The sessions are only 40 minutes long which is highly desirable to the average time pressed City worker. The workout sessions alternate bursts of high intensity cardio with full body weight exercises using kettle bells, medicine balls and even boxing punch bags! Hines is based in a bespoke corporate gym in the heart of the Square Mile, a stones’ throw from Liverpool Street station.

Hines remarks, “When you’re competing against the big box gyms and some very slick high end studios you need to think outside the box a little bit. That’s why I came up with the idea of the City Blast Workout– I wanted my clients to get the benefits of an hour’s workout in only 40 minutes. It took a little time to perfect the right exercises to maximise the benefits of the routine but I got there in the end.”

Hines’s exercise routines are not for the faint hearted and fly in the face of conventional wisdom and he is often deemed somewhat controversial but he enjoys telling it how it is.

“Some of the workouts are pretty brutal but they deliver the results the clients want and many of the Type A personalities I train in the City enjoy the challenge of the workout.” Hines goes on to say.
