HealthCity launches Crosscity programme
BY Tom Walker
HealthCity International last month launched a new programme, Crosscity, across all of its French clubs.
The small group training concept picks up on the popularity of CrossFit, incorporating real-life functional moves that use body weight and/or small pieces of kit such as kettlebells and medicine balls.
While CrossFit can be seen to be catering more for elite competitors, HealthCity has specifically designed Crosscity to be accessible to all members whatever their age or gender.
The full-body workout changes every week and lasts for 50 minutes: 15-minute warm-up, 25-minute workout, 10-minute stretch.
A spokesperson for HealthCity France said: "You always work in a small group, which is great for building a sense of community among the members.
"We've also introduced an element of friendly competition, with performances written up on a board to encourage people to push themselves to improve."
