Try a new fitness concept at Fitness First. 6D training is a results-driven, 30-minute HIIT programme based on six dimensions of fitness: move, lift, core, burn, function and recover and features six stations, each focusing on particular movements that target specific muscle groups and drive up the heart rate for 45 seconds, with a 15 second rest. Members rotate from station to station throughout the 30-minute class and can burn up to 600 calories. There will be a new programme every two weeks to keep the classes varied and target the whole body. Available at all Fitness First clubs in the UAE, find venues, membership pricing and class timetable at uae.fitnessfirstme.com
