Liverpool gym, Nuffield Health, have launched ICG® HEAT – a brand new choreographed, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) group cycling workout, offered at its NuCycle studios.
ICG®, makers of top-of-the-line indoor cycles and the company behind the popular Coach By Color® group cycling programme, have developed a choreographed HIIT class to music for which Nuffield Health have UK exclusivity until the end of September.
Designed to maximise the technology and the personalisation of the experience, everything from the speed of transition between training zones to the accompanying music has been specifically chosen by ICG®. This is the first pre-choreographed programme of its kind, to validate the HIIT protocol with power and data driving speed and intensity of movement.
Performed on an indoor cycle, ICG® HEAT is a 30-minute workout. Movements are kept simple and low impact so riders can turn-up-the-heat on their performance in absolute safety as they transition through personalised training zones IGNITE, HEAT, ON-FIRE & BURN, visualized on their screens to motivate and guarantee results.
Rick Crawford Head of Fitness at Nuffield Health says: “ICG® HEAT is a workout built around you, so while the classes are challenging, the personalised training zones mean that no matter what your level of fitness, you’ll be able to participate in, and enjoy, the class. I’d encourage anyone to get on the bikes and give it a go.”
To participate in ICG® HEAT attendees must first complete a functional threshold power class. As a test of fitness the class will establish thresholds, eliminating the need to guess how hard to push.
ICG® HEAT enhances the current group cycling offering from NuCycle by Nuffield Health, and will be available at their Liverpool gym from March.
