Benchmark Canterbury is a small group training gym located in the Inner West of
Sydney in Canterbury. Benchmark focuses on bringing athletic development to the
general population. This means learning to move correctly, correcting
dysfunction,
deconstructing imbalances, decreasing injury risk, building strength and
improving
performance.
Everyone has athletic potential - it is just about learning to develop it.
This is not a 45 min HIIT class or a CrossFit session - this is a totally
different
approach to looking at health and fitness.
Benchmark Canterbury is changing the game by bringing strength and conditioning
methods to group training, Never has group training featured an individualised
sports science approach to training for the general population.
Benchmark Canterbury has a layered training system, meaning that there are
sessions
for all fitness levels. Every session is programmed to achieve the best
movement,
strength and postural changes.
This is like receiving unlimited personal training sessions in small group
training.
Personal training and access to our facilities, all included in your weekly
membership.
No. If you're used to turning up to a gym and trying to take yourself through an
average program of exercises, you'll soon be pleasantly surprised by our
approach.
Joining our small group training classes, where you are part of a community and
train at your individual level is ridiculously more encouraging and importantly
gets
much better results than trying to motivate and guide yourself through a
program.
Our members love the way in which they feel like every class is tailored to
them,
whilst somehow also being suited to the people training alongside them in the
small
group. There is a great sense of belonging and community amongst our
members.
We have a great app which allows you to easily book from your phone (or desktop
computer) for all of your classes, seeing how many slots are available and even
who
else will be in your class.
This is the starting point at Benchmark Canterbury. This is an assessment to
understand how your body moves, its strengths, its weaknesses and related
compensation patterns and injuries. This helps us provide an accurate starting
point
with your training prescription and identify the session types that will bring
you
the most benefit. We don't employ a cookie-cutter approach, rather we think it
is
integral to identify the intricacies of every member. We are all unique!
Immediately! Learning to move correctly, correcting your posture and building
strength will all start to take place in your first couple of sessions. We
recommended that you re-screen in 8-12 weeks to compare your initial functional
movement screen results and see the improvement.
Check out the website under the membership option or just come down to the gym
and
have a chat to Mitch or James at Suite 5, 1-3 Charles Street, Canterbury. We're
situated along the river (you'll walk off the street and turn behind the Korean
chicken restaurant). Canterbury train station is just around the corner and
there is
plenty of parking nearby. Give us a call and we can discuss if you need
help.
The initial commitment period is three months, after which the membership goes
to a
month-to-month contract with just four weeks' notice to cancel. You also have an
option to put the membership on hold for up to three months a year.
