The format
What Is HIIT, and Why the “Afterburn”?
HIIT alternates short, hard intervals with brief recovery. Because you work near your limit and then repeat, your body keeps using oxygen at an elevated rate after class — what exercise science calls excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, or EPOC. That’s the “afterburn” you hear about.
In practice, it means a 45 to 50 minute class delivers a training effect that would take much longer at a steady pace. It’s the most time-efficient class on our schedule, which is why the 5:30 PM slots fill with people coming straight from work.
Our coaches scale the work so the room can train together at different levels, and they’ll show you how to adjust any movement before the clock starts.
Your first class
What to Expect
01 — Arrive
Get there 10 minutes early
Check in at the front desk and tell the coach it’s your first HIIT class so they can keep an eye on your form.
02 — Warm up
Movement prep together
The class warms up as a group and the coach walks through each station before the first interval.
03 — Work
Intervals, 45 to 50 minutes
Hard efforts with short rests. Go at your pace; every movement has an easier and a harder version.
04 — Recover
Use what’s already included
Head into the infrared sauna, the cold plunge, or red light therapy before you leave.
Good to know
Is HIIT Right for You?
Some experience helps
HIIT moves quickly, so it suits people who already have a base of training. Newer to the gym? Start with another class or a few personal training sessions first.
What to bring
Training shoes, water, and a towel. Premium and Inclusive members can pick up a towel at the front desk. That’s it — we have the equipment.
Scaled for the room
Every interval has options. Coaches adjust load, pace, and range so you can train hard without forcing a movement that doesn’t feel right.
Train hard, recover properly
The Part Most Gyms Leave Out
HIIT is demanding by design, and what you do after class matters as much as the intervals. At TruSelf, recovery is built into the same visit and the same membership: cold plunge, infrared sauna, contrast therapy, red light therapy, and the Hyperice Recovery Room.
No second membership, no driving across town. Finish your intervals, then take fifteen minutes to recover before you head home.
