Build It. Burn It. Reveal It.
When it comes to achieving a sculpted midsection and powerful glutes, strength training is only half the battle. You can do all the hip thrusts, ab crunches, and glute kickbacks in the world, but if your body fat percentage is too high, those muscles will stay hidden beneath the surface. That’s why combining muscle-building movements with strategic cardio is the winning formula for results you can actually see.
Build the Foundation: Train Your Abs and Glutes
Your abs and glutes are two of the most important muscle groups for aesthetics and function. Strong glutes support hip mobility, posture, and athletic performance, while well-trained abdominals stabilize the spine, improve core control, and reduce injury risk. Machines like the Ab Coaster® CS3000 and the Glute Coaster® TL isolate and challenge these muscles with intuitive movement patterns and consistent resistance.
Whether you’re aiming for aesthetic definition or better performance, a dedicated ab and glute training protocol lays the groundwork. But to reveal that definition, you need to burn the layer of fat that covers it.
Burn to Reveal: The Cardio Component
That’s where cardio comes in—but not just any cardio. Traditional steady-state options like the treadmill or elliptical have their place, but when time and impact are a concern, non-traditional cardio is the game-changer.
Enter The HIIT Zone by The Abs Company: a dynamic training space designed to combine resistance and cardio for maximal fat-burning potential. Two of the standout pieces in the zone are:
SledMill®
This machine mimics the power and challenge of a weighted sled push, but without the turf. Users drive through explosive strides, activating the posterior chain (yes, that includes the glutes) while skyrocketing the heart rate. It’s a low-impact, high-output way to shred fat and build strength simultaneously.
aTAC™ HIIT AirBike
Launching in Q3, this air-driven ergometer brings a new level of intensity to upper- and lower-body cardio. The aTAC responds to your effort—the harder you push, the more resistance you generate. It’s ideal for interval training, conditioning circuits, or calorie-torching finishers.
According to ACE Fitness, High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) has been shown to be more effective than steady-state cardio for improving cardiovascular fitness, burning fat, and preserving muscle mass.
Why This Matters for Gym Owners
Offering a space that trains abs, glutes, and delivers an intense cardio burn sets your club apart. The HIIT Zone draws in members looking for both results and variety. It’s visual, experiential, and social-media ready—everything today’s fitness consumers are seeking.
Final Thought: You Can't Cut What You Don't Build
Cardio alone won’t sculpt your physique. And strength alone won’t burn the fat. But when you build your abs and glutes and then shred with high-intensity cardio like the SledMill and aTAC, the results speak for themselves.
