Equinox, the high performance lifestyle leader, introduces The Cut, a total body, boxing and kickboxing group fitness class to the Boston region this January 2016. The 45-minute cardio-forward workout is a fitness journey, designed to introduce newcomers to boxing and martial arts while guaranteeing the ultimate workout for all fitness levels. Incinerating calories while building full body strength, speed and coordination, this class is designed to get members into knockout shape.

Stripping down to the basics with no bags, no wraps and no ring, The Cut utilizes every plane of motion using only the body and light hand weights. Created by Miami based Equinox group fitness instructor and Equinox’s boxing expert, Christa DiPaulo, the class is broken down into five rounds simulating different aspects of a real boxing match.

To start off the session participants will learn how to mentally and physically prepare before a fight before moving into basic punching and kicking techniques. In the third “Mastery” round they’ll break down super charged fight combinations, mastering their footwork and reaction time before moving into high intensity “Knockout” round designed to challenge the cardiovascular system and mind to help finish the fight. The “Final Bell” concludes the class with mobility exercises to help improve movement, increase flexibility and recover the body and mind.

Set to an epic playlist of deep house, trap and remixed top 40s, The Cut unleashes powerful, primal instincts while keeping the discipline of form, focus and technique. Between the non-stop cardio, hard hitting conditioning and the ultimate exercise high, each class member will leave Equinox ready to fight another day.

The Cut will be offered at all four Boston club locations beginning January 2016. For more information or to browse class schedules visit www.equinox.com.
