4 week blocks that run throughout the year.

Do you offer corporate sessions or private sessions for group classes?

Yes, bring the whole squad down to class! Depending on the individual studio we can offer corporate memberships for groups that join from the same office or work place. For any corporate or general enquiries, contact the studio you would like to train in.
