At HITIO Gym, we've got a special treat with the family in mind

Our new Family Classes will provide fun, exciting and most of all, a healthy activity for you and your loved one to all enjoy at the same time.

This class combines both of our in-house classes; fitness boxing and Crosstraining. With a similar layout to finess boxing and the high-intensity interval training exercises you will find in Crosstraining.

This class is for all levels and abilities as every exercise is scalable, so this welcomes everybody!

Benefits of a HITIO Gym Family Class Workout:

• Instructor lead and very motivational, giving members commitment and likelihood of achieving their health and fitness goals
• Not only does the parent benefit from a workout but so does the child, it also gives them quality time together with someone else giving the instructions.
• This class offers seasoned (experienced) exercisers a new challenge, meaning regular gym goers can add some new variety into their routine and include the added benefit of family time.
• This is a really good class for new exercisers looking for a quick way to see results and of course, interact with their children, instructors and fellow members (we love to intergrate our HITIO family!)
• You can work hard and keep those muscles too! ... Yes, it's even a class for our members who only like the 'weights area', the 'weight lifting parents' that think classes are not for them. Studies show that both weight training and HIIT workouts allow dieters to preserve their hard-earned muscles while ensuring most of the weight loss comes from fat stores. WIN/WIN!

Obesity - what can possibly go wrong?

More seriously, we've seen all the headlines related to the UK's growing levels of obesity, particularly among the young. Public Health England reckons that 66% of adults and 25% of children from 2 to 10 are overweight or obese. Overweight kids are more prone to becoming overweight adults, with all the health problems that go with that. And within the next 15 years, 70% of adults are likely to be overweight.

Obesity's a problem that's not going away anytime soon. But for YOUR family, you can change things.

Health issues related to obesity include diabetes, stroke, heart disease, cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, anxiety and depression. All are avoidable if you do the right thing at the right time.
