02 TRY: HIGH ALTITUDE TRAINING

Where: Talise Fitness, Madinat Jumeirah

What is it? Perfect for those who have dreamed of tackling Kilimanjaro or Machu Picchu but can’t really be bothered with all that pesky organisation. Referred to as ‘ legal doping’ because of its ability to boost oxygen carrying red blood cells, altitude training has moved from the domain of elite athletes to the average Joe. It increases heart and breathing rates, meaning muscles have to work harder. A 45-minute session is equal in cardio terms to a normal 90-minute workout. That’s a 2-4-1 offer we can definitely get on board with.

In short: Thinning the air to help you hit new fitness heights.
