How to prepare

Stay hydrated - sweating is part of the fun, but dehydration isn’t, so drink plenty of fluids beforehand and bring plenty with you.

What to wear - keep it light and keep it tight too if you prefer, just make sure you’re comfortable. Make sure you bring clean indoor shoes that will keep you stable and supported.
‍
Myzone is only needed at our Köln studio. Please set up your Myzone account before your first session in Köln to make check-in quicker. You do not need a Myzone account at our other studios. Simply click here, it takes less than 2 minutes to set up.

When you arrive at STORM

Check in at the studio- If you are an Urban Sports Club member simply check in via the STORM QR code. If you are not an Urban Sports Club member, simply show the reception team your booking confirmation.
‍
For your first session, you must arrive at least 20 minutes before your session starts. When you arrive inform the coach this is your first time so they can take you through a quick 5 minute introduction to the workout.

Once the door is closed, the door is closed, and it is showtime for the STORM coach. Access is forbidden and please do not try to enter the STORM studio, especially if you are attending STORM for the first time.  

Locker rooms- You will be given a locker key card, sweat towel and Polar heart rate sensor when you arrive. The key card will give you access to changing and showering facilities and act as your locker key. Find an empty locker, put your things inside and tap the card on the locker pad. When the light turns red, it means it’s locked until you’re ready to tap again and unlock. Remember to return your Polar sensor to your coach before leaving the studio and please return your locker key card to reception before leaving the club.

Setting up for your workout

Myzone heart-rate tracking – Köln only. At our Köln studio, the team will loan you a heart-rate sensor before your session, so please set up your Myzone account beforehand. The system helps you track your effort and stay in your personal training zones throughout the workout. After your session, return the sensor to your STORM coach and hang the strap up to dry.

We also provide you with gloves for the punch element of our bootcamp. These are available in small, medium and large and are ready for you to choose yourself in the studio.

For hygiene reasons and a more personal STORM experience, you may prefer to use your own mitts. If you train in Köln, you may also prefer to use your own Myzone heart-rate tracker.

During your workout

We like to switch up our Bootcamp workouts and always keep things fresh, but you can expect Chase, Lift and Punch in every session, ensuring you develop your endurance, strength and power. In each zone, you’ll work in 2 minute blocks, either 2x 2 minute blocks, or 4x 2 minute blocks, with recovery in between - a true HIIT workout.

Chase - level up your stamina and cardiovascular health with routines that get you moving faster and driving longer than you ever thought possible.

Lift - build full-body strength with free weights and bodyweight movements, designed to work with your body’s natural movement pattens but challenge your limits.

Punch - grow your explosive power against our punching bags. Just grab a pair of gloves (one of ours or bring your own!) and picture whoever or whatever you want… We enhance this zone with explosive plyometric exercises, as well as sand bags and sand bells.
