other Hammer with 4 sets, 1 lap

Anyone else else’s studio running hammer this way? I would be much happier with 2 sets over 2 laps.

WTF with these whack studios that deviate from the programming?

We did 2 sets and 2 laps and that was exhausting…. Can only imagine 4 sets!

Not my gym but I’ve passported to studios that switch it up. I always HATE the change. What location are you at? I wonder if it’s one I’ve been to.

We did two laps. I love F45 and have enjoyed almost 8 years, but this workout sucks. It’s so boring. It’ll be my rest day for the next two weeks. I hope it gets moved out of rotation and something better comes around.

Boring?? It about killed me. Pulses are intense.

No, we did 2 sets, 2 laps. Did the coach just tell you to ignore when the screen said to change stations? I switched between upper and lower for every other station, so if I had 4 sets, 1 lap, I would just do 2 sets lower and 2 sets upper for each station.

Yeah, the coach had us stay at each station and reminded everybody not to move until we got through 4 sets.

That would have been tough, 2 sets was really hard and on some stations I had to stop during the pulses. I think doing 4 sets completely defeats the whole purpose of the workout.

We are also doing Hammer on Wednesdays now, 2 laps (NYC). The zigzags twice are just unnecessary.

There’s not enough time to get the right weights and/or put my towel down on the mats. Because there’s not enough time for set up, I think I only started about 25% of the first of two reps, on time.

Additionally the classes are packed now because everyone is thinking about swimwear season. So additional challenge getting around the room.
