Class + Studio: JABS x TONE with Gina Dinapoli
Location: PROJECT by Equinox (5x a week), select Equinox locations – Flatiron, E. 63rd, and Bryant Park (all NYC).
Other Cities: Nope!
Length: 50 mins.
Description: Kickboxing with an aerobic twist. A series of punching and kicking combos, integrate props like hand weights and a step, all choreographed to the beat of the music.
Sweat Level: 8.5/10 – Get ready to sweat, this is absolutely a hair washing class!
Tone Level: 8/10 – Incredibly toning and challenging, but the more advanced/experienced you are, the harder the workout. The ab series at the end is very challenging.
Cult Level: 9/10 – Almost gave it a 10, but Gina is so freaking friendly … the girl just has a serious Jabs squad that could do her routines in their sleep. The jabbers are so loyal, they can pretty much lead the class. Basically a female-focused Akin’s Army.
Sneakers/Props: Sneakers!
Shower/Locker Situation: At Project it’s minimal (no showers, no change rooms, digi locks, limited products), Equinox has all amenities.
Vibe: Upbeat and FIERCE – more about the feeling/rhythm than perfection.
Similar to: Very unique, unlike other classes, but has a bit of an ‘Aerosculpt’ at Aerospace vibe meets old school step aerobics.
Extras: Not on CP. Waitlists very quickly. 20-class minimum to be in the front row.
Go Back? Yes, we love it and want to get good at it. It gets better each time!
