WHAT IS CAGE FITNESS

Cage fitness is a complete fitness system that is based on the structure of a championship mixed martial arts bout. Cage Fitness    will give you a total body workout over 5 ? 5 minute rounds. The key elements that Cage Fitness focuses on are endurance, strength, power, and core. This is accomplished through our 5 round fitness system. The rounds are broken up into the following categories: Warm Up, Upper Body, Lower Body, Combo Round, Cool Down/Core.

 

The best part about Cage Fitness is that it is designed to cater to people at all levels of fitness. An individual can customize their workout by adjusting their intensity level to best suit their personal Mixed Martial Arts fitness goals. Each 5 minute round incorporates both aerobic and anaerobic exercises that will help maximize not only burning fat but also gaining muscle. This system of training allows the participant to burn more calories while increasing ones metabolism.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q:  Is there any contact in cage fitness?

A:  NO.  There is no contact in Cage Fitness or working with any partners.  Cage Fitness is a fitness program designed for individuals to work at their own pace. The exercises are safe for women and men.

 

Q:  Is Cage Fitness Martial Arts?

A:  NO.  Cage Fitness is based on the training methods used by Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) athletes.  MMA participants are considered by most to be accomplished athletes who have obtained the highest levels of fitness.  We have modified some of their training techniques to create this fitness program.  Cage Fitness will get people into the best shape without having to train in MMA.  This makes Cage Fitness not only one of the best workouts one can get, but also challenging and fun.

 

Q:  I have never worked out before...is Cage Fitness for me?

A:  Yes.  Unlike an aerobic class or other fitness classes where an instructor is leading a group of people through various exercises at a certain pace, Cage Fitness is broken up into 5 - 5 minute rounds that are made up of timed segments within those rounds.  An individual can compete with themselves to see how many repetitions of each exercise he/she can do within those segments.

 

Q:  What should I wear to class?

A:  Participants should wear comfortable and loose fitting workout clothes and sneakers/tennis shoes.  When signing up one should also purchase bag gloves for hitting the grappling dummy.

 

Q:  How long are the classes?

A:  Cage Fitness was designed to get maximum results in a short amount of time.  The class is 30 minutes which consists of 5 - 5 minute rounds with a minute rest in between.  This is the same format used in a championship MMA match. This allows an individual to complete a great workout without taking up too much of their day.
