METAFIT- is a 30-minute, bodyweight-only, non-choreographed, high-intensity interval training
(HIIT) workout. The program was created over a decade ago in the UK by a Royal Marine
Commando in a bid to make HIIT more efficient and effective. How so? By reducing the amount
of time spent looking at a stopwatch or app, and increasing the focus on client technique, range
of motion and intensity (true HIIT) – and making modifications when necessary.
The Metafit training approach sees clients working at a maximum intensity (HRMax above 90
percent) during short work intervals to utilize the ATP-PC (adenosine triphosphate and
phosphocreatine) and anaerobic energy sources, and then having adequate rest through static
and active recovery to replenish these energy sources for the greatest aerobic metabolism
boost after the workout.

Many HIIT-style workouts do not promote enough intensity for the workout to be termed HIIT,
whether that’s due to movement quality, interval programming, exercise formatting or workout
length. Metafit aims to stick to true HIIT principles without venturing too far outside the high-
intensity interval scope. Because this is partly dependent on the knowledge and delivery of a
professional trainer, Metafit is a certified coach-led workout only, we will never be a DVD,
virtual or workout app.

After completing a one-day Metafit certification, coaches receive monthly workouts, with
license-free music/voice commands, marketing resources and videos. All Metafit workouts –
and there are over 100 of them – have their own title branding, format and exercises and vary
in length between 16 and 25 minutes. Preparation warm-ups and modification teaching
principles are designed to enable coaches to deliver safe and effective HIIT workouts to clients
of all ages and abilities.

There are no facility license fees, and coaches can use Metafit inside or outdoors, in studio or
gym timetabled classes as well as in private 1-on-1 sessions.
