LISS OR HIIT

Low Intensity Steady State

Pros

• Better for those new to exercise
• Better for those recovering from injury
• Can target fat cells as fuel source through oxidation
• Easier on recovery
• Easier program to stick to

Cons

• The body will adapt to the low intensity so just like weight training it will need adjustments.
• When LISS training is removed, the body may restore the lost weight.
• Once finishing a LISS session, the body will revert burning calories at the normal metabolic rate.

 

High Intensity Interval Training

Pros

• Time saving – Only 15-20 mins
• 20 minutes HIIT = 45 minutes LISS
• Speed changes make it harder for the body to adapt and provides more variable difficulties
• Continues to keep metabolism high once session is over

Cons

• Takes a lot of energy
• Cannot be done every day
• Can cause injury if not thoroughly warmed up
• Not recommended for those new to exercise or with injuries

Buzz Gym looking to expand nationwide

Buzz Gym currently have sites in Reading, Swindon and Slough and are looking to expand nationwide.

Owner Adam Stowell comments; “Our concept is all about creating a buzz and not just another boring gym. We are shaking up the market further by combining the service and quality of product you would expect at a boutique gym, with the affordability and convenience of a budget gym. For £19.99 Buzz Gym offer 24 hour access, over 200 stations of state of the art equipment, fully loaded Olympic lifting and strength zones and over 400 free classes per month!”

The budget gym model maximises membership numbers over the available floor space, extends opening hours and minimises operational costs, particularly wages, whilst providing access to high quality equipment for a low monthly cost and with flexibility over membership.

Ticking all those boxes leads to member retention and this has been one of the key factors behind the success.
