Some 250 people gathered together in the outdoor plaza near Siam Discovery mall and waited with anticipation as day turned into night, signalling the start of the hour-long dance party. Virgin Active transformed the outdoor venue into a nightclub and participants partied and danced through two energetic and heart-thumping high energy workouts, with flashing light sticks in hand whilst being led by Virgin Active’s group of enthusiastic instructors on stage.

Pound is a brand-new workout that combines drumming with movements choreographed to music for a high-energy cardio workout set to the pulsating beats of its soundtrack. Designed for everyone and for all fitness levels, Pound strengthens and sculpts infrequently used muscles for a leaner, slimmer physique, and is the perfect workout for people who want to let loose and party, while getting a full-body workout at the same time.

“Virgin Active has always been at the forefront of introducing innovative exercises and workouts, and we take pride in our extensive offering of group exercise classes for our members, After bringing our members on exhilarating journeys to new and imaginative worlds with The Trip and pushing them to be fitter than before with HEAT, we felt that Pound was the workout to introduce to Thailand, where members can simply have a great time listening to rhythmic, pulsating beats of the music and leave the class knowing that they just finished working out their entire body,” said Vutravee Charuvatana, country manager, Thailand.

The new programme complements other dance and high energy fitness workouts like Zumba as well as Les Mills’ Body Jam and Sh’bam. All the classes are led by professional instructors who make sure that these workouts are fun and full of energy, while still challenging enough for members.
