This dance-inspired workout comes to Tel Aviv by way of Miami. After completing a teacher training in the USA, instructor Ava Szilagi has opened a pop-up that takes place every Saturday at 19:30 at Dance Tel Aviv. As she continues to grow her following more classes will be offered. What sets 305 apart from other Zumba/dance-style workouts is that there’s a nightclub vibe (from the music to the lighting). Fun is the top priority here.

The "F" stands for functional and the 45 stands for the length of the classes. What is functional training? It’s basically a workout style incorporating exercises that mimic everyday movements – think ones that will help when you’re carrying groceries or going up flights of stairs. You’ll spend the class lifting, kicking, punching, pulling squatting, and more as you get your heart rate up via a mix of cardio and strength training. F45 started in Australia but now has countless studios all across America. They’re so big in fact they even teamed up with it athletic footwear brand APL (available at Liky’s) for three limited edition F45xAPL branded shoes. The mega-chain recently opened two studios in Tel Aviv and the first two classes are free.

While it doesn’t have the skin-flattering lighting you’ll find at rivals like Barry’s Bootcamp, Orangetheory does have a similar HITT-based format that combines weight/body weight training with cardio via running. The key difference is that Orangetheory, an American fitness franchise, uses heart rate-based interval training with intensity based on your own individual heart rate zones.
