Prime Zone Training
Your coach will guide you through the 5 different heart rate zones: Recover, Endurance, Aerobic, Prime’, and max, telling you when to push harder and when to pull back for recovery.
Classes available 2021
Tuesday/Thursday: 6:00-7:00am
Heart Rate Zone 1
50-60% of HRmax. : Recovery (Grey)
70-80% of HRmax. : Aerobic (Green)
60-70% of HRmax. : Endurance (Blue)
80-90% of HRmax. : Prime’ (Orange)
90-100% of HRmax. : Max (Red)
Depending on the class, the goal is to spend 10-25 minutes with your heart rate elevated in ‘The Prime’ Zone’. This Prime’ zone is going to burn more fat, scorch off calories, boost your metabolism, and keep you burning calories long after the session is done.

24/7 access to your results, after each workout you will be emailed a session summary report, allowing you to track your performance and crush new goals.
Class Types
Goal : Training in the class will improve your general endurance: your body will get better at oxidizing – burning – fat and your muscular fitness will increase along with your capillary density.
Key Characteristics:
i. HR in the Blue to Green Zone, with a goal of Prime’ zone for 10-12 minutes.
ii. Longer times and distances on the cardio machines.
iii. Strength: higher reps with lighter weights will be the emphasis, as well as slower more controlled tempos.
Strength: Exercises intended to develop strength & power
Blue Zone (35%)
Green Zone (55%)
Prime’ Zone (10%)
Goal of Green Zone: This is the zone in which that pesky lactic acid starts building up in your bloodstream; therefore training in this zone allows your body to increase its efficiency of clearing, and dealing with lactic acid.
Goal of Orange (Prime’) Zone: improve your speed endurance. Training in this zone will optimize your body to utilize carbohydrates for energy and train your body to withstand higher levels of lactic acid in your blood for longer.
Key Characteristics:
i. HR should fluctuate between the green zone and orange zone. With a goal of Prime’ zone for 15-20 minutes.
ii. Harder intervals will be followed by lighter intervals to ensure flipping between your Aerobic and Anaerobic energy systems. This flipping back and forth will shift your lactic threshold right, to a higher heart rate. Producing lactic acid at higher heart rate is very beneficial as you are able to stay in your aerobic system for longer.
