Putting in time at the gym but not seeing the results? The best fat-burning classes below are specially designed high-intensity workout sessions that’ll fix that right up.

Tyrone Brennand, founder of concierge personal training service Be The Fittest agrees that high intensity is the answer to your fat-burning goals: ‘High intensity classes or classes with weights are great for burning fat. When training at a high intensity and/or with weights, your body will burn calories and speed up your metabolism which promotes fat loss. During a high intensity or weights workout you will obviously be burning calories, but most people are unaware that when you’ve completed your workout your body will still be burning calories hours after. This is known as EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption).’

Whether you want to see the pounds drop off faster, or to speed up your metabolism, check out our pick of the top fat-burning classes. Find one that works for you and you’ll be seeing #gains in no time!

Psycle

Some might find 45 minutes on a stationary bike a bit of a bore but with Psycle, there’s no chance of that being the case. The class covers core strengthening, toning and plenty of cardio for the ultimate fat-burning session – all on a bike. Rhian Stephenson, Managing Director, says: ‘Psycle classes take you through a variety of intensities specifically designed to burn fat, tone the upper body and engage the core. It mixes high-intensity training with bouts of endurance, sprints and strength work which challenges the metabolism and forces the body to switch between energy systems.’

We heart: doing weights while on a bike – it makes us feel like a savvy champion. At a very energetic party.
