We advise students to try and make a minimum of 2 per week. Each week you will be introduced to new techniques following our structured and progressive system.

  • The traditional Tabata format consists of 20 seconds of 100% effort in a given exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest, this 30 second set is repeated 8 times before you take 1 minutes rest and move on to the next exercise. Tabata in this format normally consists of 4-6 exercises and aims at working both your cardiovascular endurance and strength. Tabata is typically a whole body work out.
