Beat X Studio

Not a fan of exercising? Working out doesn’t have to be lifting weights, going for a run or using different machines. With the right equipment, exercising can actually be a lot of fun, and you don’t even have to think about that you are exercising. At Beat X Studio, they know exactly how to exercise in a fun way, which makes you forget that you are actually working out at the same time. Let’s take their rebounding class as an example – here you can rock to the music and immerse in the dance lights. This type of exercise improves your lymphatic system and tone your muscles. The boxing, colour riding, hybrid training, and rebounding classes are all about sculpting muscles and burning calories. The music and the purple lights make you adrenaline pump and you feel like you are in a club.
