The lowdown: It's a fitness franchise from Australia that's more commonly known as 12RND Fitness back home. And naturally your mind goes through flashbacks of a session at F45. Well, not quite. UBX (verbalised as YOU-BOX) Training adapts a 12-round structure, each lasting three minutes with 30 seconds of rest in between. The bite is that there is no fixed timing for a class to start. Your session begins as soon as you get in (as each new round starts every three minutes), accompanied by a trainer who oversees the entire circuit with you from start to end. At every round or rather station, you'll get a mix of boxing, strength, and cardio exercises that have been designed by sports scientists to maximise the full 45-minute session. Workouts will change everyday and will progress from strength, cardio, core, if you're sticking around for a month. The very first Singapore outpost was compact yet spacious enough for all of the equipment to be displayed at their individual stations. Our coach, Nik, took us through the entire session, albeit a little haphazardly, which resulted in a little confusion during pair work as the seconds ticked by. I loved the variation of movements and the range of eqiupment that was available — from kettlebells to maize balls to weight sleds to rowers. Along the way, the coach constantly spots you to check your form, which I appreciated. I did wish my instructor could have been more engaging and sensitive when it came to our personal fitness stamina, just so he could have been there to recommend weights that were better suited for every individual. For the most part, he seemed impatient, which could be daunting for folks who have not worked out in a while.
