Micro gym: gym with workouts sold separately arrives in Brazil –

Instead of paying a gym membership, you can now buy each workout separately – meaning you only put your hand in your pocket when you sweat! Inspired by the micro gym concept in the United States, the Bio Ritmo chain has just opened its first version of the fitness trend at Morumbi Town Shopping, in the south zone of São Paulo.

“Anyone can enter the site, reserve their place in the session and come work out, just like we do to watch movies at the cinema”, explains Edgard Corona, president of Grupo Bio Ritmo. It’s like a mall with stores that sell workouts for R$49. “The cardio and muscular work is so complete that, if you do three classes a week, you can lose up to 4 kg in a month”, promises Edgard.

For now, Bio Ritmo brings together five studios on site:

Race Bootcamp

Training in a military atmosphere (the room is warmer and has red lighting) combines sprints on the treadmill and functional exercises with dumbbells and step. The 45- to 60-minute session keeps your heart rate elevated the entire time, which ensures your metabolism stays revving throughout the day.

Burn Hiit Zone

The 30-minute circuit solves the problem of those who have little time available in their agenda. There are four stations – air bike, rowing, step and dumbbells – in which the student remains for 45 seconds doing the movement at very high intensity. After five rounds (with only 15 seconds of rest between each set), you leave with a soaked top and a feeling of mission accomplished.

Torq Cycle Experience

Spinning classes were exchanged for a more complete experience: cyclists follow their performance on a television – yes, there is a competition between participants – and are challenged to overcome their own limits. The music and light effects give an extra incentive so that no one stops.

Squad Functional Area

Strength, endurance, agility and power are worked on in a single functional workout that recruits the whole body in a fun way (it has a ball, rope, cones…). Result: dries and defines at the same time.

Skillmill

Technogym’s motorless treadmill is a real challenge for even the best runners – it moves only on leg power. Combined with two other stations (jumping and kettlebells), the apparatus is part of a circuit capable of developing strength and speed.
