Last semester I did an internship working in a small gym for women. I worked as a Kidfit instructor, and was able to help out with fun exercise routines with 3-5 year old’s while their mom’s went to a workout class. While working there I started hearing a lot about High Fitness (which I had literally never even heard of before).
They taught several High Fitness classes at the facility, but I was never able to attend one. I did get to see some of the moves and saw how much these huge classes of women seemed to enjoy the workout and it made me curious. High fitness involves current fun and upbeat music and set moves to each song. “Think Old School Aerobics meets HIIT training” is how the website describes it.
The women in these classes would come out drenched in sweat so it is obviously a really good workout, but they would also be laughing and singing and looking like they were having a genuinely good time. These also seemed to be the classes that were filled to maximum numbers. Since than I have wanted to try High Fitness, but am not currently at a point where I want to be paying for a gym membership. I excitedly went home and looking up High Fitness workouts on YouTube, and to my dismay realized there were none. Now if you know me well you would realize that in order for me to go home and look this up, it must have looked awesome because I am not the most coordinated or athletic person. High Fitness is a very highly regulated workout because of music laws, and the two founders have to be very careful to not break those rules. Because of this it is only taught by certified instructors, and each class is listed on the HIGH Fitness website. If you go to it there are some that are offered for free in churches and such but unfortunately I didn’t get to one before everything closed for COVD-19.
Then the other day I saw a notification that the High Fitness owners put up 45 minutes worth of High Fitness Instruction on their YouTube channel so people are able to still workout during this quarantine. I was so excited to finally be able to try it. HOLY COW it was hard and so fun. I kept wanting to quit, but made myself go the full time so I could really experience the full workout and know which songs are my favorite. I hope to continue this at home, and to start going to some classes after things begin to open again because it is a great workout and it is also fun with the current music and moves.
Obviously since I am new to High Fitness I am still learning the moves, but I think it will only become more fun as I know the moves and can go along with the instructors easier. I have now done the class 3 times and I am loving it! The first time was definitely still the most intense as the other two times I have done it with my toddler running around the family room with me. I love that it is easily accessible in my home, and I now have a lot more confidence that I would enjoy going to a High Fitness class after participating in their YouTube workout. If you have been interested in trying HIGH fitness but haven’t done it yet you should definitely try their online workout right now and see if you like it!
