The 30-second article
• Classes that attract a niche market in boutique studios are often ripe for transferring to the bigger club environment
• LIT is a low impact training class that avoids the jumping , joint-jarring potential of some higher intensity workouts
• If you have the equipment and access to an experienced running coach then a group treadmill workout could offer an innovative class or small group training session
• Bringing the benefits of beach workouts to the studio , sandbox training is certainly original , if not entirely practical for all facilities !
• Circus skills training encompasses a variety of disciplines , from silks suspension training to calisthenics and hula hooping , that can transfer to the club setting . naturally . But with this in mind , if your gym is located near a beach or you have access to outdoor areas with unique environments for training , use your imagination to incorporate these elements into your classes and small group training options . Even an outdoor playground is ripe for plyometrics , climbing , circuits and stretching .
Circus training
Yoga studios , circus schools and dance schools have been gradually introducing ‘ silks ’ where students can practice yoga , barre , dance and balance poses while suspended from silk panels hanging from the roof . Hula hooping is also attracting a niche audience and is a growing attraction among the yoga and performance crowd . While circus schools and niche studios are set up with silks , trampolines and equipment specific to this style of training , there are certainly elements that gym classes can borrow . Hula hooping , juggling , trampolining and callisthenics are all circus and performance-based fitness methods that are transferrable . Again , like all classes , finding skilled and passionate instructors who can make specialised skills accessible is the key to making this work .
