Epic Hybrid Training – Miami

I don’t do many reviews, maybe like two, unless I feel strongly about something. This place is Awesome! Just awesome! I though it was going to be impossible and cliquey for athletes but it’s the complete opposite. Whether you’re a beginner (like me) or advanced, Epic will definitely challenge you. They have a changing routine so you’re never bored and different exercise levels for different fitness levels. All the trainers are super encouraging and will help you out and make sure you’re doing the moves right. I’m not a fitness-​sy person and I’ve become addicted. They really motivate you to try harder each time and get better. And as far as the overall environment, everyone I’ve met here has been friendly and helpful. I beyond recommend this place for both beginners and advanced athletes. This is one of those places that no one regrets trying out and everyone wants to stay.

Epic Hybrid is a great exercise experience with knowledgeable coaches who really care. They provide a fun atmosphere that motivates you to work hard with workouts which can be modified for all levels. Each coach brings a unique style and energy and each type of workout challenges your body in different ways. Big love to these guys and thank you to to Beaver Weafer for getting me started.

I have to be honest this place really intimidated me at first! I thought it was like a crossfit kind of thing filled with things that are way beyond my level… Well, it was filled with things that I could barely do… but I didn’t feel embarrassed about it, and it’s not like crossfit where you lift unnecessarily heavy weights and pretty much ruin your back (no offense crossfit lovers).
I went to the obstacle class on Friday as my first class and it was cool! Really fun, I’ve never done anything like it, so it was challenging, but everyone has to start somewhere. I couldn’t do most of the things that some people were doing, but luckily they had levels. So I was level one, so for example on the rope climb instead of climbing up the rope I only laid down, climbed up half way until I was standing, and then back down. It’s a way to get used to the rope while still building upper body strength to hopefully climb it completely one day!
Thankfully the instructor and even the clients are very nice and encouraging so I’m definitely going to be coming back. I hope to one day climb that rope!

Finally a good circuit training workout in Miami. This place is the real deal run by legit athletes that know what they’re doing. They are helping me not only get into shape but encouraging me to live a cleaner lifestyle. It helps that they’re all quite easy on the eyes as well.

Used to hit to the gym 3 or 4 times a week and lift weights or run in the treadmill on my own but how long can you do that without hitting a plateau?
Epic is basically the opposite of that. You get different hybrid workouts every day, awesome trainers & a culture of like-​minded people pushing themselves to be their best. I’ve been going there since it opened & guess what? I dig. Better & safer than Crossfit? By a long shot.

I first started attending Epic Hybrid Training at the New York locations, when I moved to Miami I was thrilled to hear they did as well. Epic is a circuit based class with a different focus for each day of the week. The eight exercise circuit is challenging but changes frequently to keep it interesting. All of the instructors are great. They each take the time to learn your name and push you throughout the workout, often offering modifications or advice on technique for each exercise. I would highly suggest checking EPIC out if you’re looking for a new and challenging class in the Brickell/​Downtown area.

I’ve been dreaming of a solid circuit training workout in Miami and voila — god gave me Epic. This place wraps one all-​encompassing, killer full body workout into one neat and very manageable 45-​minute package.
I’ve been to two classes so far — Tone & Power and EOC (Epic Obstacle Course) and loved them both. After a brief warm-​up, the teacher goes through a series of exercises, each to be completed in 40-​second intervals. The best part, for me, is that there’s no time to get bored as the movements are constantly changing. 40 seconds of rope climbs quickly transition into 40 seconds of sand bag squats, before lateral pulls, kettle bell raises and so forth. You’re literally done with the exercise before you even realize you started it. Like magic!
You complete the circuit 3 – 4 times, depending on the class — they’re all different. And by the time the cool down hits, your body feels like it’s already morphing into a more satisfying shape.
In short, I love how I feel after I leave this place and am thankful to ClassPass for yet another fab studio find. For anyone that’s not on ClassPass, the first class here is free — there’s no excuse not to try.
