High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
High Intensity Interval Training is a training method that combines exercises from different exercising styles like Tabata, Calisthenics, Crossfit, etc.It consists of very short and intense routines of anaerobic exercises, with very small recovery periods, whereby athletes can improve their body condition and increase their muscle definition, endurance and fat loss. With HIIT, the body is pushed to the limit, and every person has its own. Due to this, and to the fact that every routine is different (with and without weights, cardio and strength oriented), this class will provide fast results to those looking for major fat burns and also for those looking to increase muscle mass and get ripped. Classes are always different and based on WoDs (Workout of the Day), which will be built according to the attendants demands and feedback. It's exercising shaped to your needs!
