Yes, these are a real thing. If ballroom dancing isn\u2019t your thing, then twerking classes might be. They are a surefire way to work up a sweat and get your heart-rate racing, and you learn how to twerk alongside a mixture of other dance moves \u2013 making for a super energetic session which leaves you not only feeling fantastic, but with a new set of moves for Saturday night!<\/p>\n

2. Cat Yoga<\/h2>\n

Sweeping its way through California is the latest trend in the Instagram yoga craze: cat yoga. And honestly, we can\u2019t see anything wrong with this idea. Love cats? Check. Love yoga? Check. Want to get super fit via a combination of everything we love? Um, yes please! Although be prepared, the cats will almost always be better at the yoga than you will be.<\/p>\n

3. Bungee Dance<\/h2>\n

Pretty much as close as we\u2019re going to get to learning how to fly, bungee dance classes are a new kind of workout where you\u2019re attached to the ceiling via a bungee. Moving around is both more difficult \u2013 hello, toned muscles \u2013 but also easier, when the rebound gives you an extra boost. More fun than hardcore exercise, this is a workout that\u2019s perfect for anyone who doesn\u2019t actually like the idea of working out.<\/p>\n

4. Hula Hoop Classes<\/h2>\n

Remember this from your younger years? Tuns out your honed hula-hooping skills might actually come in useful to help you stay fit nowadays. Hula hoop classes are an energetic way to really tone your core muscles, leaving you with an impressive party trick at the end. A lot of the classes teach you tricks like \u2018vortexes\u2019 and \u2018body rolls\u2019, which certainly sound impressive.<\/p>\n

5. Mermaid Fitness<\/h2>\n

If you consider yourself a Disney princess, Mermaid Fitness might be the missing piece to your workout puzzle. That said, the workout isn\u2019t easy. Be prepared to tackle a mixture of pilates, barre and yoga alongside what is described as the \u201cfluid cardio-fun of a deep-water aquatic experience\u201d. To summarise, you\u2019ll be wearing a mermaid fin and working out under water (so make sure you can swim and that you\u2019re super comfortable in water before you take on this class)!<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0LazRfit<\/h2>\n

This might just be our favourite workout so far. LazRFit combines a competitive spirit and love of games to create the perfect fitness tool: cardio-heavy laser tag. Each class has a warm up session before you head right in for a laser tag game, in teams, designed to really get you sweating. Once you finish, thanks to top quality equipment that does more than just fire lasers at your opponents, you can check all of your data from the workout including your calories, steps and speed.<\/p>\n

7. Boogie Bounce<\/h2>\n

As Boogie Bounce state, \u201ceveryone loves to bounce\u201d. This is what\u2019s behind the trampoline fitness movement that\u2019s all about jumping your way into shape. The technique combines HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) moves with small, controlled movements \u2013 no flips, unfortunately \u2013 to create a fat-burning, cardio heavy workout. Depending on your experience level \u2013 or enthusiasm \u2013 you can get different classes, from kids and beginner sessions to extreme.<\/p>\n

8. Rave Dance Workouts<\/h2>\n

Ever felt like a night out of dancing should definitely count as a full-body workout? You\u2019re in luck! One of the newest fitness trends slowly spreading across the globe is rave dance workouts. Raves, held in darkened rooms with loud music and often glow-sticks (definitely clubbing vibes) are held in the mornings or throughout the day so you really can dance your way to a fit and healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re not sure about you, but we think some of these weird workout classes definitely sound like they\u2019re worth a go, especially if you\u2019re looking to switch up your fitness routine. Time to wave goodbye to your traditional gym membership! What fitness trends do you want to try? What fitness trends do you suggest? Tell us in the comments!<\/h5>\n
