When you’re exercising to manage your weight, calorie burn becomes almost as important as the number on the scales. Here we’ve selected four of the best gyms in Manchester for calorie burn per session, and it’s no surprise they all offer some variation on a HIIT-style workout. Combining high intensity intervals with lower intensity active recovery, this kind of class has been shown to be up to 30% more effective than running, weight training and cycling at burning calories.
All of these Manchester gyms claim you can burn up to 750 calories per session depending on your bodyweight and the effort you put in (some claim up to 1,000). All we know is if you consistently do two or three of these sessions a week, you’ll soon start to see and feel the results.
For more recommendations from Confidential Guides for high-intensity workouts, search for HIIT classes.

More detailsV1BE by Lifestyle Fitness Mosley Street is an edgier, and dare we say cooler, gym than what you might expect from this nationwide chain. Partly it’s in the industrial, neon-lit design, and partly it’s in the V1BE class concept.
