When it comes to high-intensity training in Republic Fitness’s Davis Square’s STRENGTH Studio, two powerful options stand ready to challenge every fitness level: METCON30 and LIFT. Both promise to push your limits and deliver results, but each takes a distinct approach. Here’s what you need to know about these two dynamic workout formats.
METCON30: Relentless High-Intensity Power
Prepare yourself for a relentless 30-minute journey where you’ll experience high intensity like never before. Start with a 5-minute warmup, then dive into 20 minutes of non-stop, heart-pounding action that will push every limit you thought you had.
Guided by an expert trainer, you’ll power through metabolic conditioning workouts including HIIT circuits, AMRAPs (As Many Rounds As Possible), or EMOMs (Every Minute on the Minute). This fusion of strength and cardio leaves little room for rest—your heart rate stays elevated and your determination gets tested with every rep. Finish with a 5-minute cooldown to celebrate what you just conquered. You’ll build explosive power, torch calories, and develop mental toughness.
LIFT: Science-Based Strength Innovation
LIFT combines heavy lifting with high-intensity interval training in a science-based program. Begin with a dynamic warmup featuring torso twists, jumping jacks, and burpees. The lights are down, music is up, and energy is intense.
You’ll do 20 minutes of heavy lifting at lower reps, building muscle, strength, and endurance. Then 20 minutes of HIIT to burn calories and reduce body fat. Finally, cool down with handheld massage devices to relieve stiffness and relax. This science-based training generates more strength, endurance, confidence, and longevity.
