HIIT Workout Exercises at Training Day Gym
24 Hour Gym & Training Facility Located in Burwood & Clayton
HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training, which is a type of workout that goes from a period of maximal effort to periods of low intensity recovery periods.
HIIT workouts usually involve short bursts of intense exercise alternated with brief recovery periods. Compared to LISS workouts (low intensity steady state) such as a long distance run, HIIT workouts are designed to be challenging and efficient, typically lasting anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes and can be done using your own body weight or using weights.
At Training Day we offer a variety of HIIT workout classes at both our Burwood and Clayton locations.
Facilities at Training Day Gym
Cables N’ Things
You won’t be caught waiting to get some cable curls or tricep pushdowns here! On top of two big cable stations, we’ve added an extra tricep station on the end of it, so you can still do your cable flies when someone just wants to use one end for tricep pushdowns.
The Playground
This part of the gym is a heaven for weightlifters, powerlifters, and functional athletes. A turf track 15m in length. 5 designated weightlifting platforms, 2 carpet surfaced powerlifting platforms, 2 competition spec combo racks (not shown), 4 double cell squat rigs with monkey bars in between.
Squat Station
Rogue cages, calibrated steel plates, power bars, deadlift bars, GHRs and a whole lot of chalk; hell, we even have some Eleiko bars! We’re blessed with over 15 squatting stations at our Clayton gym.
Lift Zone
Tons of flooring had to be laid down to prepare our platforms for what your weight are about to do them! With facilities catering to both Weightlifting & Powerilfting; these areas will be loud and PR’s will be broken.
Machine Central
All of our bench presses are Australian made and have spotter arms (not shown in the render), so you can feel safe during those quiet hours where spotters aren’t easy to find. Most of our machines are Nautilus branded, with a few pieces of specialty machines such as the Pendulum squat, and the Glute drive.
Cardio Section
Startrac treadmills, Ellipticals, all kinds of bikes, and of course, the ultimate Stairmaster stair mills. Overlooking Princes Highway, you get reminded that you are in the gym making the progress that those people driving home are missing out on. Go you!
Bags N’ Group Zone
Sometimes you just need to hit something. These bags are here to keep you out of trouble. If that’s not fun enough for you. Our Boxfit classes are the most popular classes we have. On top of this, the floor in this group training zone is designed to handle weight dumping. It comes in handy in our Barbell Fit and Hiit classes where you simply don’t have the energy left to put the weights down softly. So you let the weights know how much you’re hurting!
Class Room
We run a variety of classes in this room, from Yoga, floor Pilates, to High Intensity Interval sessions. Take a look at the ‘Classes’ section to find out more. Two floor to ceiling windows in this room which looks out to Ferntree Gully Road. When classes are not running, this is another open training space for anything you want. Or just pose!
Barbells
This is probably what Training Day is known for more than anything else. Yes we have the highly sought after Swedish made Eleiko Barbells out on the gym floor for members to use. If you’re not familiar with what that is, a quick Google of their pricetags should indicate the cult. It doesn’t stop there, Rogue powerlifting and weightlifting bars, Comp spec combo racks, and your favourite carpet surfaced deadlifting platforms that we have to resurface regularly… but we get it, because training is life!
Calibrated Weights
CALIBRATED AND BUMPER PLATES For those who are asking: why are calibrated weight plates important? Here’s your answer: A regular weight plate, (like the ones most health and fitness gyms use) can vary up to 300g in weight per plate. Sure, that doesn’t sound like much, instead of bench pressing 20kg I’m doing 19.7kg. But let’s now imagine you are lifting 5 plates per side, training for your first competition. In total, that’s 3kg off the actual weight you think you’re lifting. You head off to competition thinking you’ve done this weight before, and on the day, it doesn’t move! Now you go searching for a gym with proper weight plates! We’ve saved you that painful experience.
Sunlighten Infrared Sauna
Speed up recovery, detoxification, relax, burn more calories, increase collagen production, the list goes on. This is such a great method to aid your recovery, especially if you’re training as hard as we think you are. If you haven’t tried, or don’t know what an infrared sauna is, don’t miss out any longer. Our infrared sauna in Clayton can be booked ” HERE ” on the website or phone us up.

- Lowering blood pressure and improving cardiovascular fitness

- Targeting all major muscle groups during a full body HIIT workout, or can be focus on upper body or lower body

- Can be tailored to your fitness level: HIIT workouts can be adjusted to match your fitness level, making them a great option for both beginners and advanced exercisers.
Overall, there are many HIIT training benefits, and is an effective way to burn calories and improve cardiovascular health.
HIIT For Weight Loss
Here are some ways a HIIT cardio workout can help with weight loss:
- Burns calories: A HIIT session can burn more calories than traditional cardio exercises because they involve short periods of maximum effort that increase your heart rate and metabolism. This means you stay in active recovery and continue burning calories even after the workout has ended.
- Increases muscle mass: HIIT exercises can help you build muscle, which in turn can boost your metabolism and help you burn more calories throughout the day.
- Improves insulin sensitivity: HIIT workouts can improve your body’s ability to use insulin, which can help regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes.
- Promotes fat loss: HIIT workouts can burn fat, making it an effective way to promote weight loss.
However, it’s important to note that weight loss is not just about exercise – diet and lifestyle habits also play a major role. So, while HIIT can be an effective tool for weight loss, it should be combined with a healthy diet and other healthy habits for best results.
HIIT Exercises List
There are many different exercises that can be used in a HIIT workout, and the exercises you choose will depend on your fitness level and personal preferences. HIIT workouts can use both bodyweight exercises and weighted training.
Here are some examples of HIIT exercises that you can incorporate into your routine:
- Burpees
- Jumping jacks
- Mountain climbers
- High knees
- Push ups
- Bicycle crunches
- Jump lunges
- Sprint intervals
- Battle ropes
These exercises can be performed for a set amount of time, such as 30 seconds, followed by a short rest period, such as 10 seconds, before moving on to the next exercise.
The duration and intensity of each interval can be adjusted to match your fitness level and goals. Remember to warm up before beginning your HIIT workout and cool down and stretch afterwards to prevent injury.
HIIT Beginner Workout Tips
It is also important to keep good form when performing each HIIT exercise to prevent injury.
For example;
- Battle ropes; keep in a squat position and feet hip width apart
- Push ups; keep legs straight and arms shoulder width apart
- To perform mountain climbers; stay in a high plank position and when the left knee bends, keep the right leg straight and visa versa
- Burpees; keep feet shoulder width apart and move from a standing position to a press up position
When starting HIIT training workouts, it is best to consult with a certified personal trainer to ensure that you are properly completing each exercise to avoid injuries.
HIIT Workout Plan
The frequency of a cardio HIIT workout in a plan can vary depending on individual goals, fitness levels, and overall health status. However, most experts recommend doing HIIT workouts 2-3 times per week to achieve maximum benefits without risking overtraining or injury.
It’s important to note that HIIT workouts are designed to be intense and challenging, so it’s essential to give your body enough time to recover between sessions. Also make time to do lower intensity exercise as a part of your plan to help your body recover, such as yoga or long distance running.
If you’re new to HIIT or have any underlying health conditions, it’s advisable to start slowly and gradually increase the frequency and intensity of your workouts in your plan.
