HIIT Classes in First Hill
The Most Efficient Workout in the Neighborhood
First Hill - Seattle's Pill Hill - is filled with people whose days are already full: hospital staff between shifts, high-rise residents, students, and downtown professionals. Nobody here has a spare two hours for the gym.
That is exactly why HIIT fits. By alternating short bursts of hard effort with brief recovery, a high-intensity interval class delivers a complete cardio-and-strength workout in just 45 minutes and keeps your metabolism elevated for hours afterward.
Our studio is a quick walk or First Hill Streetcar ride away, and every class is led by a certified coach who scales the intensity to you. Go all-out or dial it back - either way, you leave having worked.

First Hill HIIT Class FAQs
What exactly is a HIIT class?
HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. You alternate short bursts of hard effort with brief recovery periods, which builds cardio fitness and strength efficiently. Our classes wrap that into a coached, 45-minute, full-body session.
Is HIIT okay for beginners?
Absolutely. Intensity is relative to you. Every movement has a scaled-down option, and your coach helps you find the right level. Plenty of our members did their first interval workout in one of these classes.
How often should I take HIIT classes?
For most people, two to three HIIT sessions a week with recovery days in between is a great rhythm. Your coach can help you build a schedule that suits your goals and fitness level.
Is HIIT hard on your joints?
It does not have to be. Our coaches offer low-impact modifications for every high-impact move, so you can keep the intensity up while being kind to your knees, hips, and back.
What should I bring and wear?
Bring water, a towel, supportive training shoes, and comfortable workout clothes. Arrive about 10 minutes early for your first class so your coach can get you set up.
Where are the classes relative to First Hill?
Our studio sits just north of First Hill in the Capitol Hill and Pike-Pine area, an easy walk or a short First Hill Streetcar ride from most of the neighborhood.
