OUR THOUGHTS

If the idea of dance cardio makes you feel self-conscious, don’t. This class is a total judgement free zone, and it cannot be stressed enough what a fun workout 305 Cardio is. Between the live DJ, strobe lights, and instructor hyping you up the entire class, it’s easy to forget that you’re actually there for a workout and not just the party.

The way the class is set up is that the instructor moves to the sound of the music and the class follows in real time. Monkey see, monkey do style. Since the moves are to the sound of the beat, it goes very fast. You have to watch the instructor and just copy what they do. To be honest, we love it because it takes the pressure off of doing things perfectly because the entire class is just trying to keep up.

Class starts with basic moves like jumping jacks and grapevines, but with some added style and pizzazz. Roughly halfway through class, everyone will grab weights and do a section of weights while waiting for heart rates to go back to normal. Then, you’ll dance it out for the rest of class. And yes, there will be some twerking involved.

At the end of the day, this spot is a good, sweaty time that will give you an instant endorphin spike. It’s definitely a class worth trying!
