Six reasons to try Xpress classes

What if you could get great results even with little time - would you give it a try? You should do that — here are six reasons to try out Xpress classes.

Skeptics and cynics alike would argue that you have to work long and hard to get fit, improve endurance, and build muscle. But that's not always the case. Highly effective short-term training is known for excellent cardio results and improved muscle training performance. Music in your ears? It is true And with our wide range of Xpress classes You can do a quick and powerful workout while having great fun at the same time. Here are just a few benefits you'll get from taking part in our 15-minute (yes, really) workouts...

Less is more

Short, rapid bursts of energy can actually be more beneficial than longer workouts, leading to faster results in less time. A recent study in the European Journal of Applied Physiology suggests that just 15 minutes of exercise increase your resting energy requirement for 72 hours after a workout — as effective as a 35-minute workout.

Time is essential

It is not always possible to complete longer training sessions. Work and family commitments can have an impact on the time we have for ourselves — and exercise is often the first thing that gets neglected. Many of our Xpress classes are just 15 minutes long — the time it takes to quickly scroll through social media and catch up on what your friends had for lunch.

Longer workouts aren't for everyone

Working out for hours can affect some people's joints and muscles; others simply don't enjoy long sessions and lose concentration halfway through the workout. If you recognize yourself here, short training sessions are just right for you.

Lots of variety

There is a wide range of Xpress classes available to you, including Abs Xpress, Circuit Xpress and Functional Xpress. Whether you want a quick push to focus on your core muscles and abs, or you want to diversify your circuit training, these short courses add variety to your training program. We think outside the box when it comes to training — some of our courses are probably not what you'd expect. One of them is Roller Xpress: a self-massaging exercise that uses a roller and a mini roller to reduce muscle tension and pain.

You'll have fun

With the variety of our Xpress classes and the short duration of training, you won't have time to think — don't even think about being bored. We're constantly adding new and innovative ideas to our courses — it's all part of the Holmes Place Signature Experience. Xpress classes are the perfect alchemy of movement, fun, and trying something different.

Improved fitness

Short, quick workouts result in fat loss and calorie burning. We work out in small groups so you get the intensity of personal circuit training in the gym — so you can work much harder. With the variety of classes, you have more time to enjoy different workouts and work out different parts of your body.
