The Workout That's Still A Top HIIT

High intensity interval training (HIIT) remains the top fitness trend for 2020. Working out at maximum effort for quick bursts, with short recovery periods in between, now comes in all different styles of workouts. Here’s where to sweat it out…

KUBE

This brand new HIIT studio is actually a cube-shaped space created by clever lighting. Step inside to face a cardio and weights session that’s so full-on there’s access to Theragun handheld massage guns between stations to aid active recovery. Move between the VersaClimber cardio machine, the Octane AirdyneX fitness exercise bike, and a number of heavyweights exercises using the Fitbench multipurpose workout bench. Pop on the hi-tech headphones provided and choose your own playlist while still hearing instructions from your Fitness First coach. Track your body’s progress with access to the gym’s 3D body scanners. Fitness First The Palm Dubai, Nakheel Mall, Palm Jumeriah. Tel: [phone]. uae.

Barry’s Bootcamp

Enter the red room at your own peril. The world’s most famous HIIT class is available at DIFC and Marina locations. Alternate between the treadmills and floor for sweat-inducing sprints, weights and ab exercises. Not big on running? Opt for the double floor session… but don’t expect to be any less breathless as you tackle even more burpees, squat jumps, and weighted lunges. Want an extra tough session? Head to one of lead trainer Jay Christie’s classes – where you’ll burn around 1,000 calories to a hip-hop and garage playlist most of Dubai’s leading DJs would be envious of.
