HIIT Training
This form of training is superior to all others in that it has higher EPOC which means more calories burned throughout the day. These workouts are fun, invigorating, and usually stimulate the mind in far different ways than merely hopping on the treadmill. We incorporate HIIT into a variety of workouts such as boxing, swimming, running, stairs, kettlebells, and plyometrics, and lifting weights.
Boxing
Having trained thousands, we try to choose workouts that are HIIT in style, but also fun. Boxing fits the bill perfectly. A boxer is unrivaled in their physique, endurance, and SPARQ. You couldn’t ask for more in an athlete and here at MOVFitness we make sure that our clients look like professionals & have fun. This means our trainers must know how to train like professionals while maintaining the fun aspect of the workout. You’ll learn both with us.
Kettlebells
This workout originated in Russia and in the past few decades has moved to the US. It has recently exploded to become a popular cross training method for the gym rat. A few women have jumped on board, but not more your tomboy than your average yoga guru. We’re here to change that with rubber weights and a modified version. We specialize in training kettlebells for dancers. The movement is very similar to the lifts and tricks seen in many acrobat or dance moves. You’ll learn how to choreograph kettlebells to music, pump up a group. and give a hard core workout without jeopardizing the clients’ safety.
Sword Fighting
Not as popular as boxing nor kettlebells, we’re still setting ground with sword fighting. We teach this art in the beautiful outdoors and show how you can train a class of 10 people with no more than $70 invested in yourself & equipment. Also, sword fighting is a great alternative to yoga. It teaches proper breathing, posture, and incorporates quick movements. The sword challenges the body and the mind and there is unlimited potential for learning here – for you & your clients.
Plyometrics
To build a strong foundation, we must teach the body to reach new boundaries. A plyometric action does just that. We teach you how to safely extend the body past its current boundaries to create new ones that will blow your mind. The plyometric movement is a foundation workout used by professional athletes always overlooked by the recreational amateur. Most trainers neglect to teach this to their clients as well. We will teach you the movements and also when it’s appropriate for a client to incorporate plyometrics into their routine and how often.
Running
Believe it or not, there is a lot of technique to running. From knowing how to hold your wrists, using your headweight to get around corners, and properly training your VMO to prevent runners knee. These are just a few of the concepts you’ll learn about to train your clients into athletes. With running as the beginning of MOVFitness, we usually cater our goals around this concept & train clients for races. 6 months after training with us, more often than not you’ll see our clients as top competitors in various forms of running.
Calisthenics
Along with plyometrics, calisthenics is an often overlooked routine used by professionals and neglected by amateurs. Since most of your clients are amaterus, it’s important to encourage them to take up such cross training ideas as calisthenics. Again, we train not only what the movement is, but when & for how long it is appropriate to introduce this idea to a client.
Stretching
There are various forms of stretching. Whether it be static, PNF, active, ballistic, and so forth. We will give you a well-rounded perspective of stretching and what to do and what not to do. Just because it is invented doesn’t mean it is helpful. We believe your muscles are like rubber bands and just as an elastic rubber band has its purpose (think slingshot), so does a stiff band (think a fan belt of a car). We will teach you how much to stretch clients and what type is appropriate for which type of client.
SPARQ
This is rather self explanatory: Speed, Power, Agility, Reaction, Quickness. The best athletes in the world make sure all of their workouts are centered around SPARQ. While this is hard to do, we encourage our clients to do the same and give you enough workouts in your repetoire to give SPARQ workouts off the cuff and mix it up everytime.
