24 Hour Fitness announced the launch of two new Modus group fitness classes concentrating on improved recovery, physical resilience, and quality of life as we age. Modus, 24 Hour Fitness’ umbrella program for all group fitness formats now features Modus Mobility, with content centered on active recovery and range of motion to build athletic performance, while Modus Move will focus on stability, neuromuscular activation, and everyday athletic skills on a platform built around sport and gameplay. Both classes represent a “prehab” approach to physical function: enhancing overall fitness to prevent injuries before they occur, all in a small group setting. “These classes have been meticulously designed around the latest scientific research to deliver real change to our members,” says Mike Heim, head of programming and education at 24 Hour Fitness. “Longevity training or ‘fitness for life’ is an area that is far too underserved in Group Exercise — but it’s incredibly important to us at 24 Hour Fitness. Having both of these programs helps our members get the sort of fitness benefits they can enjoy today and for the rest of their lives.”
Initially, Modus Move and Mobility will be in 90 24 Hour Fitness clubs with an eventual rollout to 150 clubs by end of year. Move and Mobility will be available to current 24 Hour Fitness members at clubs offering Modus classes, as well as to all members anytime, anywhere via the 24GO app. These programs are held in small group settings with no more than 16 people in order to create a strong, individual connection between members and the coaches that lead them. To avoid repetition, Move and Mobility are built on an eight week cycle with milestone checks and challenges to mark progress and improvement. Participants can enter into the cycle at any time, making for a welcoming, versatile, and ready-made program for any level of fitness at any age.
