Les Mills Sprint: A first in South Africa with Moove Motion Fitness
LES MILLS SPRINT is a 30-minute High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout, using an indoor bike to achieve fast results. It’s a short, intense style of training where the thrill and motivation come from pushing your physical and mental limits with electrifying music. Moove Motion Fitness is the first gym chain in South Africa to launch Les Mills Sprint. On Wednesday, 5 February, Moove Motion Fitness Secunda introduced the programme to its members. The launch class was led by Les Mills Qualified Trainer, Belinda Boer.
“We really feel like this is the next evolution of Indoor Cycling for Moove,” Dean Wrigley, Regional Manager and Master Trainer at Moove, told The Bulletin. “It’s really important for our members who have been training a long time to continually evolve their fitness programme and Les Mills Sprint really amps it up and energises Indoor Cycling in a different way that leads to greater improvement and overall fitness. It’s also a great way to make friends and support each other.”
The beauty about this is that every 3 months, Les Mills launches a new class format for Sprint.
They put all the science and motivation together into a neat package and deliver it to the world. Our Moove Trainers learn all the new moves and workouts and put it all together to deliver it to our valued members.
Booking for a Sprint class is essential and more information is available at the Moove Secunda Club.
The Myths and the legends of the metal community, history of the metal genre in South Africa, Part 3
It’s the early 1990’s and there’s something different in the air, a band formed in Johannesburg by the name of Agro.
True heavy metal, folk metal, melodic death metal, they did it all thrown into a multi-instrumental blender. The most interesting music in the metal genre of South Africa, if you’ve never heard of them, I strongly urge you to go check them out!
Sammy from Sacrifist (mentioned in Part 2) was asked the million-rand question: who exactly started it all?
Sammy answered and elaborated: “One of the first bands we’d ever drive hours to go and see was Agro. If you’re looking for who started it all, I’m sure they’re pretty close to that.”
In the early 90’s this non-stereotypical metal band was shaking the heads of South Africans everywhere, making a new kind of ruckus, they added new life to the genre combined with aggression and melody as well as constant entertainment in a scene saturated by Florida-style death metal clones. Through the years a lot of musical and line-up changes occurred, they had overcome a lot of hurdles and challenges revealing itself, forcing them to evolve and fight past it.
Agro makes use of a more traditional heavy metal sound, by use of violin and harmonic keyboards, carried by blasting drums and twin-guitar attack, resulting in melodic power! Thrash metal with aggressive, yet audible vocals, adding depth and personality.
They shot through the hearts of the crowd in true heavy metal spirit with a line of live shows that offered audiences a profound, professional musicianship combined with a hedonistic, larger than life, tongue-in-cheek attitude, fuelled by beer and a true rock ‘n roll spirit.
These skilled musicians have played alongside some of the world’s best rock and metal acts locally and abroad: Blind Guardian, Nocturnal Rites, Deity’s Muse, Ensiferum, Fokofpolisiekar and becoming the archetype. “Showing that they have the ability to enthral not only metal enthusiasts but they also have gained fans from across all musical tastes.”
