BeatCore: A New Training Model Combining Fitness and Health

Going to the gym can be very lazy, the operation bikini It is coming to an end and, as is tradition, the bull has caught me. Diets, exercise, lots of water… any option is good to try to lower those extra kilos y tone the body. But health is also important, not just appearance. For this reason, I wanted to try the new training model that has arrived in Madrid and that combines these two objectives.

He method ‘BeatCore’ seems to have come to the capital to stay. This training venue is located at number 56 of the central street Cardinal Cisneros. We went on a Friday at six in the evening. The streets were quiet, but inside the center it was even more peaceful. Upon arrival we were greeted Jose Perez, who at that time was scrubbing the reception. It was a large space, with a counter, armchairs and lockers where to leave belongings. José Pérez is, in addition to co-founder and coordinator of the company, the teacher who was in charge of introducing me to the method.

“You have to take off your shoes,” he warned me. I, how could it be otherwise, obeyed at the moment. The time had come. Being honest, I was very scared, because despite having practiced sports all my life, this exercise, flexibility and resistance have never been my thing. But somewhere you have to start, so I entered the class. Three other women accompanied me in what was my first contact with the ‘BeatCore’ method, which, as far as I had understood, was a training similar to Pilates.

What is ‘BeatCore’?

My now teacher corrected me: “Our method It has nothing to do with Pilates., beyond the fact that the training is carried out on a machine inspired by the traditional Pilates ‘reformer’. That’s the only similarity. And that it’s a low-impact workout.” The machine in question is the ‘beatformer’, a kind of black table that is made up of two pulleys and a central platform that moves between two other fixed platforms located at the ends.

The platforms are linked by a spring system of eight adjustable resistances that allow personalize the weight and intensity of each exercise. Although it may be scary at first, the coaches calm down all doubts that may arise. In addition, the exercises should be done very slowbecause speed plays a fundamental role in achieving the objectives.

“As long as those times of duration of the exercise are respected, what we are going to be doing is stimulate slow fibers that has the muscle, which is made up of slow and fast fibers. We are interested in the slow ones, which will stimulate the muscle and the effects will be more prolonged in time. In addition, this is very good for accelerating metabolism, for fat, for muscle stylization…”, commented José.

We entered a small room surrounded by mirrors and where I could count five machines. The dim lights and the rhythm of the music accompanied us throughout the session, as well as the calm voice of José, who was explaining the exercises and helping us to do them correctly. “I have taken my time designing a workout, a method that is really effective. It is strength and resistance training that is not easy at all, not relaxing at all, it requires you to be very focused on the moment,” José explained to me. .

I wasn’t lying, concentration and willpower are essential to do the exercises that, for a beginner like me, were difficult to carry out. At first she was wearing socks, which made me slip, so José told me that “the best adherent is the skin”, and I took off my shoes completely. Once ready we started with the class, in which a wide variety of exercises were carried out, being able to tone the whole body.

My legs were shaking, the lack of habit took its toll. But little by little, with the continued help from the teacher, I was able to improve the technique and finish the session with dignity. It is a job in which, despite its calm appearance, you are strengthening many muscles, so your whole body ends up aching. This is a sign of two things, a job well done, and an effective method. In these cases pain is a good sign.

There is no doubt that the fashion of this format of training has an explanation, the good results. In the United States it is already an established reality, and in European capitals such as London, Stockholm or Paris, there are already centers that sound strong. “It will arrive in Madrid soon, but to this day ‘BeatCore’ is the first center with this style of training,” he commented. Jose Perez. famous as Georgina, MichelleObamao Meghan Markle they have chosen the ‘beatformer’ as the best ally to stay in shape.

As for the work team, “all the coaches who are part of the ‘BeatCore’ team are either physiotherapists or come from Sports Sciences. Currently, the four teachers that make up the team have combined the two studies, both physiotherapy and Sports Sciences, which is the perfect mix to execute this method”, affirmed José Pérez. In addition, he commented that “everyone who wants to be part of the team receives a good training of 20 specific hours of the ‘BeatCore’ method, which perfectly prepares them to start training in our center”.

in regards to prices, They offer different rates. Testing a single session has a cost of 27 euros, but if any of the bonds is contracted, the price is considerably reduced. They have vouchers for non-members of four sessions a month by 104 euroswhile the same classes for members cost 90 euros, although it must be taken into account that the choice of this format entails a permanence of three months. In addition, they also have vouchers of eight and ten sessions per month, the choice of which further reduces the starting price.

The center is open four monthsand word of mouth has been essential to attract more customers. Karenone of my classmates, told me that she found out about ‘BeatCore’ through a friend: “I come two days a week, Monday at seven in the morning and Friday at six in the evening. I’ve never been to do sports early, but then I feel like I start the morning differently. I always come to class with my friend, our plan is: first ‘BeatCore’ and then beers”.

And boy, is it a good plan, after a training session of this type, the best thing to do is to walk through the center of Madrid and have a drink with friends. Karen starts and ends the week doing sports, and I’ve already been bitten by the bug and who knows if I’ll soon get on a ‘beatformer’ again. Of course, like Karen’s friend, I would recommend that mine try this new method, even though shoelaces continue to accompany me days later.

Currently, the center has waiting list in one of the peak sessions, however, we can tell the exclusive that the co-founder of ‘BeatCore’ has transferred to us. “At the beginning of September we are going to open a second training center in the heart of Salamanca neighborhood, in the Goya area. We are working very hard for it, we are pioneers and we want to grow fast. Carrying out this second project is very exciting and we believe that it will work very well”, José Pérez commented in a scoop for EL ESPAÑOL.

This journalist left class on a Friday at seven in the evening, but she still feels reminiscences all over her body. The exercises They have accompanied me for several days: when climbing stairs, sitting on the subway, or raising your arms. But, as I already said, these pains are a sign that the method works. Let them tell my classmates, that while I fell off the machine, it seemed to cost them no effort. I guess that’s the key, to practice and improve every day, because, as they say, “Practice makes a master”.
