Patented HiiT Technology
Our patented HiiT machines are what makes Hitsona so unique. You won't find them anywhere else. Our whole studio concept is built around this one piece of equipment, which is why our startup and running costs are so low.
The machines are scientifically proven to reduce DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness), which means our members can enjoy Hitsona sessions every day.
With over 80 different exercises, and heart-rate monitors to measure exertion, Hitsona classes are suitable for all ages and fitness levels.
No Fitness Experience Needed
Anyone can become a Hitsona coach.
Our studio owners come from all walks of life, from former nurses to former finance professionals. The only things they have in common are:
