12round

12round is a health and fitness company specializing in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workout programs. Founded in 2012, the company emphasizes a structured, full-body workout approach designed to maximize calorie burn and improve cardiovascular fitness within a short period. Its signature format involves a 12-round workout session, typically lasting around 30 minutes, with each round focusing on different exercises, including cardio, strength training, and core work.

The 12round system is characterized by its interval-based structure, combining periods of intense activity with recovery phases. This approach aims to increase metabolic rate and promote fat loss while building muscle endurance. The workouts are often conducted in a circuit style, using a combination of bodyweight movements, resistance equipment, and cardio activities. The program is adaptable for various fitness levels and can be customized based on individual goals.

Initially launched as a franchised gym model, 12round expanded rapidly across the United States and internationally. Its training model caters to both beginners seeking general fitness and athletes pursuing specific training goals. The company also offers personal training and indoor cycling options, integrated into some locations.

Despite its popularity, there is ongoing scientific debate regarding the long-term effectiveness of HIIT programs like 12round compared to traditional steady-state exercise. However, many practitioners highlight its efficiency and engaging format as key benefits. The brand continues to focus on providing accessible, time-efficient fitness solutions aimed at promoting healthier lifestyles.

As of recent years, 12round remains a notable player within the boutique fitness industry, advocating for active lifestyles through dynamic, scientifically informed workout routines.
