What happens when a high-protein breakfast brand teams up with a high-intensity Strength & Conditioning (S&C) class? Magic—and a lot of sweat! At ELEAT, we believe that eating well is the key to moving well, and we’re on a mission to fuel active lifestyles with delicious, high-protein breakfasts that fit seamlessly into even the busiest routines.
Recently, we partnered with Virgin Active and we got to experience their S&C class firsthand—a powerhouse workout designed to build strength, endurance, and resilience. And of course, we brought along our versatile ELEAT cereal pots to show just how effective they can be as a pre- or post-workout snack. Whether you’re smashing personal bests or squeezing in a quick session before work, ELEAT keeps you fuelled and ready to perform.
What is an S&C Class?
Strength & Conditioning, often referred to as S&C, is a dynamic form of training that combines resistance exercises, cardiovascular elements, and functional movements to build strength, improve endurance, and enhance overall athletic performance. Whether you’re lifting weights, performing high-intensity circuits, or mastering bodyweight exercises, S&C is all about optimising how your body moves and performs.
The benefits of S&C training are vast. It’s a go-to workout for building lean muscle, increasing power, and boosting cardiovascular health. Beyond the physical gains, it also improves coordination, agility, and resilience—qualities that are essential for both athletes and everyday fitness enthusiasts.
These classes are especially popular among busy individuals who want to get the most out of their limited time. By blending multiple fitness components into one efficient session, S&C allows participants to target multiple goals—strength, endurance, and overall fitness—without spending hours in the gym. It’s a smart, time-saving solution for anyone striving to stay active and strong amid a hectic schedule.
ELEAT Meets Virgin Active
During the first week back in January, ELEAT joined forces with Virgin Active for a week of sponsoring their Strength & Conditioning (S&C) classes, it wasn’t just about showing up; it was about celebrating a shared commitment to health, movement, and fueling active lifestyles.
Virgin Active’s focus on creating high-energy, results-driven fitness experiences aligned perfectly with ELEAT’s mission to provide convenient, high-protein breakfasts that support busy, fitness-focused individuals.
To finish it all off the team got to take part in the final S&C class. It was a whirlwind of energy and effort, combining intense circuits, weightlifting, and bursts of cardio. Participants rotated through stations designed to push strength, endurance, and coordination to their limits. It was a full-body workout that left no muscle untouched, and every moment demanded focus, determination, and grit.
For the ELEAT team, the experience was eye-opening—and sweaty! The class challenged us to push beyond our comfort zones, with high-intensity intervals and demanding weightlifting sets testing their strength and stamina. Along the way, they learned how vital proper fueling is for performance and recovery, gaining a firsthand appreciation for the role nutrition plays in such a high-energy environment.
This partnership wasn’t just about promoting healthy living—it was about living it. The class reinforced the importance of finding time for movement, no matter how busy life gets, and the role ELEAT cereal pots can play in powering up for these moments or recovering afterwards.
The Role of Nutrition in S&C Training
The Importance of Pre- and Post-Workout Nutrition
Strength & Conditioning (S&C) training demands a lot from your body. Whether you’re lifting weights, sprinting through cardio bursts, or powering through circuits, proper nutrition is essential to perform at your best and recover effectively. Pre- and post-workout meals play a critical role in this process, providing the energy to push through tough sessions and the nutrients needed to repair and build muscle afterwards.

This is where ELEAT cereal pots shine. Designed with a perfect balance of protein, carbs, and fibre, they deliver everything your body needs to fuel intense workouts and recover afterwards.
