FAQs
REALLY THOUGH, WHAT IS A SWEAT CLASS?
We know that stepping out of your comfort zone is HARD, and walking into a new gym can be one of the most intimidating experiences, especially when the word on the street is that our workouts are challenging! SWEAT classes are 60 minute high intensity training classes that combine strength training and cardiovascular training in a group fitness setting. Our program utilizes a variety of formats so it's never the same workout and our programming is designed to work different muscle groups each day. Using equipment such as bikes, dumbbells, rowers, kettlebells, skis, med balls and more - our classes deliver the highest quality workout to our clients. All movements and workouts can be modified to fit your current fitness level - very beginner friendly. Our trainers motivate you through each class showing you the movements and ensuring you rock it safely.
WHAT IS H.I.I.T.?
High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is one of the best ways to shred body fat, sculpt lean muscle, and help you maintain it! HIIT combines weight sets with cardio moves with added short rest breaks in a variety of formats. Some days you will work in intervals of :45 work/:15 rest, some days it's 10 minute intervals with :30 rest breaks, and so on depending on the day and the focus.
DO YOU HAVE SHOWERS?
Yes, we have large locker rooms, bathrooms, and hand washing facilities.
DO YOU HAVE WATER?
Yes, we have water on site for purchase.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HIIT?
You will burn more calories than you average cardio class or run, twice as many to be exact (keep in mind it varies based on the weights you lift and your intensity level). You'll shed body fat, tone and define your muscles, and improve your overall endurance. Some other awesome benefits - look and feel better, sleep deeper and longer, and continue to burn calories for hours after classes keeping you energized throughout your day!
WHEN YOU SAY STRENGTH TRAINING, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
When we say we utilize strength or weight training, we use dumbbells, kettles, barbells, and more to build lean muscle. You choose your weights in any movement we do.
WHY DO SOME OF YOUR DAYS LIST SPECIFIC MUSCLE GROUPS?
Our programming is designed to focus on each muscle group and each portion of an overall fitness program by the week. We do this so you can choose which day of the week you want to come based of what your goals are. Our weekly schedule is:
Monday - Upper Body & Core
Tuesday - Total Body Tabata
Wednesday - Butt & Legs
Thursday - Total Body Lift Circuit
Friday - Core & Conditioning
Saturday - Total Body
Sunday - Rest Day
