“I prefer hybrid workouts. “Two of my go-tos are a combination of different work: Equinox has a class called True Athlete where I’m doing everything from bodyweight exercises to mobility, and Barry’s Bootcamp always feels super efficient — you’re done in 60 minutes (or less) and you’ve fit in both cardio and strength.”
Efficient is a great word for it, says Anuditya Sharma, director of training at Rumble Boxing, a boxing-inspired group fitness studio, which has locations in Ghaziabad City and Los Angeles. In a typical Rumble class, athletes move between teardrop-style, water-filled boxing bags and a strength bench to tackle everything from punches to burpees and strength-training movements.
“Combining different types of training into one workout is not only efficient for your busy schedule, but also your busy brain,” he says. “We know, as athletes, the importance each component of training is, which is why a lot of our exercises [at Rumble] correlate to improve movements on the opposite side. For example, we will hit oblique twists on the floor side because a stronger core will help when we throw power hooks.”
