What is Boost?

Boost challenges the basic abilities of agility and stamina. A medium intensity workout with the sole aim of getting as far away as possible from daily routine, in order to achieve Total Body Performance.

Can I Boost up?

Would you like to improve your endurance and overcome the initial barrier of training? Then Boost is going to be your best friend for the upcoming months. This class is extremely useful for those looking to improve their Stamina, an essential element for those long distance sports such as running, cycling and swimming. In addition to physical endurance, you’ll become familiar with your body, finding the potential of your athletic skills.

Given the proposed exercises, applicable to users of every level, Boost is the most suitable class for those who approach Skill Athletic without a specific sports background, or for all those who have finally decided to get their body back after a very long period of inactivity.

What will I do in Boost?

The goal is simple: move, sweat, raise your heart rate. In a nutshell, never stop.
Try to give everything you’ve got, but at a pace that allows you to train constantly and for the entire session. What matters is not the number of repetitions, but for how long you can go on without stopping.

Don’t worry, you won’t be alone. Boost classes proposed workouts to be carried out in teams, composed of two or more class participants who support each other to complete the class.

Am I Brave enough?

Brave aims to increase the basic strength, high intensity education, mental toughness and adaptability to power-endurance. As the name suggests, Brave is a class not meant for the faint hearted as it will force you to find the courage necessary to get comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Am I Brave enough?

If you are seeking a safe and effective high intensity interval training workout where you are ready to put all your physical effort in one, look no further than Brave. This class is especially recommended for those who want to remain mentally and physically sharp despite heavy physical fatigue, but also for those who are new to this training and want to test themselves. In fact, the major innovation faction of this high intensity interval class lies in its modularity – the different level of intensities, both in the weights and in the cardio equipment, each participate can use relative to their abilities.

What will I do in Brave?

The class is structured around the development of Power and Stamina, with two segments within the workout of similar duration. However, within a selection of Brave workouts there is a build segment, which specially focusses on the development of flexibility, stability and strength of movement quality.

In the first workout segment, Brave classes will consist of either movement development through the building concept or the expression of power through the high intensity interval training concept.

In the second part of the workout, both load and intensity increase. This part of the class poses a clear and simple challenge to the athlete: can you continue to give your best with your body close to the limit and at a breath-taking pace? The exercises are ordered by increasing difficulty, meant to push you gradually out of your comfort zone.

Do you want to get Fast?

Fast is specific to speed training, the most advanced component of performance. Short but intense drills dedicated to the improvement of speed and agility of movements.

Do you want to get Fast?

All those who have in mind to go beyond their limits and refine their technique in agility and speed orientated movements can take part in a Fast class, even those who don’t have specific skills in speed training. Fast is inspired by speed training sessions of the highest quality. Therefore, though everyone is more than welcome to join, an initial sports background, especially in speed training and agility drills, is recommended to enjoy this class fully.

What will I do in Fast?

A typical Fast class is made up of two training blocks, each containing a mix of speed training exercises and agility drills. Along with physical training at maximum intensity, learning the basics of running is a key element of this class, because to exceed your limits, technique and efficiency are fundamental components.

The exercises between the various sessions are short, but performed at maximum intensity, marked by active recoveries to work on physical endurance. The alternation between exercise and active recovery is essential for the improvement of speed and agility. Its not all pain and gain though: the complex super series are performed in a game like environment, meant to challenge yourself and your opponents in an amicable way.

Unlike more general classes, Fast has a clear goal in mind ad sport at its heart: everything is conceived to make you faster, more agile and sharp in body and mind, in order to exceed your previous limits and excel in most sports environments.

What will I do in Mighty?

Mighty is the class devoted to power development. Sessions dedicated to overloaded training, with teaching guidelines on how to perform fundamental Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting movements.

Mighty Athleticism

Mighty is inspired by all those sports that require at least one of the seven fundamental movements, having the ability to pull, push or lift the equivalent of your body weight, or those disciplines that require explosiveness to impart great strength in the shortest time possible.

Naturally, being at ease in a Mighty class takes time and requires great mastery over your body. Just like you can’t expect to run a marathon without training, Mighty is recommended for those who have already participated in a structured training system, or for those who have participated in a series of alternative Skill Athletic classes such as Boost or Brave….and made it.

What will I do in Mighty?

The key exercises in this class are Olympic weightlifting lifts such as the Barbell Snatch and the Clean & Jerk combined with secondary compound movements such as Squats, Deadlifts and Presses or complex kettlebell movements. Explosive strength, embodied into the Power and Speed pillars, are the skills you will build and perfect during this class. Furthermore, Mighty proposes sessions of strength made of powerlifting exercises, which allow you to stimulate the development of hypertrophy and strength.

Mighty consists of three separate class segments: the first on created around powerlifting – weightlifting and maximum loads working on explosive power and strength; a second one focusing on Olympic weightlifting with lower loads but for a more continuous period; working on muscular endurance and speed of execution; the third and final segment is designed to achieve a plyometric and power specific HIIT phase including the power mode on the Skill Line.
