Power Playground has been a MINT favorite for years. This popular class will now be offered in two formats:
Traditional HIIT style and ‘BURN.’
You’ll see these changes reflected on the class schedule beginning November 4th.
Here’s what you can expect!

PowerPlayground “HIIT” – AKA “High Intensity Interval Training” – This mega-popular 50 minute class, held in the PowerPlayground Area of our gym, is anything but routine! Designed to increase cardiovascular endurance with a variety of total body circuits ranging from 10 – 15 different intervals. Not only will you experience workout creativity to its finest with our MINT instructors, but also a dynamic and cardio pumping workout using the “Power” of kettlebells, resistance bands, weights, ropes and more but circuits are uniquely designed to emulate an adult fitness “Playground.” Challenge yourself against the clock and with the assistance of a heart rate monitor (*PIQ system compliments of MINT,) you’ll see your stats on the leaderboard for accurate performance zone, performance IQ and caloric burn. Sign up NOW before it’s too late as this signature class fills up fast!

*We encourage all members to take part of our heart rate monitoring system, PIQ for measured intensity levels that indicate: heart rate, performance color zones and overall performance IQ. HIIT is for all athletic abilities and ages 18+, no prior fitness credentials needed just water and a towel. [Avg. Caloric Burn 400-800 Calories]

PowerPlayground “BURN” – Think you’ve mastered total body HIIT performance? Well here’s a new challenge called “BURN”: combining the elements of traditional “PowerPlayground” circuits with ballistic movements, strength and power to give you the ultimate BURN workout. Designed to bring out your inner beast mode. These circuits are weight bearing and heavy resistance training aka HIRT “High Intensity Resistance Training.” Note: you need to be able to lift 30 lbs overhead, make a 24″ box jump, Flip the big tire, Push/Pull 80lbs sled…and that’s just the beginning! If you’re ready to unleash the inner athlete then this is the heart pumping, strength training program is for you. Due to extreme intervals with weights and intervals, a heart rate monitor is highly encouraged for safety reasons. PIQ is complimentary for this class, you’ll see your stats on the leaderboard for accurate performance zone, performance IQ and calorie torching!

This class is NOT for beginners! If you’re ready to take your fitness goals up a notch under the guise of seasoned MINT trainers/instructors, then this is definitely the class for you! Sign up NOW before it’s too late as this new class fills up fast. [Avg. Caloric Burn 600-1200 Calories]
