5 Reasons Why Fast Track℠ Can Help You Get In Shape
The term “bootcamp” can make some people nervous or make them hesitant in training but X3 Sports gives “bootcamp” a whole new meaning! With our specialty designed class named Fast Track℠, not only are you training at a high level, you’re burning calories, building confidence, and pushing yourself to the next level through our unique mixture of cardio and resistance training. Here’s why!
Burn Those Calories
Moving constantly, you will definitely burn off serious calories. By doing high intensity intervals of strength training, mixed with bursts of cardio, gives you a total body workout and torches fat. Expect to burn between 500 to 600 calories during a 55 minute session.
Cardio and Weights
Classes incorporate circuit training and cardio using a variety of equipment like agility ladders, medicine balls, kettle bells, ploy boxes, and resistance bands. In 55 minutes, you’re getting your cardio fix as well as toning your muscles with strength training. That’s a plus for those who dread doing cardio!
Cardio is more effective than weight training at decreasing body fat if you do more than 150 minutes per week. Weight training is better than cardio for building muscle. A combination of cardio and weights may be best for improving your body composition, especially when combined with appetite suppressants as part of your diet.
Building Your Confidence
Once you finish your first class clothes drenched in sweat, heart pounding, and fatigued muscles, you’ll get that burst of energy and confidence when you realize what you accomplished. Getting through a challenging workout builds confidence and self esteem!
There is No “I Can’t”
Bootcamp classes push you past your mental or physical block. It’s a benefit to have someone telling you to fight through what you feel is impossible. Some of us need that extra push and the instructors are there to help you bring out your inner warrior. Bootcamp teaches you discipline. Each class turns into a supportive team effort.
Never a Dull Moment
It’s easy to get bored with your daily fitness routine. A bootcamp workout is never boring because you never know what to expect. Each class is different and you’re constantly moving between exercises, leaving no time for thoughts about how much time is remaining. Before you know it, you’re done and very, very sweaty.

Why You Should Add Boxing To Your Workout Regimen
We’ve all been scrolling through social media and seen a favorite celeb throwing punches at a boxing gym and wondered: is that really their preferred method of training? The answer is a resounding yes because boxing is a strength and cardio workout that burns calories faster than more static aerobic exercises.
We have good news for you: you don’t have to be a Hollywood star to train like a celebrity. Taught by some of the most qualified instructors in the Atlanta metro area, X3 Sports offers high-energy group boxing classes that will have you raving to all your friends and posting before and after shots on your own social feed.
If that’s not enough to convince you, perhaps these five perks will do the job:
1. You’ll Sculpt Every Muscle
Boxing improves a number of skills, including balance, coordination, reactivity, and agility. Your arms extend for each punch, engaging your entire body and specifically using your legs, traps, chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps, forearms and wrists. When you kick, you drive power from your hips and legs, working out your glutes and core.
As X3 Sports, we’ve designed well-rounded boxing workout regimen that mix intense conditioning training with fundamental technique – and we sandwich it all into an hour-long session! Do you want to try standard boxing training through a mix of heavy bag work, mitt drills and shadow boxing that teach you important self defense skills? Get in shape and learn to fight at X3 Sports’ five conveniently located Georgia gyms in Atlanta, Marietta and Athens.
2. You Are Burning Major Calories – Fast!
Boxing is considered high intensity interval training (HIIT) that improves your resting heart rate and boosts muscular endurance. Through bursts of maximum force in intervals, you’ll increase your endurance and stamina across all of your physical activities and burn calories faster than more traditional cardio workouts.
You can burn up to 900 calories in a single session, helping you to melt unwanted flab while building lean muscle. With regular practice, you’ll feel lighter and stronger after a few short weeks.
3. You’ll Find Stress-Relief Incredibly Gratifying
Bad day at work? Going through a breakup? Whatever it is that has you stressed, boxing will help to calm you down and reverse your mood. Boxing offers an incredibly healthy and productive way to take out your aggression and let go of tension. The rush of endorphins you’ll get from hitting heavy bags and sparring with opponents will make you feel exhilarating and happier – and the mental perks don’t stop there! Boxing builds confidence and discipline that will apply to all aspects of your life.
4. You Never Stop Learning
It’s easy for your fitness routine to become repetitive, but boxing will keep you on your toes. With so many carefully placed punches, kicks and footwork, this combat sport requires complete focus, which makes the class time fly by. And unlike treadmill jogging, there’s always something new to learn, or a new opponent to spar.
At X3 Sports, our classes feature constant variety, which keeps your muscles toned and gives you incentive to keep training. If you’re a beginner, our trainers will take time in class to teach you on a one-on-one basis about the correct form so that you can practice safely and effectively without causing harm to your bones and joints.
5. You’ll Have So Much Fun!
Boxing classes are so much fun! If you normally dread going to the gym or find your antiquated routine boring or ineffective, boxing is the workout for you. In our high-energy group class setting, there’s endless interaction with our professional trainers and classmates who are working hard, like you, to achieve personal fitness goals.
With our world-class facilities and equipment, loud music blaring through the gym, and trainers creating constantly evolving sessions, you’ll always feel mentally and physically challenged. With so many bang for your buck and opportunity for empowerment, we bet that boxing will become one of the activities you look forward to every single day.
