INSANITY®, the most intense, at-home fitness program on the market, has become a mainstay in gyms and health clubs nationwide. Today, INSANITY celebrates its one-year anniversary in commercial fitness. We are also pleased to announce the launch of INSANITY into gyms in the United Kingdom.

Surpassing 6,000 certified instructors, INSANITY is the most popular, in-demand class in gyms and health clubs across the country. Consistently rated among the top group exercise classes, INSANITY provides owners and operators of leading health clubs and gyms the ultimate tool in customer acquisition and retention by offering engaging, fun and effective workouts. The program also provides owners with INSANITY’s significant brand strength, allowing them to utilize its high-profile programming as a marketing platform to increase their facilities’ “wow” factor.

“The popularity and efficacy of INSANITY in the commercial fitness industry has been nothing short of amazing and we’re proud to celebrate a year’s worth of success,” said Shannon Pappas, SVP and General Manager, Beachbody LIVE. “The structure of INSANITY fits naturally within the group exercise model and has a strong mass appeal with both men and women. We knew it had a chance to thrive in the gym and health club settings and that certainly has been the case.”

INSANITY’s group exercise programming offers a revolutionary cardio-based, conditioning workout grounded in the principles of Shaun T’s MAX Interval Training.  By using MAX Interval Training, INSANITY pushes the participant to new training heights, resulting in more calories burned, faster results, and a more efficient metabolism. Designed to get heart pumping, fat-shredding results, INSANITY classes range from 30 to 50 minutes providing consumers scheduling flexibility.

INSANITY Certification for instructors consists of a one-day, eight-hour workshop to teach an exclusive INSANITY workout from start to finish, including all modifications.  The workshop provides the practical knowledge and foundation necessary for instructors to lead members in an engaging, results-driven group exercise format and earn Continuing Education Credits (CEC) from ACE and AFAA.

Workshops are $249 and instructors can secure on-going support by joining INSANITY Pro Team. To keep INSANITY Certified instructors at the top of their game, they can sign up for INSANITY Pro Team at INSANITYLIVE.com.  Certified instructors will pay a monthly subscription to gain access to new workouts, the hottest music with built-in instructor cues, marketing tools, online content from celebrity trainers and experts in fitness, health and nutrition, premium listing in “find an INSANITY instructor” search along with other perks. INSANITY LIVE is constantly seeking new and innovative ways to give instructors the education and resources to raise the bar and keep classes filled and challenged.
