Besides personal training, Soo also offers fitness classes such as Gymstickin, Barbell Matrix and aerobic classes. But the more adventurous can opt for:

* The Masala - an energetic group exercise routine based on the latest music and movements from Bollywood and Bhangra dance

* Yogataal – combining the basics of modern yoga practice with contemporary world music
