During a heatwave, the idea of getting even sweatier with a full-on workout can be enough to derail a fitness routine but GymNation is helping fitness enthusiasts in Dubai beat the heat with "The Coolest Class," an ice-powered fitness experience.
The Coolest Class in Dubai provides participants with insulated gloves and hedgear, plus chilled towels to regulate body temperature. During the experience, gym-goers push their limits with activities like Blizzard Sprints (treadmill runs with fans for resistance and cooling,) Frosted Reps (weighted squats with ice-packed vests) and the Polar Push (sled pushes with ice blocks.) There's also Chill Zone Recovery, featuring an inflammation-reducing ice bath.
Training in the cold isn't a gimmick; it challenges the mind to become focused and resilient, and conditions the cardiovascular system to perform at its peak.
