CIRCUITS
The More, The Merrier.
The PUMP circuits are an experience that combines intensity, music, and a sense of community. They are designed to complement strength training and to push participants to increase their cardiovascular capacities.
Through interval-based work, attendees are encouraged to explore the limits of what they are physically capable of and to embrace a mindset of resilience and focus.
