Then check out the new Spartan Workout class being offered by Fitness First. Designed for small to medium groups, it imitates the obstacles from the recent Spartan Race and features such outdoor activities as throwing, jumping, carrying, gripping and climbing to prepare participants for the real competition. This class is in fact good for everyone as the exercises improve agility in everyday life.

Four to eight bases (depending on the club’s area) replicate the obstacles and movements needed in the Spartan Race. The level of difficulty can be adjusted to fit the individuals under the instructor’s advice. Progressive training is suitable for those who are aiming to attend the race, but for those just wanting to exercise, the regressive training, which focuses on improving strength, is better.

For those who will take part in the Spartan Race, three months of training is recommended with the first dedicated to build up strength, the second month to practising specific skills that will be needed in the competition and the last month to advanced training.

The Spartan Workout Class is a group exercise that helps create motivation and teamwork, which is the initial purpose of Spartan Race. The movements improve agility as the joints can be moved in many directions, more than in cardio or weight training, and the difficulty level can be adjusted at the instructor’s discretion.
