Yoga Sculpt: If this sounds familiar, it is because Corepower offers this variety also.The heat for the Equinox Yoga class is not on the “hot” or anywhere near the Bikram yoga level, but it is definitely noticeable and does a nice job of warming up your muscles and enabling a deeper practice. If you want to learn more about Hot Yoga I definitely encourage you to check out my post here. Equinox has upped the intensity in some studios (like the Anthem Row one in DC) with a Heated Vinyasa Yoga class.

It’s the typical set-up of Sun A, Sun B, and then Sub Bs with a few more add-one, usually followed by standing balance postures and closed with some deep stretches. Vinyasa Yoga (Including Heated): This is probably what most people conceive of for a yoga class, like the kind you see in movies and commercials.It is not as “flowy” as Vinyasa yoga, discussed next, and there are more arm balances and strength-focused movements this class, Athletic Yoga: This is very akin to power yoga, where you will be going in a lot of different directions on the mat and turning from one pose to another quickly.Here is a brief summary of the different types: While the offerings were only across 2-3 types of classes, it is quickly expanding to make yoga an excellent choice for both strength training and recovery. Equinox yoga classesĮquinox has really expanded their brand of yoga classes. Still, there is a bootcamp style circuit-based format with switching stations. This class is very similar to Whipped, except there is more emphaiss on battleropes and rowing machines. It’s really about how much effort you want to put into it.You can either make it really challenging or a moderate sintensity workout. Each exercise is either mostly cardio or strength based, so you would be going from a plank exercise to step-ups then and then over to the battleropes (or a rowing machine) in a course of under 2 minutes. This class is very bootcamp based, where everyone is at different stations and rotates from one to another after doing an all-out push for 45 seconds.

No, this is not a 50 Shades of Grey theme class (although, that would be cool:)

This is not a “take every day” class, but great once or twice a week for a full body conditioning and intense cardio workout. Between each circuit you typically get a 1 minute break, a good time to refuel and hydrate. In a typical class, you do several circuits with 3-4 exercises in each circuit. You will also likely use sliders and sandbags, as well as a few sets of weights for doing drop sets or adjusting for different kinds of exercises (i.e., chest press versus bicep curls versus squats. The equipment can take a bit to set up at your station so get there at least 5 minutes early. You will be doing moves like kettlebell swings, medicine ball lunge twists, skaters, and plank jacks. The exercises alternate such that you are constantly raising and lowering your heartrate, which really kicks your metabolism into high gear. It is about 45 minutes each class, and by the end of it you will definitely feel like you had a workout. In the particular class I took, the instructor uses sliders. You will be doing a combination of HIIT, weight circuit training, and core work.
