Bench Burn
An intense workout that increases fat burning and muscular endurance through high-tempo exercises on the bench.
Bench Burn is an intense 30-minute fat-burning class combining high-tempo strength and cardio movements on a step/bench platform. Its 07:15 morning session in O’Hiit Studio is an energetic way to start the day.
Class structure: a short dynamic warm-up, a lower-body series on the bench (step-up, bulgarian split squat, box jump), an upper-body and core series (incline push-up, dips, mountain climber), an interval finisher and stretching.
Short and high in intensity, Bench Burn is the favourite morning class of members who like to train before work.

For first-timers
- As it is a morning class, do not skip the warm-up — your joints are cold.
- A step-up is always a valid alternative to a box jump.
- Arriving at 07:05 for the 07:15 class lets you settle in without interrupting the flow.
