NYC’s April Members of the Month – Katherine and Phil

//  by 

NYC’s April Members of the Month – Katherine and Phil

Congratulations Katherine and Phil! Your hard work and commitment to EPIC have not gone unnoticed. Each month, we recognize a member for what they put in, and this month, you have both been chosen! We would like to brag about you guys in our newsletter and on social media so if you would please fill out the questions below that would help us to do so!

Your Name

PS + KM: Phil S. and Katie M.

I have been an EPIC Member Since

PS + KM: October 2015

EPIC Fun Fact

This can be anything about yourself or an EPIC memory from your time at the gym. Play any sports? Have any interesting hobbies. etc.

KM: I was a Division I collegiate swimmer, but never felt very confident with my “dryland” exercise ability until I came to EPIC

PS: I wasn’t a member of any gym until one of my dumb friends signed me up for a Tough Mudder charity run and I started doing EPIC to not finish last

My favorite EPIC class is

PS + KM: The Grynd

Give us a quick background on yourself.

PS + KM: We met in college and have been together 11 years, lived together in NYC for 10 and married for 2. We normally can be found partnering together – but occasionally fly solo when Phil travels for work or Katie needs a break from Phil. The couple that EPICs together, stays together?

What has been your biggest accomplished since joining EPIC?

KM: Being able to traverse all the way across the monkey bars and being able to Snatch – snatches were my nemesis for about 2 years.

PS: Remember the time I won half a member of the month award? More seriously…traversing bars, swinging on rings, climbing ropes, and doing all the fun things I couldn’t do at all when I first started.

What is your Instagram handle?

KM: @kates2117

PS: @psclafani45

HIIT: The Secret to Optimal Heart Health

//  by 

HIIT: The Secret to Optimal Heart Health

The fitness benefits of HIIT or high-intensity interval training are well-known. Fitness seekers worldwide are aware that through HIIT, they can efficiently get in a total body workout in 45 minutes that targets more muscle groups than most people do in one week. They also know that through HIIT they can expect to improve coordination, balance, and endurance, but did you know that HIIT could improve your heart health?

HOW HIIT BENEFITS THE HEART

Are you someone who doesn’t get in as much exercise as you should? Not only can regular exercise help you burn calories and slim down, but it also protects the heart. As you work out regularly, you improve your cardiovascular fitness which, in turn, takes the pressure away from your heart muscles as they are able to pump oxygen-rich blood through your body with ease. Any form of exercise can benefit your heart, but there are some methods of fitness that are more efficient at it than others.

HIIT is especially effective at improving heart health for these key reasons:

  • HIIT places your heart in the maximum heart rate zone for short intervals. This zone is toward the upper limit of what your body can handle while performing physical activity.
  • Between the intervals of high-intensity, your heart rate reduces into the lower heart rate zone, which allows for you to recover momentarily
  • Returning to levels of high intensity challenges your heart muscles to work efficiently to pump blood and keep up with your level of training.
By doing this repeatedly throughout a single workout and over the course of multiple training sessions, you are ultimately training your cardiac muscles to pump blood as efficiently as possible.

WAYS TO PERFORM HIIT

Individuals who wish to expose themselves to the heralded benefits of HIIT often have trouble discovering ways to perform HIIT. As niche at it may sound, one can adapt HIIT to whatever physical activity they enjoy. The only rule to performing HIIT is that you keep the intensity high throughout the workout only to be interrupted by short rest/transition periods. One can adapt this fitness method to:
  • Running
  • Swimming
  • Biking
  • … and much more

EPIC Interval Training in New York City is home to some of the most efficient HIIT you’ve ever experienced. Our minimalistic-style of training allows us to leave our shoes at home and the bulky gym equipment elsewhere. Instead, we perform our workouts entirely barefoot with our bodyweight being the primary fitness tool. With seven training programs that each focus on a different aspect of physical fitness, we’re sure that you’ll find the one most effective for you. Contact us today and discover how you can get your first class free!
