BEST HIIT Classes | Singapore

In Singapore you're likely to find many HIIT training programs, however, not all studio/ gyms do it the same way(especially us). Injuries are high when doing HIIT sessions as form is not being introduced prior to a particular HIIT workout. Our HIIT training programs are designed for a variety of fitness goals, to help you prevent injury, have an amazing cardio workout, & build lean muscle tone.

What is in a HIIT(high intensity interval training) class?

The HIIT workout hype continues strong and that's a good thing. Not only does HIIT workouts get you sweating, it helps you build & improve cardiovascular fitness, . HIIT is an exercise program that involves fast bursts of intense exercises followed by periods of rest. Proven to increase metabolism & build strength, the formula delivers similar benefits to high intensity aerobic exercises to help you drive your base metabolic rate to efficiently use fat for fuel. Essentially, high-intensity interval training can affect the aerobic & anaerobic systems at greater rates. Think of HIIT classes as a circuit training which may combine bodyweight exercises, strength training, functional training, all to help fat los & increase your metabolism rate.

Is a HIIT class good for weight loss & cardio exercises?

One of the reasons why HIIT classes are touted to be great for fat loss is the amount of cardiovascular work, & how quickly you can improve your fitness levels for most fitness journey, without any cardio equipment! If you want your body to burn calories efficiently, high intensity workout will help with burning fat as it utilises short rest periods & a full body workout which have been shown to drastically improve body composition. When you combine /perform exercises such as strength training workout classes with light weights or bodyweight movements in short bursts, you essentially will create an environment to burn more calories not only during the classes, but more importantly, after!

What is a typical HIIT workout?

HIIT class durations vary—some classes last 30 to 45mins, while others take up to 60min. At MSMC, we believe working out smarter is essential, thus you don't need to do anything more than 45 mins to get results(our clients can vouch for it). HIIT aims to not only improve muscular endurance, but overall conditioning as well, by doing whole body exercise in the shortest time. It's better to have frequent shorter classes than to go to longer durations classes(longer doesnt mean better) & do it only once, twice weekly. The consistency in HIIT helps you adapt to the movements & reduces the chances of injury. Spin classes, martial arts(eg muay thai), & even tools such as battle ropes, medicine balls or kettlebells may be combined depending on the type of class you attend.
