Sweat Couture + 10 Other Coolest Things In Fitness Right Now

Getting bored of the same old fitness classes and workouts? Never fear – the new season fitness trends are here, and they are awesome. From Sweat Couture to SoulCycle, here are 11 of the coolest things in fitness right now.

Sweat Couture

Sweat Couture

Gone are the days of turning up to the gym in that raggedy cotton t-shirt you’ve had at the back of your wardrobe for 10 years. Sweat Couture the latest trend and it’s here to stay, and means people in the gym are judging you more by what you wear rather than how much you can lift.
You’ll no doubt have noticed celebs these days are being spotted out and about in the latest designer workout gear, and if you want to stay on trend you can’t go wrong in picking up some of the pieces that they’re wearing. Best of all, the majority of this Sweat Couture gear from the big brands is still highly functional for exercise, with lightweight mesh materials and vented panels to keep you cool.

Broga

Now the last time we checked, it was perfectly acceptable for men to do yoga. However, if any of you fellas feel a bit embarrassed when you tell your friends that you mastered half tortoise and downward facing dog last night, Broga is the answer.
Attend a Broga class and you’ll find that the standard yoga poses are interspersed with press-ups, squats, and core exercises designed to build strength as well as flexibility. Broga also does away with the more delicate features of yoga classes such as candles and chanting, and replaces them with a healthy dose of rock music and testosterone.

Fitness Parties

If the bar scene has never really been your thing, a fitness party could be just the ticket for the next time you want to get together with your friends. Fitness parties are offered by an increasing amount of gyms, and allow groups of people to get together to let loose and shed some sweat.
That’s not to say fitness parties are dull. Hen parties are increasingly starting to turn to fitness parties as an alternate way of having fun, with poll dancing classes being the most popular choice. And who’s to say you can’t have a sneaky few drinks afterwards to reward yourself? After all, you’ll have earned it.

Pound

Take a regular aerobics class and combine it with a rock concert, and you’ve got Pound. You’ll be given two weighted drumsticks, and be led through 45 minutes of rocking out combined with a full body cardio workout.
Fun factor aside, Pound classes are a hugely effective workout. The song order is carefully selected to replicate high intensity interval training, with playlists made up of fast paced anthems to get your heart rate up, interspersed with steadier rock songs for recovery periods throughout.

Colour Runs

Take a standard 5k run, do away with the tedium of timings and strict regulations, add in a few thousand buckets of coloured powder, and you’ve got Colour Run.
Colour Runs have just two rules that just about anyone can follow. One – start the race wearing all white. Two – finish the race covered head to toe in colour. Anyone can do it, and while a PB is far from likely, you’re guaranteed to have the time of your life.

Virtual Training

Technology has already revolutionised the world of fitness with high tech workout gadgets and a plethora of apps making exercise more fun than ever before. But now, thanks to virtual training, you don’t even need to leave your home to have a workout session with an expert.
Virtual training classes are held over video-chat platforms such as Skype, and give you a one to one class with a trainer who can see everything you’re doing and correct your form accordingly. 

Ropes Gone Wild

There’s something immensely satisfying about Ropes Gone Wild. Essentially it involves flinging two weighted ropes around in undulating wave like motions, but this deceptively simple exercise is so much more than that.
Each movement of this unique class is rooted in your core muscles and incorporates your whole body if you do it properly, making it a hugely effective workout that never gets boring.

Urban Rebounding

Your inner child is about to get the workout of a lifetime. Urban Rebounding takes traditional aerobics and adds a mini trampoline to the mix (or ‘rebounder’ if you want to use the lingo).
As well as being low impact to reduce the chance of injuries, rebounding was found to provide a better cardio workout than running in a study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology.

SoulCycle

Popular with David Beckham and his soon Brooklyn, who are regularly seen attending classes together, SoulCycle takes the concept of Spinning classes and adds hand weights, body weight exercises, and a few candles dotted around the room for good measure.

Corporate Athleticism

First invented by corporate psychology gurus Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz, Corporate Athleticism is a concept that fuses physical fitness with business performance.
In essence the theory is that the stronger a person is physically, the stronger their productivity at work will be.
This is something we can definitely get on board with, as it means a management consultant is now just as likely to recommend a company gym as they are a corporate restructure.

Ugi

It took two years of research (probably extremely fun research mind you) to create the Ugi ball – a squishy ball of fun that takes the traditional medicine ball and makes it cool again.
The Ugi ball’s unique structure makes it perfect for a huge range of exercises, including strength training, cardio, and core workouts. Think of it like a giant stress ball – soft enough to balance on, but firm enough to be used for traditional medicine ball exercises.
