Overall, we very much enjoyed the class. The Flexline was easy to use, and gives a new spin to weightlifting.

CLASS: WheelHouse – Flex Circuit

Time: Tuesdays, 5:15pm

TRAINER: Fernando C. — Fernando did a good job of working on full body movements while using cardio circuit training. He doesn’t give a ton of physical adjustments, but does give lots of encouraging cues.

SWEAT: 6/10. Solid strength focus with limited bursts of cardio

LEVEL: Beginner

APPROX CALORIES BURNED: 300-500

MUSIC: Rap music and beats. We really digged the way he turned up the volume during each circuit and lowered it when providing instructions.

BRING: Water bottle. Towels are provided by the studio.

CLASSPASS: Yes

This class is focused on using the Flexline Technology machine, and is the only studio in the Bay Area that offers this machine. It’s basically a system that uses air pressure to help increase and decrease weight with a click of a button.

The class itself was very much focused on using the Flex machine, but also had a little bit of cardio sprinkled in. Here’s how it went down:

We had four main sets, each with 3-4 exercises.
- Each set started with a cardio burst (jumping jacks, high knees etc)
- Then we did 2-3 moves on the Flexline at 40-seconds each — squats, overhead presses, bicep curls, etc. The goal is to do as many reps in the 40 seconds as possible.
We did one set focused on arms, one focused on legs and glutes, and one focused on the core.
Class ended with a two minute plank hold.

The Flexline was easy to use, and gives a new spin to weightlifting.Adding and subtracting weight is as easy as a click of a button. After class, we didn’t feel totally destroyed, but we did feel like we got a full body workout. Goal accomplished!
