Wargames is a virtual reality centre where you can enjoy gun battles with a group of friends. It also offers VR Arena Battles and various VR games across different genres, including sports, fantasy, shooters, and quests.

Before the battle begins, you are divided into two teams, provided with a headset, and briefed on the rules and how to make the most of the session.The game starts, and you choose your weapon  options include an Uzi, rifle, handgun, and others depending on your mood 🙂 It’s up to each team to develop their own strategy, and the objective is simple: whichever team has the highest number of kills after five rounds wins.

You play in increments of 30 minutes, which can, of course, be extended. Statistics on hits and kills are shown after each round, helping to maintain a sense of momentum and competition.

The battle is fun, tense, and adrenaline-filled. It definitely keeps you on your toes. The effects are excellent, allowing you to become fully immersed in the game. Time passes quickly, and it will leave you buzzing and ready for more.

Bungee Fitness: A Dynamic Form of Exercise That Emphasizes Play and Fun

Posted on by

Bungee Fitness, is a high energy, low impact workout, which combines elements of dance, aerobics and resistance training. An exercise that has been inspired by circus techniques; participants wear a harness attached to an actual bungee cord suspended from the gym’s ceiling.

The bungee cord creates a sense of weightlessness and allows you to bounce off the ground with each movement. The elasticity of the bungee cord absorbs the shock on impact, reducing stress on the joints, making it a knee, hip and back friendly workout! As the contact with the ground is moderate, it is an exercise designed for all fitness levels and abilities.

The routines themselves have been designed to be fun and engaging, and incorporate movements such as walking, running, star jumps, squats and spinning through the air on the rope. Combined with playlists that are upbeat and energetic to match the mood. The nature of bouncing and flying through the air, gives a sense of freedom and play, like the carefree feeling of messing about when you were a kid! By its nature, its an empowering activity that makes you step out of your comfort zone, in the classes I have been to I’ve noticed that people can’t help but smile and laugh.

As well as having fun, Bungee Fitness offers a lot of benefits. It is a complete full body workout.It combines the traditional advantages of a cardio workout; increase in energy levels, stamina, reduction in body fat percentage, with resistance training, through the use of elastic bands. You need to make an effort just to walk a few steps in bungee fitness, this helps to build strength and endurance.

It is also a good core workout. The bungee cords create instability, so your body relies on your core muscles to maintain stability during the workout, this leads to the strengthening of your abs and back. The workout also enhances coordination, flexibility and agility. There are also added mental health benefits, the adrenaline filled classes help to boost your mood, reduce stress and improve overall mental health.

So why not give it a try? Bungee Fitness is open to everyone, whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or someone who thinks they have two left feet! 😊

You can find many gyms offering bungee fitness around the city.

Feel the Burn and Have Fun with Barrefit!

Posted on by

Barrefit is a fun, energetic workout that combines ballet-inspired moves, pilates, and strength training. This high-intensity, low-impact workout targets major muscle groups like the arms, legs, glutes, and core. Using precise movements and high-repetition micro-movements, Barrefit is designed to work even the tiniest muscles. You’ll definitely feel the burn—and maybe even your leg will shake XD—but over time, you’ll improve your posture, alignment, and muscular endurance.

Most exercises are done at a ballet barre, which helps with balance and keeps your core engaged throughout. Lower body moves like plie squats, arabesque pulses, and calf raises are paired with controlled leg lifts to tone and strengthen. For the upper body, arm circles with hand weights target shoulders and arms, while glute-focused movements add that extra burn.

Classes also incorporate tools like resistance bands, sliders, pilates balls, and yoga blocks to enhance your workout. These props help you maintain proper alignment, ensuring you activate the right muscles instead of relying on larger ones to compensate.

Barrefit offers a full body toning experience, working every muscle group for a lean, toned physique. It also improves flexibility, especially in the hips, hamstrings, and spine, making daily movements feel easier. The controlled movements also help improve balance and coordination, giving you a strong foundation for other types of exercise.

The classes are fun and dynamic and the music matches the pace of the exercises, so you feel like you are flowing with the beat.  The higher intensity barre classes combine traditional barre with cardio and an energetic playlist. Whilst the slower flows focus on toning muscles and more relaxed music. Whatever type of barre you are in the mood for, be assured that the classes fly by. You don’t have to be a dancer to try barre, however those with a dance background will surely be drawn to it.

One of the greatest benefits that Barrefit encourages, is the is the mind body connection. While you are focusing on the tiny muscle movements and maintaining the correct form, your mind is much less likely to wander, thinking about work or what you are guna cook for dinner! You won’t get distracted, when you are following different instructions at the same time, such as holding on to the ballet barre, squatting, tucking and pulsing. Barrefit allows you to be fully present in the moment and in your body, while having the knock on effect of reducing stress, and helping overall mental clarity.

As barrefit is low-impact it also has the benefit of being joint-friendly. It works well in tandem with other high impact exercises that you might do. The quick transitions from one movement to another, will get your heart rate up and increase your stamina.
