ABOUT THE
C8 kick-hiit class
A "high intensity interval training" group fitness class inspired by Thai boxing, kickboxing, boxing, strength and conditioning with a twist of fun. After an intense warm you go into 4 sets of 8 rounds. Each round is 1 minute. 50 seconds active and 10 second rest per round. There are 4 formats to the class. 1 by 1, 2 by 2, 4 by 4 & 8 by 8. Example, 8 by 8 would be 8 rounds of striking followed by 8 rounds of conditioning.
The class is run by a unique fitness app which has thousands of training videos specific for these classes and can be downloaded for home use via Apple App Store. The class finishes with a tough abdominal set and a stretch. The class is set in a night club vibe with loud and lights off and the controller being the instructor who guides and keeps you motivated.
