masterclasses + sweaty socials + benchmark sessions
Our workshops, fundamental masterclasses, and quarterly benchmark sessions are designed to develop your knowledge, refine your technique, and keep track of your progress throughout the year.
Join us on 9th November for the return of our annual sweatfest raising funds for the Natalie Kate Moss Trust.
We set ourselves the target of raising £5K this year for the NMKT through a series of events and individual challenges which Elements members have been taking part in throughout 2024. We are now aiming to get over that 10k line with our biggest event of the year: a huge, HYROX-inspired workout.

Our monthly masterclasses focus on key exercises, kit, and movement patterns found in our weekly element classes.
Whether you’re a newbie looking to learn the ropes, or a workout veteran who’s looking to fine tune and enhance your technique, our fundamental masterclasses are here to support and enhance your training so you can feel confident and competent during your workouts. All of these in-depth sessions are free for unlimited members and included in credit-based memberships.
In this 90-minute session we break down the barbell compound lifts that we typically encounter in the weekly Earth classes. This session aims to build participants’ confidence and competence in the lifts while learning how to get the best bang for their buck when walking into class; everyone will walk away from this session with practical tips on how to improve their technique and see real progress in their lifting. We will focus on movements such as deadlifts, cleans, squats, overhead press, and bench press.
Cost: £35 for non-members
Members’ cost: Free for unlimited members, or one standard class credit for credit-based memberships

our benchmark sessions are a way to track your progress
Every quarter we’ll be running our benchmark sessions for Element Fitness members, so you can keep track of your progress throughout the year. We’ll throw some shapes in the gym and then head to a local hotspot to celebrate how for you’ve come with your awesome Element Fitness community!
Our next benchmark testing day will be taking place in December.
