Services

REFORMER PILATES

Reformer Pilates at Drakes Gym is available only as one-to-one sessions with Wayne or Ben. It’s a practical way to build strength, improve mobility, and support recovery—especially if you’re returning to training, managing joint issues, or prefer a quieter environment. The machine uses spring resistance to challenge the body through controlled, low-impact movements. Sessions are steady, structured, and built around how you feel that day. We don’t rush progress, but we track it carefully. It’s strength training that helps you move well and stay consistent.

PERSONAL TRAINING

Most personal training sessions are with Ben or Pearce. The focus is simple: help you get stronger, leaner, and more capable—without wasting your time. We start by understanding your goals and your baseline, then build a plan that fits around your routine. Whether you’re new to training or have years behind you, we’ll guide the work and adjust as needed. There’s no pressure to push beyond what’s useful—just steady progress you can see and feel. Every session is planned in advance and built around you.

SINTESI TRAINING

Sintesi is a digital resistance system available only with Wayne. It uses a cable and motor to create smooth, controlled resistance that adjusts as you move. This makes it ideal for joint-friendly strength work, eccentric loading, or focused tempo sessions. It’s especially useful for busy professionals who want to train hard without overdoing it. Sintesi sessions are planned carefully and adjusted based on your ability on the day. It’s quiet, efficient, and designed to support long-term progress without unnecessary strain.

INBODY SCAN

The InBody scan is a standard part of training at Drakes. It gives a clear picture of what’s happening inside your body—muscle mass, fat levels, water balance, and more. We use it to measure what matters and track your progress over time. There’s no guessing, no pinching, and no fluff—just reliable data that supports smarter training decisions. The scan takes less than a minute and is followed by a simple explanation of what the numbers mean. It’s built into your plan and reviewed regularly.

DRAKES GYM

A Non-Intimidating, Friendly Gym That’s Never Crowded

Our studio is purposely never crowded, so you’ll never be waiting around for equipment or fighting for space. The vibe here is relaxed, and our team is down-to-earth. We’re here to support you – whether you’re a beginner or someone who knows their way around a gym. It’s a no-nonsense, judgement-free zone where you can get on with your workout and feel good about it.
