WHY HIIT AT LAVATION?
Cool Facility
Our circuit training is performed on indoor turf. Friendly on the hands and body, it’s the stuff workout dreams are made of. Nothing like a huge concrete wall for slam balls, throws, TRX and battling ropes. A big ass fan positioned directly overhead will move plenty of air and keep us all feeling good.
Equipment
Thoughtfully chosen and exciting pieces of cardio equipment compliment a variety of strength equipment all orchestrated for balanced programs and great overarching fitness.
Expertise
Our experience drives us to build balanced routines. We don’t make party pump routines for showy muscles and entertainment value. Each class incorporates the whole body but there will be additional emphasis on one area of the body so we can dig a little deeper. Master each workout, drive change in your body and just as you adapt, you guessed it…..new loop! Our program design is intended to elevate fitness on multiple levels while reducing the incidence of injury.
Technology
An iPad at each station will hold a repeating video of the movement. It will provide a quick and easy reference to execute the exercise and get the most out of it with as little risk as possible.
Leave it all on the turf
