A few weeks ago, we highlighted how loaded movement training's the next big thing in fitness, and the fact that Technogym's Kinesis™ exercise machine is fast gaining popularity here only proves our point. The futuristic-looking machine (it almost looks like something out of a sci-fi movie), which has been popping up at various gyms all across the island, harnesses a 3D pulley system that allows for 360-degree tri-dimensional movements—perfect for building functional strength. 

Interested to find out what these cool contraptions can do for your body? New gym Kinetika Xtreme runs group classes that specifically focus on workouts with the Kinesis™ machine. Expect to perform moves like squats, lunges and chest presses with the machine during each high-tempo class. And not to worry if you're unfit or injured—exercises are scaled according to your ability, and the machines can also be used for rehabilitation purposes. Plus, the studio is the first in Singapore to boast not one, but eight of these sleek machines, so there's no need to share!. 

Kinetika Xtreme is run by husband-and-wife team Ghaneswaran Sukumaran and Santhi Haridass, who are Singapore's only two Technogym Master Trainers and were both specially trained in Italy. Besides Kinesis™ workouts, the gym also provides ARKE™ training—ARKE™ is a set of brightly colored equipment (consisting of BOSU and medicine ball-lookalikes) that's chiefly designed to work your core. And then then there's your usual Zumba, Body Combat and Body Balance classes (but you can find those at most gyms now). 

Sign up for a package of 12 sessions at $75 per class, and walk-in customers will receive 12 free personal training sessions (worth over $900) for the month of June. Visit www.kinetikaxtreme.com for more info.
