6 Fun Workouts to Try if You’re Bored of Your Winter Routine

If winter’s monotonous workout grind has left you uninspired, it’s time to shake things up. Spring is the perfect season to refresh not only your wardrobe but also your fitness routine. From celebrity-approved boxing classes to cutting-edge infrared fitness, these six fun and exciting workouts will reignite your passion for movement while delivering serious results.

1. Rumble Boxing

When a workout has A-listers like Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Kevin Hart as loyal fans, you know it has to be top-tier. Rumble Boxing is the fitness phenomenon taking Australia by storm, with locations sprouting up across the country. But it’s not just the celebrity allure that makes Rumble so popular–it’s the experience.

Imagine 45 minutes of pure adrenaline as you alternate between boxing on aqua-filled teardrop bags and strength training. Each session is broken into 10, 3-minute rounds, set to custom playlists that turn the class into a high-energy party.

Rumble’s fast-paced rounds build muscle, improve coordination, and torch calories, leaving you drenched in sweat and buzzing with endorphins. It’s a full-body workout with knockout results, both physically and mentally.

2. Club Pilates

If the thought of lifting heavy weights in a gym makes you cringe, Club Pilates offers a more refined approach to strength training. Originating from San Diego and now making waves in Australia, this workout combines traditional Pilates with innovative equipment like Exo Chairs, Suspension Straps and ballet bars to keep things interesting and effective.

While Club Pilates has attracted the likes of NFL stars and elite level gymnasts, its ethos is that pilates is for everyBODY. In fact, it is particularly beneficial for people 40 years and older. It is essential for women to maintain bone density in their perimenopausal season. Club Pilates is perfect for those looking to not only maintain bone density, but improve flexibility and boost strength without the wear and tear of high-impact exercises.

With nine class styles and four levels of intensity, there’s a session for everyone, whether you’re easing back into fitness or looking to elevate your Pilates game. The blue-lit studios and upbeat music set the stage for a lively, community-centred vibe, making every workout feel like an event.

3. CycleBar

Why settle for a regular spin class when you could have a full-on fitness rave? CycleBar is more than just indoor cycling–it’s an immersive experience that combines heart-pounding music, synchronised lights, and motivational instructors who double as DJs. It’s the party you never knew you needed to push yourself to new limits.

CycleBar’s inclusive, low-impact classes make it ideal for all fitness levels. The darkly lit studio helps you leave any self-consciousness at the door and fully engage with the ride. You’ll leave each session feeling euphoric, thanks to the rush of endorphins and the satisfaction of smashing your fitness goals. And for the goal crushing enthusiast, CycleBar offers CycleStats.

This feature captures six crucial performance metrics during each session, offering real-time insights into your progress. After every ride, you’ll get a personalised email with a detailed breakdown, keeping you inspired and on track with all of your fitness goals. 

4. Joy. In. Movement (J.I.M)

What if you could burn more calories in 30 minutes than you do in a traditional 50-minute workout? J.I.M (Joy. In. Movement) makes this possible with its groundbreaking fusion of infrared technology, Pilates, and functional training. Already a hit in the US, this concept has now landed in Australia, and it’s quickly becoming a must-try for fitness enthusiasts and newbies alike.

J.I.M studios are super dark, with no mirrors, creating a judgement-free zone where you can focus purely on your workout. Biohackers eat your heart out! The infrared heat enhances your workout by boosting metabolism, improving circulation, and helping your muscles recover faster. It’s a time-efficient, stress-relieving workout that offers transformative results.

5. Hot Pilates

Ready to turn up the heat? Flow Athletic in Paddington has introduced Heated Reformer Pilates, a class that brings the sweat-inducing benefits of hot yoga to the reformer bed. Practised in a room heated to 30 degrees Celsius, this class helps increase flexibility, promotes detoxification through sweating, and adds an extra layer of intensity to your usual Pilates practice.

This slow, steady flow not only strengthens your muscles but also improves your mental focus as you work through each movement. The heated environment pushes you to dig deeper into stretches and movements, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalised.

6. Vitruvian Trainer+

For those who prefer working out at home, the Vitruvian Trainer+ is a game-changer. This sleek, AI-powered fitness device allows you to do thousands of resistance exercises, with up to 200 kg resistance, without needing bulky equipment.

The unit is composed of a sleek carbon-fibre platform that slides easily under any bed. It’s the ultimate space-saving home gym that adjusts the resistance in real time, giving you a highly personalised workout experience.

Vitruvian’s patented technology offers over 200 exercises and goal-oriented programs, guided by elite trainers through the Vitruvian app. Whether you’re aiming to build strength or just stay fit, the Vitruvian Trainer+ makes it easy to fit an efficient workout into even the busiest lifestyle.

Why settle for a boring workout when you can spice up your routine with one of these exciting options? From boxing like a celebrity at Rumble to enjoying the futuristic infrared benefits at J.I.M, there’s something here for everyone. Level up your routine this spring and challenge yourself with something new–you’ll not only stay fit but also rediscover the joy in every sweat session.
