Q: What makes this class so special and different from other classes?

A: It's all in the broad programming of the class format to hit every part of the body. Within the class you should get a; push, pull, 2 different hip hinges, core stabilizer, core mobilizer, core rotation, cardio, power, isometric hold. What you also get is accountability. For the minute round you can easily quantify the work done each class and each week. Simply count reps for the first and last round at each station.
Are they close?
Did you get stronger as you went on?
Did the movement become easier?

Most group fitness classes are based around cardio with some using weights and/or other props to get strength work done.

This class looks very similar to a circuit you and your trainer might do. Since its based on time over reps you can work at your pace through the class.

The purpose of this class is to hone in on each specific movement for that minute. I look for slow, controlled, and precise movement for that minute.

If you are looking for a great STRENGTH based class, come try TRX MAX!
