The HIFT Class
HIFT (High-Intensity Functional Training) at Axe & Hammer Fitness
Train Smarter. Build Strength. Move Better.
HIFT combines functional strength training with a short, high-energy circuit, giving you the best of both worlds: strength, mobility, and overall fitness.
​
💪 What to Expect
Each session is carefully structured to balance guidance, intensity, and results:
-
Warm-Up (Trainer-Led) – Prepare your body with a guided warm-up that primes muscles, joints, and your cardiovascular system.
-
Strength & Functional Training – Focus on 3–4 key exercises per session, designed to improve real-world strength, stability, and mobility. Each exercise is performed for 3 sets with appropriate rest, ensuring you build strength safely and effectively.
-
Fitness Circuit – After strength work, enjoy a short circuit to target cardiovascular health, endurance, and overall functionality. This keeps your heart rate up while reinforcing functional movement patterns.
-
Cool Down & Stretch – Finish with guided stretches to improve recovery, flexibility, and mobility.
