Seven reasons to try Warrior

There are so many reasons to try Warrior classes: a challenging 45-minute workout of pure vigour. Warrior training combines intense cardio with beautifully choreographed martial arts techniques. 

It’s a dynamic ‘think-out-of-the-box’ exercise experience that will have you bursting with strength and determination like any fighting fit Warrior. Here’s what you’ll get out of it:

1.  Intensity.

We pull no punches with this class. Warrior is a high-intensity workout aimed to push and drive you to your peak fitness. Training is specifically designed to be intense and appropriately named due to the 110% effort and performance expected each and every participant. 

2.  Group work.

No (wo)man stands alone when he’s a Warrior and this class is no exception. Interactive group work is designed to raise spirits, encourage full participation and urge on you and your fellow fighters. Like any Warrior, members are competitive - but they’re also supportive and encouraging, creating a welcoming, friendly but challenging class.

3.  Competitive.

There may be no clashing of swords and shields at Warrior classes, but the sound of competition spears the air in each and every class. If you thrive on kick-ass classes, love a good fitness goal and thrive on a challenge, this arena is for you.

4.  Inspired by the iconic disciplines of martial arts.

Warrior workouts have been choreographed and designed with martial arts undertones. It’s not ‘in-your-face’ martial arts, more a hybrid of energised workouts combined with the disciplines, stances, kicks and punches that couldn’t be mistaken for anything other than martial arts moves. The style takes inspiration from kickboxing, karate, Taekwondo, Muay Thai and Capoeira, making it an ideal class for anybody who has always wanted to try martial arts or already has the skills and techniques. 

5.  Music for motivation.

Nothing gets your heart racing and endorphins pumping more than motivational music. It’s scientifically proven to help you work harder and longer. When you’re lacking energy and flagging like limp lettuce there’s nothing better than that fire-stoking tune to get spur you on again. We get you pumped with our Warrior playlists, keeping you motivated and driven through the entire training session. 

6.  Full-body workout.

Warrior prepares you for even more intense exercise by working out every muscle in your body. Focussing on cardiovascular exercise, Warrior classes also bring motor coordination and agility into the mix. Classes increase central and peripheral resistance, neuromuscular efficiency and bone density. With the cherry on top - the added twist of martial arts - you’ll also improve your agility and flexibility, while building upper and lower body strength.

7.  Fighting fit.

The combination of high-intensity impact training combined with high-tempo music, full-body workouts, martial arts routines and group competitiveness will push you physically, reaching your fitness goals and burning more calories. 

Whether you’re a complete beginner or at an advanced level, this class will supercharge your fitness levels and get you ready for any challenge. Read more about Warrior here.
