HIIT — Sled Push & Drag
Build fitness, strength and physical resilience through one of the simplest and most effective training tools in the gym: the sled.
SLED is our 45-minute team-based conditioning class built around loaded pushes, drags and resisted movement, combined with cardiovascular and accessory exercises to challenge your whole body.
The session is hard, highly adaptable and genuinely fun. Loads and work rates can be adjusted for beginners, while experienced members and athletes can still be pushed to a high level.
Whether you want to improve your conditioning, get stronger or simply add a different physical challenge to your training week, SLED delivers a serious training stimulus without relying on endless running or repetitive circuits.
Many of our developing and sub-elite athletes also use SLED to complement their sport conditioning and build additional work capacity.

Why athletes & everyday members love it
The most effective 45 minutes in your week
HIIT should be more than just getting tired. Push & Drag combines high-intensity conditioning, resistance and structured programming to build fitness, strength and work capacity.**
BUILD SERIOUS FITNESS
Short, high-intensity work periods challenge your conditioning and ability to recover between efforts. Work hard, recover, repeat — with every session structured to build your physical capacity.
STRENGTH UNDER FATIGUE
Push, drag and move resistance using sleds, prowlers and accessory exercises. Build lower-body strength and work capacity while learning to maintain quality movement under fatigue.
TRAIN HARD. TOGETHER
Push & Drag is a team-based class with music, coaching and shared intensity. You do the work at your level — but you never feel like you're doing it alone.

Frequently asked questions
The most common questions before your first HIIT class.
What is a HIIT class?
A HIIT class is a high-intensity interval training class — short bursts of intense work followed by brief rest. Our Push & Drag class typically runs 30–45 minutes built around sled pushes, drags, prowlers, bodyweight drills and team conditioning stations.
Heart rate stays elevated the entire session, which means more calories burned, more cardiovascular adaptation and a serious afterburn effect for hours after class.
Who should join the HIIT class?
HIIT is for almost everyone — beginners looking to lose weight, women and men wanting to get toned, athletes building work capacity, older adults staying conditioned. The class is scaled by your coach.
The good: burns a lot of calories quickly, big afterburn effect, you'll likely gain lean muscle, you'll feel more energised.
The caveat: intensity is higher than steady-state cardio — if you have a heart condition, are pregnant, or are recovering from injury, chat with your doctor and our coaches before starting.
How many HIIT classes should I do per week?
Most people get great results with 2–4 sessions per week. If you're new to HIIT, start with 2 per week for the first month, then build up. Pair HIIT with strength training and recovery work for the best outcomes — that's why our timetable mixes Push & Drag with Lift, Mobility and Mat Pilates.
How long is a class? How many calories will I burn?
Classes typically run 30–45 minutes. Beginners often burn 250–350 calories per session; experienced members can burn 400–600+. The exact number depends on your body, effort and conditioning — but the afterburn effect means you keep burning calories for hours after the class ends.
Does HIIT actually work for weight loss?
Yes. HIIT is one of the most time-efficient training methods for fat loss — alternating all-out efforts with low-intensity recovery burns more calories per minute than traditional cardio, and research shows a stronger appetite-suppression effect after sessions. Combined with sensible nutrition, Push & Drag is a powerful tool for body composition change.
Can I do HIIT if I'm pregnant?
Many expectant mothers continue HIIT with appropriate modifications, but it's essential to consult your doctor first and let our coaches know so loads, intensity and movement selection can be adjusted to protect you and your baby.
