FAQ
JUST A FEW QUESTIONS WE HEAR REGULARLY TO HELP YOU
Frequently asked questions...
Is Paradise For Me?
Yes! Everyone can join our classes regardless of age, injuries and current fitness levels. The programming is modified for each person to help you safely become healthier and fitter. Grandparents and Olympians can perform modified versions of the same general workout. Our coaches are here to guide you through the workout and give the perfect workout tailored to you as an individual.
Do I have to be fit to start?
How many classes should I do a week?
2-4 classes a week is a realistic for beginners, depending on your level of fitness when you start. It may take a while for your body to get used to training at that intensity, so at the beginning you might need more recovery time between training days. Our 2 x classes per week membership is a great place to start!
What kind of results can I expect?
Be patient. Results take time but if you’re consistent, they absolutely will come. The exciting thing as a beginner is that results come fairly quickly, even in 30 days you can really see a difference in your strength and overall fitness. Some common results our members see after regularly hitting our classes are: fitter, leaner, healthier, better mentality, clothes fitting better and more energy! What's not to love!!
I don't want to get bulky!
Our classes do involve a weight training / resistance training element, such as the barbell, dumbbells, kettlebells etc. Strength training is a great way to enhance your shape, feel stronger and fitter as well as an effective way to burn body fat. As a female, it is actually quite challenging to build muscle. At Paradise, we focus on what your body can achieve and celebrating that, often a more toned physique comes with this.
What do I need to bring with me?
Yourself, a good attitude and a water bottle!
Im scared, nervous, worried about starting. Help!

It could not be more simple, drop us an email! Ask us any questions you like or just let us know which membership you want and we will sort the rest. Some people prefer a chat over the phone, just let us know in the email and we can give you a call!
Where do I park?
Park in the car park infront of the main Seale Hayne building. We would recommend giving yourself an extra 15 minutes for the first class to make sure you find our facility and to get yourself familiar with the area.
