What is a FORM50 like?
Form50 is LIIT. Let’s break down LIIT, shall we? It stands for Low-Impact Interval Training. So low impact = no jumping, bouncing or otherwise destroying your joints. It’s easy on your back, hips and knees. But don’t be fooled, low impact does not = low intensity. In fact, it’s insanely intense.LIIT uses suuuper slow and controlled, functional movements on the FORMFormer that work your muscles to the point of exhaustion. That’s where the famous “shake” comes in. You’ll know it when you feel it. It’s all about time under tension to become stronger than you’ve ever been.That intensity is a real game changer. And the best part is, you never plateau because the workouts get harder, not easier, all while being kind to your joints. That’s exactly why LIIT is the sh*t.
Is this like pilates?
FORM50 is NOT Pilates. FORM50 and Pilates have a few things in common, both are low impact, and work on a machine. They are both proven ways to improve your core strength, flexibility, balance, and muscle tone. However, FORM50 simply provides better results when it comes to fat loss, cardiovascular endurance, and strength. While there are many advantages to FORM50, that doesn’t mean Pilates is completely obsolete. The intensity of FORM50 doesn’t suit everyone and those who are older or just want a light workout may be better off with the restorative nature of Pilates.
Is there a beginner class?
Yes! The class is called FORM YOUR FOUNDATION.Your coach breaks everything down step by step, the FORMFormer and all the moves, so you can get the feel and flow of killer form. Keep in mind that breaks are OK! Just take ‘em when you need ‘em (everybody does). Shake it out and get back at it. No judgment.
FORM YOUR FOUNDATION IS SUGGESTED FOR ALL NEWBIES. But, how do you know it's time to go on to Total Body?
1. You and the FORM totally get each other.
2. You hear names and cues for Mega moves, and you’re more like ‘got it,’ than ‘da fuq?’
3. Your transitions are smooth like buttah.
