THE WORKOUTS
-
What is SH1FT?
SH1FT is a smart high intensity functional training format that includes SH1FT (bodyweight), L1FT (resistance), R1ZE (step), M1ND (flexibility & mobility) and R1DE (cycle) workouts. A normal class is 30 mins long, although our formats can be modified to fit any length slot, and can only be taught by an official SH1FT Instructor - someone who has passed the 101 Coach Training Course and is qualified to deliver a safe and effective high intensity workout.
-
What can I expect in a Class?
In SH1FT, L1FT & R1ZE you can expect to burn up to 500 calories while having fun! You'll move through the 6 Degrees of Freedom - up & down; side to side; forward & back plus bending side to side, and twisting. R1DE ramps up the calorie burn and mixes together the best parts of boutique cycle and performance riding. In M1ND we utilise the 6 Degrees of Freedom but we slow it down a little with the focus on functional mobility, stability & flexibility.
In all our formats, not only will you work up a sweat but you'll be building a foundation of functional fitness for life!
-
Can anyone participate in a SH1FT Format class?
Absolutely. SH1FT follows the guiding principle that hard work doesn't have to be hard on your body. All 5 of our formats are designed for everyone - from beginner to athlete - and are fully modifiable and progressive, so that no one gets left behind.
-
I have an injury, can I still take a SH1FT format class?
It’s not recommended that people with an injury take part in our formats. If you're currently injured, please consult with a medical professional and get cleared by them for a high intensity exercise before you take part in your first workout. M1ND is a little different and maybe more suitable for those recovering from injury, but again please consult with a medical professional and get cleared by them first
-
How do I take part in a SH1FT Workout?
You can participate in a class Face to Face, Live Online or On Demand.
The best place to find a class near you is to head our to SH1FT Forum and pop a request in there with your location and our instructors will be able to help you
