Some workout warriors will try just about anything—Aqua Spinning? Aerial Yoga? Seriously?—to get their sweat on. Fortunately, you don’t have to go to the same extremes to achieve total body bliss. You just need to head to THE GYM, where classes are designed around tried-and-true training techniques, not the latest fitness fad. Here are three that are whipping us (and our booties) into shape right now.
The Cage
This exclusive group class just might have you feeling like a kid again. Held in THE GYM’s private outdoor area, you’ll swing from monkey bars, climb ropes, and circuit train on a variety of gym equipment you probably haven’t seen since grade school. All fitness levels; Englewood location only
Visual Spinning (Cycle Seen, Englewood, Road Warriors, Montvale)The Englewood location takes cycle seriously with a video DJ, stimulating scenic videos and inspiring imagery of bike races so you feel like you’re on the open road no matter what the conditions are outside or try their Road Warriors class which tracks your personal performance data including heart rate, calories, power, and RPM in real time using group display or an app enabling you to reach new peaks in every class visit.
Cross Conditioning/Kettle Bell Feel like your stamina’s gone to pot? Have it meet kettle—kettle bells, that is. Grab hold and let master instructor Jay Lally take you on a full-body conditioning sweat session you and your core won’t soon forget. All fitness levels; Montvale location only
