HIIT CLASSES

TAKING PLACE IN THE ZONE

The Zone is home to our signature 50-minute High Intensity Interval Training Classes backed by the science of EPOC (Excess Post Oxygen Consumption.) Half of the class focuses on cardiovascular work while the other half is dedicated to muscular stabilization, endurance, strength and/or power training. A warm up and cool down/stretch is included in the workout to properly prepare and restore our members body before and after the workout. Each day of the week is dedicated to a specific set of muscle groups and the workout changes every day with not one workout ever being the same. The class caters to ALL fitness levels. For first timers to seasoned athletes, we provide modifications (beginner) and challenges (advanced) versions of each exercise. This assures individuals can be pushed at their unique fitness level. High-volume music and energetic trainers are the backbone of the class, which maximizes the workout not to mention the fun factor!

Phases of HIIT

Each class in The Zone focuses on a different phase of training. Phases of training are designed to assure all functional abilities are addressed to lead to improved overall health and performance.

Balance & Burn

Balance & burn days incorporate exercises that progressively challenge the body’s stability. Members will see isolated and unstable movements at slow and controlled tempos on the weight floor. Endurance based cardio is also implemented with the utilization of the treadmills and bikes.

Burn

Burn days focus on muscular endurance by maintaining stabilization strength while increasing prime mover strength. Members will see more reps with lighter weight on the weight floor and endurance based cardio on the bikes and treadmills.

Build

Build days focus on developing optimal levels of muscle hypertrophy. Members will see less reps with heavier weights on the weight floor and incline on the treadmills to emphasize strength building.

Blast

Blast days focus on optimizing explosive strength and power. Members will see plyometric and agility based movements on the weight floor with short burst of high intensities tapping into maximum effort levels on the bikes and treadmills.
