MoveIT Group Training for Strength and Wellness

March 7, 2017

Classes now being offered!

Click here to view the HIIT Deck schedule on the Greendale Family Branch Page

Introducing a NEW group training experience that is specially designed for the HIIT Deck at the Greendale Family Branch!

MOVE IT is a high-intensity interval training program that hits calories hard during and after you work out. The intensity ramps up quickly in the session and delivers a big metabolic effect to go on burning calories while you carry on with your day.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A MOVE IT SESSION?

You’ll have to work hard – to push your heart rate above 80% – but MOVE IT makes it fun. You’ll get a whole range of innovative functional training equipment to use. (And some essential rest periods!)

Sessions are fast paced, competitive, and more varied than other workouts. You’ll enjoy a great calorie-burning hit and a big after-session buzz.

WHO IS MOVE IT FOR?

You can enjoy the shared group training experience, whatever your level.

Train to your own ability. MOVE IT up a level when you’re ready. The harder you work the greater the results will be.

WHAT WILL MOVE IT DO FOR ME?

Improved muscular endurance.
Improved aerobic threshold and cardio fitness for greater everyday fitness.
A great post-exercise EPOC calorie burn (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption) which means you burn calories during and after your workout.

GET INVOLVED!

Tell your friends and family on social media that it is time to #HitTheHIITDeck!
Challenge each other and tell us what you think about our new program and equipment!
