Listen to your body. Take a day off when needed, particularly in the beginning, to avoid injury.

Yes. Provided a medical professional has cleared you to begin exercising again. Make sure you talk to the trainer before you start your class so they can provide modifications to the workout to prevent re-injury.

In general HIIT workouts are designed to build lean muscle, and improve overall strength and conditioning. Using lighter weights and higher reps when training is a great way to achieve muscle toning without adding bulky muscle mass. If you are looking to add large amounts of muscle mass try working with heavier weights and lower reps. If in doubt, talk to your trainer about your fitness goals.

Most classes are 45 minutes, although our Mighty Mate classes on a Wednesday and a Sunday are longer, with 1 minute intervals instead of 45 seconds, so allow about 55 minutes in total on these days.

Please check the location page of your preferred studio.

Bring comfortable sports clothing, athletic shoes, a water bottle (we have water and other goods for sale) and a big smile. We supply sweat towels for you.

Mighty Mate is our hardest class. It’s a full body workout with 60 second intervals instead of 45 second intervals. You wouldn’t think 15 seconds makes a difference but your muscles will tell you otherwise the next day!

Hiking, pilates, yoga, and stretching are all great accompaniments to HIIT workouts.

This depends on many factors including the fitness level of the participant, as well as their exertion rate. On average our mates burn 500-700 calories in a 45-minute session.
