To ensure gains do not have to come with pain, Virgin Active emphasizes the importance of balanced living, which includes exercise, recovery, and mindset. Thus, the club offers a wide range of classes, fully equipped facilities, and amenities as well as fitness experts to help you fulfill all your needs from inside the gym and beyond.
Exercise
Exercising builds strength and mobility for energy that is irresistible. Because finding the right kind of fit is crucial, Virgin Actives offers a wide range of classes to fit with your preferences and help you achieve your fitness goals including a gym floor, swimming pool, Les Mills classes, Pilates Reformer, Yoga and Grid Training as well as Personal Training and more.
Recovery
Many people may think that the more we exercise, the better the results, but often times, that is not the case. Recovery and setting aside time for rest are equally as important. Weather you want to relax in the heated spa pool, take a power nap in the sleeping pod or stretch and perform breathing exercises in a yoga class, Virgin Active has you covered. Thus, helping you restore your balance and renewal as well as enriching your life.
Mindset
Apart from strengthening physical health, a well-balanced life also calls for a healthy mindset so that you can maintain focus and presence and in turn amplify everything you love. Cookkai Pavadee, actress – turned Yogi, revealed “I try to enjoy everything that I do. For example, right now I enjoy practicing and learning yoga. I think these two things go hand in hand because they both allow me to develop my own yoga abilities.. Therefore, I am continually motivated to practice yoga because yoga sparks joy within me. I encourage everyone to give themselves a compliment each day. What I often say to myself is I have done well today, and I will try to do better tomorrow. However, if we were not as good or there is no improvements, it is also okay because it allows us to learn from our mistakes. Exercising is already hard as it is. If we put a lot of pressure on ourselves, one day we may hit our limit and become stressed and stop exercising altogether.”
“Every time I join a yoga class, I always receive good energy, either from the instructors or my classmates. All these positive energies inspire me to teach my own yoga class in order to pass on the good vibes to my students. I do not want them to feel that they are just here to break a sweat and then go home. For those who are scared or hesitant to join a class, take it easy and join a basic class first. Start with stretching, sitting, and lying positions. Once you get used to it and feel that the yoga class is not too difficult, you will gain the drive to join a harder class. You do not have to be the best at yoga or be able to perform difficult positions to enjoy the practice. Yoga is very diverse, so it is important to find a style that makes you happy. This will inspire you to want to go back for another class and foster a sustainable habit.” Said Tidarat Virasunti (Praew), Virgin Active’s Yoga Rockstar concluded.
In addition, to inspire everyone to complete their fitness goals this year, Virgin Active is offering 50% off until Songkran when applying for a 12-month membership until February 28th, 2023.
