SAFETY
Piloxing, being a fusion of standing Pilates, Boxing and Dance, is a strenuous training regime. The 60-minutes high-intensity interval training will push us to our limits! As such, do ensure to have at least 7 hours of uninterrupted rest the night before as well as hydrate yourselves adequately before the workout.
