Wondering what the best fitness classes for weight loss are? For the ultimate fat burn, you’ll want a class that offers one of the following:

1. Get Fit with HIIT

High Intensity Interval Training exercises (HIIT) are designed to give you maximum results in a minimum time. HIIT-style fitness classes provide one extraordinary benefit for weight loss: they boost your metabolism for hours and hours after your workout is over. Just by taking one interval class, you can continue to burn fat for the rest of the day. Interval classes feature short bursts of intense activity, followed by a slower recovery period. Here are some of the ways you can enjoy the benefits of a HIIT workout at Baptist Milestone.

Double Trouble:

It might sound like trouble, but Double Trouble combines a Power Ride set of intervals designed to crush calories and accelerate fat loss with a Boot Camp to target your problem areas. The combination of Power Ride and Boot Camp gives you the best of all weight loss classes rolled into one fat-burning workout that really turns up the heat.

Shred:

A full hour of non-stop interval training that includes cardio and strength training. Shred is the perfect class for all fitness levels.

2. Cardio Fitness Classes for Weight Loss

Weight loss often comes down to one simple equation: burning more calories. When you want to crank up your calorie burning potential, you might as well do it in a fun and festive group fitness class with other people who share the same calorie-torching goals. Here’s some ways to crank up your cardio.

A dynamic cycling class geared towards burning 500 calories in a fun group. This challenging ride includes hill-climbing, cardio intervals, and active recovery periods that add up to a big calorie loss. Burning 500 calories was never more fun.

You don’t have to be an experienced dancer to get the body you want; these easy to follow dance moves are perfect for any level.

3. Fitness Classes that Sculpt and Slim

Many people think that only cardio can get them to a slim and sleek shape, but building strong muscles is an effective way to lose weight fast. Muscles burn more calories when you are resting, so the more muscles you have, the better your metabolism will perform all day long. Strong muscles will also help give you the shape you’ve been dreaming of. Here’s how you can sculpt your way to a sleeker, thinner self in one of our fitness classes.

What do you get when you P.U.M.P? Producing Unlimited Muscular Performance. Hand-held weights, bands, bars and other equipment will challenge your body while strengthening your core. A creative class that uses a variety of equipment to pump you up, P.U.M.P will increase both isolated and integrated strength to get you the body you’ve dreamt of.
