All Yoga Athletex HIIT classes are high intensity explosive training and conditioning circuits designed to maximize the body’s ability to burn fat, build lean muscle, optimize the body’s hormone and physiological response to exercise while improving overall daily and athletic performance. I know, it’s a mouthful. But, had to get it out.
For Everyone
Our HIIT classes are made for everyone at ANY stage of athletic development (see the LTAD model). Our circuits are made accessible to everyone regardless of age or fitness level through the use of progressions and regressions. Meaning, we can modify or up-level most anything!
The Benefits
This type of high intensity explosive training triggers an improved physiological response to exercise by elevating activity of the endocrine system leading to increased hormone production (including growth hormone) which stimulates protein synthesis. This, in turn, leads to improved muscle growth, fat metabolism leading to a reduction in body fat, and increased metabolic rate for sustainable weight loss and effective weight management.
It is important for people in the 30+ age bracket to participate in high intensity circuits, to stimulate hormone production, because this is when a decline starts to take place. That’s right. I said it.
Our circuits will improve strength, speed, endurance, balance, flexibility, coordination, motor control and more through the OPT model used to build these circuits, approved by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). The movements are sequenced so that participants perform dissimilar consecutive exercises, promoting active recovery.
Each circuit aims to achieve performance in phase one (Stabilization Endurance), Phase two (Strength Endurance), and Phase five (Power) of the OPT model. We work to achieve high rep, low intensity sets within a 30 second period to fatigue the muscles, which will ensure that all muscle fibers are recruited. Clients who have been working with low reps and heavy weights for some time are often in dire need of a higher repetition strategy. As stated before, the neural and hormonal benefits of such protocols are much more effective for the speed and power state of the client/athlete than what has been previously believed and researched.
It’s 2018, y’all. Don’t get complacent with 80’s training. With every YAX circuit, you will find a full body workout, work in every plane of motion, and constantly be challenged to increase performance!
Clients will optimize calories burned during the exercise, and will also experience nearly two times the post exercise caloric expenditure, in comparison to traditional workouts! That’s just an added bonus with no extra work. Can’t beat it.
Complement with Yoga
In addition to our HIIT (high intensity interval training) classes, we also offer a variety of yoga classes. You can move dynamically with breath as a means to sweat, restore, and take active recovery. With styles from hatha, vinyasa, and restorative, we have something for everyone. Come get on the mat with us to really reap the benefits of our programming.

Most people have some sort of dysfunctional breathing pattern that they are unaware of. It can destabilize your trunk, cause loss in mobility, lower movement efficiency, and reduce force potential.
Jump training, also known as plyometric/speed/muscular endurance training, is geared toward athletes looking to increase their vertical, speed, power, balance, and agility, as well as reduce injury onset.
Being mentally resilient means being able to recover quickly from difficulties. It's a skill that takes practice. You need to train your mind.
