Class Pass: Torching Tabata, Lunch-break Barre, Box-and-Plyo and More
Try a class at Balance Chestnut Hill this week.
Happy December! Kick the month off on a fitness high by trying one (or all!) of these awesome group classes. Here are our picks for this week’s fitness plan.
MONDAY
What: Torching Tabata // You can do anything for four minutes, right? It’s worth a try at this tough Tabata workout, where you’ll do 20 seconds of max-capacity hard work followed by 10 seconds of rest, and repeated eight times for a total of four minutes per set. The entire class is 55 minutes long, so you’re guaranteed to be exhausted afterward.
Where: Tone Zone, 701 East Elm Street, Conshohocken.
When: Mondays at 6:25 p.m.
Cost: $16. Sign up here.
TUESDAY
What: Pay-what-you-can Yoga // This crack-of-dawn class is the perfect way to wake up. You’ll spend an hour practicing yoga in a 90-degree room as you watch Manayunk start its day through the gorgeous floor-to-ceiling second-floor windows.
Where: Hotbox Yoga, 4163 Main Street, Manayunk.
When: Tuesdays from 6:15 to 7:15 a.m.
Cost: Suggested donation is $15. Sign up here.
WEDNESDAY
What: Balance Box // Channel your inner Mike Tyson (just don’t bite anyone’s ear off) for this boxing-meets-plyometrics-meets-calisthenics class (phew!), in which a bonus five-minute ab session is tacked on to the end.
Where: Balance Chestnut Hill, 12 West Willow Grove Avenue, Chestnut Hill.
When: Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m.
Cost: $18. Register here.
THURSDAY
