About this website

The idea of this website is to bring you as close to the real life personal experience of participating in HMS Shipshape as much as possible without literally filming a class in respect of people’s privacy but also in providing any misconceptions as often exercise routines that may look quite complicated are easily constructed in real life through being broken down into more manageable sections.

One of the main questions people have before embarking on a different exercise class or instructor is what are they like i.e. Will they be friendly and welcoming? Will I feel inspired, supported and motivated?  Will I feel integrated and able to socialise whilst exercising with the rest of the class members? Will I be able to participate and feel that I am able to work at a level that suits me and meets my fitness goals?

That is why we have tried to incorporate various forms of communication via written text and video uploads in order to provide you with a broader picture and to respond to people’s various learning preferences.

The HMS Shipshape crew and its members have given their prior consent to participating in any photographic or videography taken and shown on this site , however it is worth mentioning that this is a small representation of our exercise community in respect of our members who did not want to participate in any photography or video footage.
