College: a place where the possibility of gaining the freshman 15 while being on the ramen noodle budget overwhelms most. I have fallen in love with fitness classes ever since arriving here in Madison. While there are so many studios around every corner, it can be hard to figure out which are worth the price tag. But don’t fear! We have compiled a list of a week’s worth of free workouts in Madison, Wisconsin anyone can try
Monday: KAMPS
KAMPS fitness is a — HIIT— or high intensity interval training class. It is 50 minute class meant to kick ya in the butt. Half of the time is spent on the treadmills and the other half on the floor using weights targeting strength training. Each day is different which is great if you are tired of doing the same thing everyday. Also, Kamps offers new clients a free week of classes, so be sure to take advantage if you’re looking to change things up.
