The AF60 & AF90
One format three zones
Every Altytude Fitness class is 45, 60 or 90 minutes, coach-led and heart-rate monitored.
Up to 36 people, 12 in each zone, one shared workout, one coach running the floor. Because it runs on your own heart rate, everyone works at the right level for them, a beginner and a seasoned athlete side by side.
The Floor
How a class works
1
Put on your monitor
Your live heart rate goes up on the screens from the first minute, shown as a colour, this puts everyone in the same place. Nobody is comparing numbers, because the colour only ever measures your effort against you.
2
Follow the coach
No-one walks in cold, your coach finds you first. The coach calls the session and moves the class through the zones. When to push, when to hold, when to recover. You do not have to plan a thing. Show up and follow the calls.
3
See it add up
Your effort shows in real time and your results follow you session to session. The coach keeps you honest. The screen keeps the score. You leave better than you arrived.
Most classes run all three zones. Some run two.
Where you train
three zones
01
Strength
Coaches coach form
The bench. The dumbbells. The kettlebells. The sandbags. Sets and reps, built to a system, with the load and the tempo doing the work. The coach calls the round and watches your form so you feel it where you should. There is no benefit to lifting quickly and we never ask you to. It is not about beating your last weight. It is about leaving better.
02
Treads
Hold, build and burn
Twelve Technogym Skillruns. The work is heart-rate driven, the coach calls the gear and you find the pace that puts you in the right zone. One day you could be going for a 5K and inclines. Other days we could introduce you to some of their other testing features. Either way you will be tested in ways you did not think a treadmill could.
03
Erg
Same lungs, no impact
Four rowers, four assault bikes, four group cycle bikes, four ski ergs. Four different ways to find your aerobic ceiling without the joint impact of running. The rowers want your whole body, the bikes want your legs, the skis want more from your arms than you would think. Different muscles working the same lungs. Useful on a day the knees are not having it and just as useful on a day when everything is.
Sound On The Floor
The music runs the floor
The music is not background noise. It is built into the session, the same way the zones are.
Every class has a soundtrack behind it, and the tempo moves with the work. The room lifts when the coach asks for more and it drops back when it is time to recover, so you feel the change coming before you hear the call.
Some sessions are given over to the music entirely. Live DJ sets, house nights, and nights where the whole playlist belongs to one era or one very guilty pleasure.
Four times a year
The Benchmark
One workout, run every quarter, never changed. Do it once and you have a number. Everything after that is you answering it.
A whole weekend given over to a single session. Same movements, same distances, same order, every time it runs. Nobody is racing the room. You are racing the version of you who walked in three months ago.
Same workout
Every time it runs, so the numbers actually compare.
Your Heart rate
On the screens from the first minute to the last.
Your record
Kept for you, quarter after quarter.
