As in fashion, Trends also reign in sportswhich change depending on our favorite artists, what we see on social networks, the novelty of the exercises or their shocking results.
Since fitness came into our lives, back inIn the 80s, we stayed with aerobics; In the 90s, gyms began to become more popular, while group classes such as step and spin became fashionable; In 2000, we went crazy with extreme sports, such as ‘snowboarding’, although the trends of the nineties were still very present. During 2010, outdoor activities became our favoritessuch as yoga, running or cycling.
However, with our busy lives, What we are looking for is something that will get us in shape in a very short timewith short but intense classes. From there comes HIIT (high intensity training) or CrossFit, although leaving room for ‘mindfulness’ practices and leaving there with a relaxed mind and body.
On the other hand, trends have spoken and within these intense workouts, we opt for ‘barré’, ‘pilates reformer’, boxing, ‘cycling’ and yoga. We changed the gym for a more intimate environment and, why not say it, with more beautiful decoration. In recent months, new studios have been popping up all the time to go and practice our favorite sport and these have become the new fashionable places.
Barrelatte
Although it opened in September, we cannot lose sight of Barrelatte, the first center in the world to offer barré and pilates classes accompanied by cosmetic appliances and ceremonial matcha at no additional cost to its users. The founder’s goal is to fuse sport, calm and well-being, so you can do your class and then enjoy your favorite drink while you relax with the infrared light masks (or telework, although we prefer the former), all in one same place.
Where is: Calle Bretón de los Herreros, 26, Madrid.
SolidStudio
Although Pilates had a big ‘boom’ in the 2000s, it is now experiencing a rebirth with the pilates reformer, a type of this sport that is performed on a bed with a mobile platform that slides on rails and has springs, straps and other accessories to add resistance and work the body more. This machine was designed by Joseph Pilates himself and those who have tried it promise that it has transformed their figure. In SolidStudio introduce a new perspective of pilates reformer in Madrid, offering a high intensity, low impact training. In this study they work on strength, resistance and flexibility with their special machines for 50 minutes and ensure that we can burn up to 600 kcal per session.
Where is: Barceló street, 15, in Madrid.
Gaia Yoga Studio
Yoga has made a name for itself in big cities, with studios that transport you to Rishikesh, the capital of this discipline. One of them is Gaïa, a holistic study where mental, physical and emotional health is addressed comprehensively. There they seek a deep transformation through various practices, all designed to harmonize body, mind and spirit, since they think that true health is found in the balance of these three aspects.
Where is: 47 Fortuny Street, Local 2, in Madrid.
B3B
We might prefer a women-only space, that’s B3B, a women-only ’boutique studio’ that has developed a unique high-intensity method that combines cycle, boxing and barre in 45 minutes supported by ‘mindfulness’ and ’empowerment’ techniques to give our best. Each block is 15 minutes, the objective of which is to burn fat, tighten the body and define the figure.
Where is: in Madrid We find it at Ayala 54, Paseo General MartÃnez Campos 20 and Pedro Muguruza 5. In Barcelona They have opened in Eixample, Calle de València, 335.
Clandestinemood
Combine party and sportAt first, it seems impossible, however, Clandestinemood makes it possible. This new concept created by Tammy Ibán has seduced the fittest girls in Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Ibiza, Miami and New York, creating an alternative to traditional sporting events for women. However, this is not their only attraction, since they are made in totally secret and unrepeatable locations that are not revealed until 24 hours before. Their events usually include an exercise class and snacks with music afterwards, although sometimes they also give away a gift from their sponsors.
