\nFitness works a lot like fashion: one minute a class is \u201cin\u201d the next, it\u2019s \u201cout.\u201d Case in p0nt: step class. Thankfully, there\u2019s a lot in vogue this year, from fancy fusion classes to back-to-basics moves that rely not on fancy equipment but on your own body weight. So jump on board and shake up your New Year with these new and improved calorie-torchers. You\u2019ll be glad you did!<\/p>\n

1. Back to Basics<\/strong>
\nYes, gym class staples like situps, pushups and pullups are cool again! These no-frills moves don\u2019t require any equipment (they mostly use your body weight), can be done anywhere and they\u2019ll kick your butt!
\nTry it at Amenzone<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Free Fitness<\/strong>
\nGet your sweat on for free! That\u2019s right, between freebie yoga classes, gratis run clubs and cost-free cross-fit, the Valley has plenty of no-pay ways to workout. Plus, Groupon and Living Social run tons of gym deals for wallet-wise ways to work up a sweat.
\nTry it at Lululemon Biltmore<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Interval Training<\/strong>
\nAlternating bouts of intense activity with lighter activity is \u201cin\u201d because it works. You\u2019ll burn more fat and calories, up your aerobic capacity, boost your metabolism and lose weight. What\u2019s not to love?
\nTry it at CrossFit 480<\/a> or FIIT Training Center<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Niche Gyms<\/strong>
\nQuaint boutique gyms are popping up all over the Valley. These smaller, specialized spaces range from tranquil mind-body studios to workout rooms packed with specialized equipment and instruction.
\nTry it at Orangetheory Fitness<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Fusion classes<\/strong>
\nPeople want to squeeze more in in less time. The answer: multitasking combo classes. So instead of doing just<\/i> spin or just<\/i> Pilates, you can do spinlates\u2026 or yogalates\u2026 or Brazilian Barre<\/a>. Fancy!
\nTry Piloxing at IMX Pilates Studio<\/a> or Mountainside Fitness<\/a><\/p>\n

6. Small Group Training<\/strong>
\nOne-on-one personal training isn\u2019t going anywhere, but one trainer instructing a group of four to 10 is exploding. Intimate and interactive classes like TRX suspension training, ViPR and Kinesis give you the personalized attention of personal training (for cheap) plus the motivation and camaraderie that goes with a group.
\nTry Kinesis at The Village<\/a><\/p>\n

7. Fun Fitness<\/strong>
\nGyms are taking the \u201cwork\u201d out of workout (thank goodness!). Yes, you\u2019re still blasting calories, but you\u2019re having a blast doing it thanks to a light-hearted mood and pulse-pounding music (think Zumba). It is just exercise, after all\u2026 no need to take yourself too seriously.
\nTry \u201cBounce it Off!\u201d at The Village Camelback<\/a><\/p>\n
