As a society, we seem to enjoy working out alongside others; we \u2018high-five\u2019 each other at the end of a session to acknowledge our commitment as a team, and hugging other class participants has now become quite a thing. There\u2019s the inclusivity factor, too. We \u2018like\u2019 posts, tweet familiar faces, and make an online commitment to go again. One brand that creates an inclusive environment is MOSSA UK (Italian for \u2018to move\u2019 or \u2018to excite\u2019). MOSSA is a global company that provides a range of group fitness programmes to people of all ages and abilities.<\/p>\n

You’ve probably been to many group fitness classes; you\u2019re now thinking, why MOSSA? \u00a0I\u2019m not going to tell you that it involves naked yoga or a Step class on top of a snow-covered piste \u2013 these are fads and MOSSA is not one of these. There are a number of things that make MOSSA pretty unique. More than 300 hours go into developing each workout and there\u2019s also methodical testing \u2013 more than 150 test classes for one workout. Then there\u2019s the national trainer team who deliver the programmes, they\u2019re a far cry from other trainers \u2013 these people are very real and they aren\u2019t too bothered about over-the-top self-promotion, which, in the age of instagramming abs, is a blessing. However, they are <\/em>bothered about their clients; you\u2019ll be surprised how many others are not.<\/p>\n

MOSSA on the road<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 14 May, MOSSA UK \u00a0travelled to Edinburgh and presented for the very first time in the capital city. The national trainers delivered five popular classes. \u00a0These included:<\/p>\n

Group Fight<\/strong> \u2013 an explosive mixed martial arts, cardio and strength workout. Group Fight is a fun way to train cardio and total body strength. With high energy music and fantastic sound effects, you will be addicted. Who is it for? For those looking for a challenging, athletic and motivating workout. It\u2019s explosive, electric and thrilling. It\u2019s a great choice if you\u2019re looking to add variety to your training, precision and focus. Plus, it\u2019s a great way to kick the stress out of your life.<\/p>\n

Also on the event programme list is Group Blast<\/strong>, which really does turn the average Step class on its head. Delivered by national trainer Teresa Wheatley (see bio below), the session is the ultimate energetic cardio workout and is driven by inspiring beats and a sporty and athletic feel that will appeal to absolutely everyone. Teresa\u2019s professionalism is first rate \u2013 she\u2019s engaging and highly motivating. In Blackpool, she managed to get middle-aged men jumping up and down on the Step \u2013 they may have been sporting the same kit they wore in the late 80s, but they left with a fresh face and a smile.<\/p>\n

Brand NEW to the MOSSA UK tour line-up is the ViPR\u2122 workout<\/strong> session, which uses both strength and cardio training approaches in order to burn lots of calories \u2013 just 30 minutes of hard work is required to help improve movement efficiency and to improve co-ordination. Train the body how it was designed to move \u2013 bend, tilt, stretch, extend, contract and pull. If you haven\u2019t heard of ViPR, I suggest you wriggle out of your cave now. www.viprfit.com<\/a><\/p>\n

This Sunday, 21 May, MOSSA will be in Burnley to do it all over again.<\/p>\n

Training everything from your hips to your shoulders, plus everything in between, using your bodyweight, weight plates, a platform and a towel. For those looking to improve their athletic performance, Group Core<\/strong> is said to help back pain.<\/p>\n

What Scotland is saying<\/strong><\/h2>\n

MOSSA isn\u2019t entirely new to the Scottish lands. Well-respected in Scotland and studio owner of Putton Mill in the Scottish Borders, Jenni Millar, said, \u201cI\u2019ve just started teaching MOSSA Group Power and Group Blast, and I\u2019m really enjoying them. The members love the new releases. I\u2019m really looking forward to Edinburgh next week and I\u2019m going to try some different programmes myself. It\u2019s going to be a great day and I hope to see lots of you there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ViPR Master Trainer, Gordon Cunningham who teaches in Scotland shared his support for the team as they prepare to showcase the programs in Edinburgh. Cunningham said, “Big shout out to the FitPro family bringing the MOSSA tour to Edinburgh. The programmes on offer are innovative, versatile and energetic. All of this is topped off with some of the most passionate trainers I know.”<\/em><\/p>\n
