The gym classes you should be putting on your wishlist

As we prepare to say goodbye to 2019 and hello to a new decade, one fitness trend that has really taken off this year is HIIT. That’s high-intensity interval training between me and you, perfect for participants who are short on time but full of willing. HIIT training shows no signs of slowing down at any point soon so with that in mind, we’re here to tell you what classes you should be trying out in the New Year.

Another Space

Another Space’s HIIT program combines boxing with interval training and is the workout that will leave you on your knees. Prior to the session prepare yourself for a workout that will have you continuously switching between the punch bag and the floor. The sessions last 45 minutes which is enough time to get the endorphins flowing. If you’re after impactful results, and a true sense of accomplishment this is the class for you.

F45

With 35 studios in and nearby London, you won’t be hard-pressed to find one near you. The franchise originally born in Australia has become a worldwide phenomenon and has become the world’s fastest-growing functional training network in a matter of years. F45 has combined elements of HIIT, circuit training and functional training to develop 31 different, 45-minute workout experiences. Several people from The PHA Group have tried F45 and trust us, it’s an intense workout!

Sweat IT

Less than a 10-minute walk from Covent Garden will see you arrive at the doors of Sweat IT. Their training has been designed to primarily shock your foundations through a combination of strength, speed and endurance sessions. Sweat IT’s methodology means they focus on one muscle group per day, meaning you’d better watch out for those stairs after Tuesday (leg day).

Barry’s Bootcamp

The bootcamp class that has five studios located across the capital combines weight training with cardio, alongside bursts of intense anaerobic exercise. The science behind these sessions means due to the intensity you’ll spike your metabolism and will continue to burn calories even after you’ve finished the class. Barry’s boasts that you could burn up to 1000 calories or even more during a class, suggesting it’s the perfect remedy after a treat weekend.

ROWBOTS

Leave the chaos of the outer world and enter ‘The Machine Room’. Rowbots is London’s latest HIIT class, welcome to 45 minutes of pain. Classes are engineered to crush your mental and physical barriers, you’ll be pushed to your limit but it might leave you surprised by your resilience and the inner strength you possess.

Combining powerful floor exercises with intervals on the rowing machine, which the Rowbots team suggest is by far the hardest but most effective machine in the gym. Time to put that theory to the test.

Its Co-Founder is also international footballer and four-times Champions League winner, Gareth Bale.

1Rebel

With six locations scattered across London, 1Rebel has become one of the capitals most trusted classes currently on the market.

Choose from four different concepts including Reshape which is the ultimate full-body workout, expect quickfire rounds of high-powered treadmill sessions, dynamic weight exercises and most importantly a whole lot of endorphins.

Or alternatively, take on the hard-hitting Rumble concept. Expect explosive movements and quick footwork during this 45-minute workout. You’ll learn the foundations to boxing from your stance and form to killer combos.

💪🏽 THE TRANSFORMERS⁣ ⁣ At The Foundry, our coaches have taken on their own 8 week challenge. Practicing what we preach and setting our own individual goals. Our ‘team transformation’ members go through an 8 week programme adapted to their goals, and we know the key to success is adherence and consistency amongst usually a very hectic and often stressful lifestyle. So we think it’s important to walk the walk also, as you can see Dan and Alex doing here! Simple, very effective. ⁣ ⁣ We are about to finish our 3rd week, we have our own WhatsApp group to discuss how we are getting on day to day, and we share a weekly update on the last 7 days every Monday. Honestly it’s been incredibly powerful. We have gotten together to train as a team as often as our schedules allow, and we have held each other accountable and been encouraging through challenging circumstances. ⁣ ⁣ We all know 8 weeks is not a lot in the grand scheme of things, but the focus on adopting new lifestyle changes, working with progressive training plans and rediscovering mindful habits will have a huge impact on our mindset. Here’s to the next 5 weeks run up to Christmas team!⁣ ⁣ We are now accepting applicants for our January 2020 8 week team transformations, for more information on whether this could be for you, drop us a DM and we would be happy to share more. ⁣ ⁣ #WTSB
