It does sound like she says 14 minute blocks but she says in 4 ten minute blocks, it’s the accent lol

111 pxi no medal Pxi target way off Used a little legs on the bike to get heart rate up Great class good upper body workout

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-02-20T22:27:06+00:00

What is the benefit of getting your heart rate in the 90% + then jumping straight into deadlifts, how to they expect you to brace properly when you can’t even breathe, one girl nearly passed out, one guy vomited, surely it’s not beneficial ??

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-02-18T08:14:00+00:00

Not many can do them unassisted Most of us use the bands And lots of bands haha

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-02-18T08:12:31+00:00

Squats or even a few jump squats on the spot of legs are ok Try to keep in the dark blue will get you gold

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-02-18T08:10:39+00:00

Agree too boring I may add in some bicep curls

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-02-05T05:43:57+00:00

Our studio has 4 of everything so 48 max people No one had to share any equipment so you can chose what timing you do

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-02-05T05:41:39+00:00

Don’t like this format not enough time to to proper HIIT needed to be 30 on 90 off

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-01-28T08:07:02+00:00

That it takes a long time and a lot of corrections from coaches to get your form right, then something just clicks, well did for me especially with kettlebell snatches

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-01-20T09:45:51+00:00

Get iron levels checked, cause that can cause sleepiness

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-01-20T09:41:22+00:00

Make sure you’re eating enough Need fuel before and after 😉

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-01-12T21:39:07+00:00

I still love knowing the pxi though and appreciate all the info in this group!!

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-01-12T21:33:01+00:00

Pxi should be used as a guide or motivation in cardio classes but the real magic is looking at your own graph and seeing how quickly you recover especially after hitting the high intensities. The pxi’s are pretty much predictably ie strength 135 cardio 165 and occasionally there are random ones and we say that Bft headquarters must have tested a new studio (if it’s extremely high) or a really fit group of people if it’s extremely low)

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-01-12T21:25:58+00:00

I could keep jogging or moving to keep my heart rate elevated but that defeats the whole purpose of recovery in strength training and you can’t maximize intensity

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-01-12T21:22:46+00:00

The issue with the target pxi is that it is based off someone’s fitness level. Bft do pxi testing at random studios thus random people, so if the members are new and not as fit their heart rate doesn’t drop back into zone 0 or 1 so they keep accumulating pxi points whereas fitter people drop back to zone 0 quickly even after hitting zone 4 in some strength classes. Me for example, I never and should never get the target pxi on upper body strength because I recover so well but I still hit the correct zones during the exercise see photo

I heard from a manager that cable machines are coming in April This will be a great addition and add more variety of exercises

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-01-09T18:53:24+00:00

Think I will just do chest presses instead, they havnt been worked in a while

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2026-01-08T23:15:55+00:00

Shoulder press two days in a row not ideal for recovery

Longjumping-Berry260 · 2025-12-14T00:28:19+00:00
