Basecamp

Basecamp is all about fast fitness—for 35 minutes, you alternate between strength training and cardio, and then you cool down for ten. Some of this will be spent on an "assault bike" or a high-resistance bike that pushes you to your limits. It prides itself on being a "high-five" environment where everyone supports each other, with no judgment.
