BIIT Class Description
The BIIT (Barre Intensity Interval Training) class is based on variable intensity interval training. It is made up of set timed intervals that focus on higher intensity training for the cardiovascular system, blended with strength intervals that lower the heart rate but create that barre burn feeling in the muscles. Classic barre exercises along with standard functional fitness movement make up this well-rounded class. All exercises are low impact with optional higher impact variations for those who welcome them.
Why BIIT?
BIIT is easy to teach. Since it is a time-based workout, you never have to worry about counting reps. You can choreograph your BIIT class in a short amount of time because circuits repeat. This means less choreography than a traditional barre class. The quick recovery between intervals gives you time to preview what’s coming next; this removes the challenge of teaching with seamless transitions. BIIT is also fun to take. Circuits repeat so participants can layer in more if/when they feel comfortable. The entire body is challenged in a BIIT workout, cardiovascular training is incorporated and it’s a faster-paced format that makes time fly.

Mica started her career in the fitness industry at the age of 16. She was an athlete growing up and group fitness was just another way to keep her moving. She fell in love with group fitness as a participant and then received her first certification so she could be an intern instructor. She quickly learned the amount of outside work and practice that went in to teaching classes but also learned that the reward was worth it. Making a positive impact on the lives of participants filled her heart with joy.
