IF YOU LOVE HEART RATE TRAINING
Welcome to Life Time’s most intense treadmill workout. This high-performance speed and conditioning program is for the competitive athlete chasing a new PR every day.
HIIT, AND THEN SOME
Explosive sprints combined with dynamic strength and stability training on BOSU and balance balls. Become part of an elite yet welcoming group of runners and let your competitive streak run wild.
TRANSFORMATION ON A CELLULAR LEVEL
Maximum effort improves core energy systems, increasing metabolism, improving hormonal response and prompting neural adaptation. Translation: your body working for optimal performance.
THE FORMAT
UltraFit is engineered to push your limits from start to finish and should be complemented with strength, flexibility and mobility training. UltraFit ticks the cardio box and is great for cross-training alongside other workouts.
NEED FOR SPEED
a member’s story
“I've always been the kind of person who wants to go all out. When you give maximum effort, you can expect maximum results.”
the format
“While I have an idea of what to expect, there's enough variation that I never get bored. Class always starts with a warm up, the coach demos proper sprint mechanics and talks a little science. I love learning new things, whether it's how to use the biofeedback or nutrition, I pick up a lot here.”
GETTING STARTED
“We start turning the tread up, the adrenaline kicks in and we go. Sprint progressions increase in intensity and speed, and decrease in duration. Our ‘break’ is working on balance, stability and strength on the floor.”
THE MAIN EVENT
“The sprints are intense, but you're always in control. Every interval is an opportunity to put those mechanical learnings into play. I'm amazed at how quick the milliseconds dropped off my time.”
COOLING DOWN
“50 minutes fly by. We do PR shout outs, reflect a bit on what we just did and what our bodies are capable of. I connect with the coach on my workouts for the rest of the week. ULTRA FIT has become a big part of my life.”
