Where to Have Group Workouts in Macau

group workouts macau

Whatever the type, group workouts carry a range of benefits such as diversity in your training, higher endorphin output than from exercising alone, and a sense of inspiration and motivation you receive from the like-minded people in a class. If you are not a big fan of lifting weights alone in a gym, check out our list of cool group workouts in Macau to attend. 

Train like an athlete at Life Project 

Who is a better figure to be inspired by on the journey to healthier and fitter you? Of course, a professional athlete. That is what Life Project training team thought and created a workout routine called “Train like an athlete”. Simply put, it is functional training that will help you to grow stronger and look better, but also make your body more resilient to injuries and improve your body’s daily moves. Even if you are not an athlete and don’t plan to become one, this training can make even routine chores, such as carrying grocery bags or moving boxes, much easier.  

Life Project’s class is anything but boring. Many fun exercises (squatting, crawling, jumping, carrying things) and various equipment are involved, such as Bulgarian bags, medicine balls, and free weights. 

Group classes at Life project are available for members. However, if you don’t own membership, you can still attend training with a day pass. Train like an athlete is a daily workout, check the timetable for details.

Stretching at MASS

While building your muscles or jogging, don’t forget about improving the flexibility as well. Generally, stretching should be an essential part of any workout. Stretch after a powerlifting session will help the muscles to recover, and your next-day muscle pain will be much more tolerable. The list of after-workout stretching is long! But it can be a full workout, as well. Especially if you are not sure where to start and need some guidance and better results, try attending a stretching class. There is no better place in the city for that than the Macao Association of Sports Stretching (MASS). 

MASS was founded by a certified trainer and stretch therapist, so here they now all about how to make your joints and muscles more flexible. They will show you how to do a full-body stretching and avoid injuries. If you don’t want a group session, feel free to choose a personal session instead. MASS also offers functional training. Check the details and register for a class online.
