The 5 Hottest Workouts in New York City – Sarah Wall
New Yorkers go all out when it comes to fitness! This is why I love the Big Apple.
There are boutique studios thriving with so many creative ways to get people moving! The enormous energy that gets under your skin when you step foot in Manhattan is something that every girl needs to experience.
If getting active, eating clean and a vibing social life is for you, we can’t wait to make your dreams come true with @netfittours NY 2018!
In honor of our NY @netfittours travellers who will be seeing the New Year with us, I have put together my fav and hottest classes in N.Y.C.
Bring on the sweat sessions and great food after class!
Boxing: RUMBLE – rumble.com
The cardio boxing uses a teardrop-shaped punching bag that’s filled with water making it lower impact and more fun to hit than traditional bags. Plus there are only six boxing moves for you to memorise — no advanced technique required. You do two rounds of each alternating between floor and bag while the instructor leads both. Though the room is dark with loud music, instructions for sets, reps and combo punches are projected onto the walls so you can focus on exerting yourself rather than memorisation.
Biking: Soul Cycle – soul-cycle.com
The ultimate Spin Class, which has just been featured in the new film just release in cinemas “ I Feel Pretty”. The class has a high energy and a fun atmosphere. The 45min felt a little like a rave. They played pop and hip-hop music “Rihanna, T-swift, Clean Bandit, etc.” where the instructor would coordinate the lights with the workout. This made for a lively and energetic environment. Motivation is all around. This part might change depending on the instructor but the DJ instructor for the class I attended in LA was a former actor and performer and she was absolutely brilliant.
Booty Burn: SLT NYC sltnyc.com
Nothing hits the booty than a dedicated commitment to SLT 50min. Strengthen, Lengthen and Tone class. It is like a hyped up Pilates class done by these Megaformer machine. The sessions are set to hip-hop
pop and rock music. And though the routines change a common thread is that instructors work the muscles to their limit. As a high intensity athletes I appreciated that the classes were intense but not high-impact. Great for core strengthen and stability so we can stand tall on court.
Breathe: The Class – http://taryntoomey.com/
Combining aspects of meditation, yoga and heart-pumping moves like squats and burpees.
My first experience at “The Class” was in LA two years ago where I walked through the door expecting a chilled out yoga session. After some opening mantras and warm-up squats I found myself in down dog
repeatedly lifting and pulsing one leg to what seemed like she was playing my favourite spotify playlist. Then came burpees, jumping jacks and heart-pumping moves, each one repeated for uncomfortably long increments. Five minutes in, legs felt like jelly.
Burst: Mile-High Run Club: – Milehighrunclub.com
The Mile-High Run session was absolutely epic. It felt like I was running the Tan in Melbourne with all of my best friends, in the dark, with flashing lights. But no matter what the fitness level of the friends beside you, we stayed right by each other side! They offers three types of classes catering to different runners: DASH 28 a short duration intervals, HIGH 45 interval-based running and THE DISTANCE one hour of sprints hills and nonstop effort ideal for netball specific run session that are my absolute fav!
