WEXER EXPANDS VIRTUAL CLASSES
MOSSA teams up with Xbox
American group fitness brand Body Training Systems – and its UK distributor Group X Systems – has changed its name to MOSSA and entered a four-year partnership with Microsoft. The new name MOSSA – Italian for ‘move’ or ‘excite’ – has been selected to echo the company’s tagline “Let’s Move!”
New updates from fitness fx
fitness fx has released new versions of its group exercise programmes. Latest releases include T3 (Train Track Transform) – a 30-minute, small group team training and PT offer designed to complement the established group exercise formats (except Groove fx). New fitness fx partners Will’s Fitness
in Shanghai and Beijing, China, and Jatomi Fitness in Turkey will take on the new versions, with other new partners also being established in Thailand, Malaysia, Russia and Greece.
The brand behind Group Power
and Group Step has been chosen to deliver video workout programmes for Xbox Fitness on Xbox One technology. MOSSA has created four different workouts for Xbox Fitness – Core Workout, Fight Workout, Groove Workout and Power Workout – to be delivered straight to users’ living rooms.

Global fitness group Zumba has launched its Zumba Step programme, with classes beginning this month in gyms and clubs. Zumba Step uses step aerobic variations and fitness movements set to global beats, targeting the glutes and legs for lower-body sculpting. It offers a balance of traditional fitness, dance and step aerobic moves to encourage participants to use more energy by lifting their body weight against gravity, while keeping the moves easy to follow. The choreography works with steps of any size, so gyms can make use of existing equipment.

Global fitness brand Les Mills – creator of group exercise programmes BODYPUMP, BODYATTACK, BODYCOMBAT and GRIT – will be the sole UK distributor for Smart Tech group exercise equipment, including the Smartbar, Smartstep and Bodybike. The Smartbar is designed for use in
BODYPUMP and other barbell classes, with its rotating ends and ergonomically designed plates relieving stress on wrists. The plates slide straight on with no need for clips, greatly reducing transition time. Meanwhile the Smartstep is for BODYSTEP and step classes, circuit training or the gym floor. Its lock-in system reduces slide on the floor. The Bodybike is designed to be low maintenance and stable for indoor cycling group workouts. The deal follows news in autumn 2013
that Reebok and Les Mills have teamed up in a partnership that aims to drive forward studio fitness programming.
