Module 5: Circuit

“Circuit is a high-energy, high-intensity class designed to test the body and its energy systems. This class has you working on your cardiovascular fitness, aerobic and anaerobic capacity, as well as testing your endurance. Expect a variation of movements and teamwork.”

Programmed for the middle of the week, Circuit is fast paced and sweaty. You can expect to see a balance of nearly every movement pattern in these classes and for the programme to change completely week-on-week. In addition to this, Circuit aims to challenge the body’s energy systems in a broad fashion: some sessions can be far more geared towards aerobic conditioning, whilst others feature shorter working blocks that are far more focussed on power and maximum effort. As the weekly structure can be vastly different, it’s extremely important coaches are comfortable with directing the class as there can be lots of different structures within one class. Circuit, in a similar way to Coar, requires a respectfully authoritative approach to ensure everyone knows what they’re doing and that the class runs to schedule. In a similar fashion to Regatta, when teaching Circuit on the weekend it is up to whoever is coaching to programme for that day.

A wide variety of exercises can be programmed into one session, and if you are unfamiliar with any of them it’s important to ask questions or to further research the movement yourself. Teamwork is often a feature of these classes, so coaches will need to be comfortable with a little bit of quick maths. An example of a Circuit class can be found below:
