History
Training Mate started on the shores of Sydney harbor in 2009 with a simple belief - that moving your body and having fun with your mates could get you in the best shape of your life. While other trainers focused on yelling and screaming, founder Luke Milton drew on his professional rugby background and harnessed the power of positivity and sense of camaraderie to get the best results for his clients. In 2013, Luke decided to bring this philosophy to the US - complete with some Aussie flair and short shorts. Since then Training Mate has become so much more than a place to work out. It's become a community - a place where you can meet new mates and feel at home away from home - all while getting amazing physical results.
Specialties
Training Mate is a circuit based 45 minute HIIT (high intensity interval training) class that uses a combination of resistance and cardiovascular exercises to burn up to 1,000 calories in a single session. The class is divided into four timed stations which you'll complete with up to three partners. The goal? Push yourself as much as you can during each 45 second interval. No class is the same so you'll encounter a variety of exercises and equipment such as kettlebells, dumbbells, suspension bands, bikes, rowers and even kangaroo jumps! These all work to improve your speed, power and endurance all while toning and strengthening the core. Each class ends with a dedicated abs segment complete with the worst jokes you've ever heard. Don't worry, those are free.
