HOW IT WORKS
Getting started at Sostena is simple
At Sostena, you'll find equipment that knows who you are as you move about the place.
Each time you start using a machine, it'll recognise you, adjust automatically to your body and keep you on track with your chosen fitness goal, like losing weight, improving your mobility or building muscle.
You just turn up, choose what to do and our equipment does everything but the workout.
STEP 01/05 >
Start with a look around
See the space, ask all the questions you want and just get a feel for it.
Your first visit is just about getting comfortable.
We’ll show you the different spaces, explain how things work and help you decide what feels right for you.
You won't be under any pressure to commit, really.
STEP 02/05 >
If you want further help, we’ll guide you
If you’d like a bit more direction, you can start with a Technogym CheckUp.
It gives you a snapshot of things like:
-
mobility
-
strength
-
balance
-
cardio fitness
From there, we can help you choose a focus, whether that’s getting stronger, moving more easily, or just getting back into a routine.
You don’t have to do this straight away, but it’s there if you want it.
STEP 03/05 >
Choose how you want to train
There isn’t just one way to use Sostena. Most people find a mix that suits them. You might go for:
BioCircuit
A guided, full-body workout that helps you get a lot done in a short space of time.
Fitness Hub
A more open space where you can train at your own pace; cardio, strength, or a bit of both.
The Studio
A quieter space for inductions, coaching, mobility and recovery work.
Group sessions & classes
From functional circuits to wellbeing sessions, there are plenty of ways to train with others.
STEP 04/05 >
Stay connected while you train
When you get started, you’ll choose how you want to log into your workouts:
-
Technogym App on your phone
-
Wristband linked to your profile
Both help the equipment recognise you and support your sessions as you go.
If you prefer to keep things simple, that’s fine too: we’ll show you what to do when you’re here.
STEP 05/05
Get a bit of guidance as you go
Once you’ve done a CheckUp (if you choose to), your Technogym app starts to feel more personal.
It keeps track of your sessions and helps guide what to do next.
You might use it to:
-
Follow guided workouts when you want direction
-
See your progress build over time
-
Try new ways to move, stretch or recover
-
Get the odd reminder to keep you on track
You can use as much or as little of it as you like.
