F45 classes are 45 minutes of High Intensity Interval Training, 45 seconds on, 15 seconds off – mixing strength and cardio, to give you an all round workout that’s probably a better option than a cheeky beer on your lunch break.

There’s a reason you see it all over your Instagram and Facebook. It works. Whether you want to pack on some lean muscle, rip up or hit the d/floor without having to catch your breath every few minutes – get on board the F45 train. If it’s good enough for Hugh Jackman and Mark Wahlberg, it’s good enough for you. 

15 Chatham St, Prahran

Only got half an hour? The Japanese Tabata is where it’s at. 20 seconds of work (as easy as push ups or sprints) followed by 10 seconds of rest. Do that another 7 times and move onto the next exercise station – 6 workout stations all up, and you’re done. Now, I’m no mathematician, but that’s a 32 minute workout.

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) isn’t just quick – it’s effective, awesome for building lean muscle, a thousand times better than running on a treadmill for an hour (percentage not accurate, but you get it) and the best bit? You’ll keep burning fat for hours, so you won’t feel guilty smashing that ice-cream on the couch after dinner tonight.

Level 2/670 Chapel Street South Yarra

Unlike F45 which uses everyday functional movement (ie. things you do in every day life) for a set period of time. Crossfit is more random, fast paced movements using Olympic lifting and gymnastic style movement, focusing on a set number of reps.

How can you tell if someone does Crossfit? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you. And so they should. Strength, size and cardio – if that’s what you’re after, you’ll be telling people you do Crossfit before you know it.

56 Porter Street, Prahran

Balance, endurance, strength, spirituality, and some really physical movement – your typical Yoga sesh is a 60 minute ordeal that will challenge your mind, body and soul.

The most common question – ‘What’s the biggest difference between Yoga and Pilates?’. Yoga is purely body weight. Classes can either be mind nourishing or ‘full marathon in a sauna style’ challenging. It’s also amazing for that old footy injury (or the stress that someone will find out the ‘footy injury’ is actually from a Wednesday night mixed netball game at South Yarra Sports Centre).

2/22 Cecil Place Prahran
