Getting started
Which class should you book?
Four classes, one question: what do you want from the next thirty minutes? A quick guide, and three sample weeks.
30 Flat · 1 October 2026 · 2 min read
Every 30 Flat class is half an hour and needs no equipment. What changes is what that half hour does for you.
The four classes
HIIT 30: hard intervals with short rests. You'll be properly out of breath. Every jump has a low-impact option, so you set the ceiling.
Strength 30: slow, controlled bodyweight work for legs, upper body and core. Steady rather than frantic, and harder than it sounds.
Low Impact 30: a full cardio session with no jumping. Quiet enough for a flat, kind to sore knees, and a good place to start after a break.
Stretch 30: mobility and stretching for hips, back and shoulders. For rest days, desk days and the day after a hard class.
Pick by what you want
- To get out of breath: HIIT 30, or Low Impact 30 if it needs to be quiet.
- To get stronger: Strength 30.
- To feel less stiff: Stretch 30.
- To ease back in after time off: Low Impact 30, then add Strength 30.
Or pick by how you feel today
- Lots of energy, short on time: HIIT 30.
- Tired, but want to move: Low Impact 30.
- Sore from yesterday: Stretch 30.
- Stressed: any of them. Thirty minutes of not thinking about anything else is half the point.
Three sample weeks
Starting out: three a week
- Monday: Low Impact 30
- Wednesday: Strength 30
- Saturday: Stretch 30
Building up: four a week
- Monday: Strength 30
- Tuesday: Low Impact 30
- Thursday: Strength 30
- Saturday: HIIT 30
All in: five a week
- Monday: Strength 30
- Tuesday: HIIT 30
- Wednesday: Low Impact 30
- Thursday: Strength 30
- Saturday: HIIT 30
Add a Stretch 30 on any rest day when you need one.
Three rules of thumb
- Space out the hard days. When you're starting out, leave a day between HIIT classes, and between strength classes, so the same muscles aren't working two days running.
- Mix it up. Strength twice a week plus some cardio covers what the health guidelines ask for. We go through the numbers in Is a 30-minute workout enough?
- Listen to your body. Easier versions of every move are always on screen. Taking one is training sensibly, not giving up.
