# Mental Wellness-Boosting Workouts POUND Unplugged is an Immersive Workout at Crunch Signature Gyms By Kalin Ned | Published 2022-09-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-workout References: [poundfit](https://poundfit.com/pound-unplugged/)  A new immersive workout that focuses on supporting mental wellness has launched at [Crunch Signature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunch-corn-gifting-pint-pot) gyms across the United States. The 30-minute experience was devised by [POUND](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pound-plus), the "international fitness company known for the innovative drum-inspired cardio-jam session." The focus on mental wellness is important in the context of the global pandemic and the high levels of stress that consumers experience on a daily basis. Titled POUND Unplugged, the immersive workout blends 20-minutes of high-intensity training with 10-minutes of rhythmic breathing, restorative stretching, mindfulness, and meditation. While the challenging mat portion promotes the release of neurochemicals, the latter part enables participants to settle into a peaceful and empowering state of mind. The POUND Unplugged immersive workout will be available with partners worldwide in 2023.
