A new group fitness class developed by a collaboration of international experts is set to debut in the UK with the first ever classes taking place at Fitpro Live on 18-19 July.

Physical Company, which is the exclusive UK supplier of Bosu products, will introduce Bosu 3dxtreme – a concept created by industry professionals Jay Blanik, Douglas Brooks, Candice Brooks, Julz Arney, Keli Roberts and Greg Sellar – to the market via session led by Sellar. The concept combines functional training with “explosive calorie blasting cardio” in a team training environment.

The session is based on what BOSU call ‘triplex training;’ the concept of fusing cardio, conditioning and core to achieve a lean and strong physique.

Each class is set up in three lanes – teams 1, 2 and 3 – and as many rows as required. In the centre lane of each row are two Bosu balls, with different items of equipment in lanes one and three. Each lane is then assigned either a cardio, core or conditioning exercise which are put together to form a triplex. Participants move around the triplex in their lane or ‘team’ to complete a set at each station.

“The beauty of Bosu 3dxtreme is its simplicity,” said Physical Company sales and marketing director John Halls.

“As well as being able to use all their existing equipment, instructors have access to a class builder tool which allows them to quickly generate a unique class, as often as they wish.”

Instructors can log into the 3dxtreme website, enter the equipment they are using in each lane as well as the focus of each lane. A class can then be generated from a database of hundreds of combinations. New exercises and videos are added to the database every quarter and each exercise in the class is linked to an instructional video, including technique tips and coaching points.
