Fitness Tips: The Best Ways to Add Variety and Keep Your Workouts Fun
It’s no wonder why exercise is such an important part of life. With benefits such as better sleep, energy boosts, and increased levels of happiness, you want working out to be easy, fun, and approachable. Oso Climbing Gyms provides the best selection of workout opportunities in Dallas. From kickboxing to weight training, Oso’s event schedule is designed for you to get the most out of your time in the gym.
Variety is crucial when it comes to falling in love with working out.
When you’re doing the same thing every day, your body learns to adapt and your progress will plateau. Not only that, but a repetitive regimen can become boring.
Regularly trying out new exercises or cycling through a range of kickboxing, yoga, lifting, and climbing classes has many benefits. Not only is it favorable for your body, but your mind will be engaged in new ways as well.
Oso provides the I AM LIFTED Bootcamp classes, which combine fitness training and mental health awareness for an exciting workout. Without a doubt, these classes are high-energy and extremely popular. You’ll catch tons of people gathering to work out with Antoine (the instructor) throughout the day.
You have a variety of classes to choose from:
- Bootcamp
- Total Body Burn
- Upper Body Burn
- Lower Body Burn
- Cardio + Strength
Are you ready to improve your strength and mobility, all while not actually getting hit? These classes provide a different way to move your body while having fun. You don’t need much to join a kickboxing class – just comfortable, athletic clothing. You can bring your own boxing gloves and hand wraps, but they are also provided when you attend the class.
From olympic lifting to functional workouts, you can do it all with a classic weights and machine setup. However, if you’re looking to mix it up without spending the time to research a new workout plan, try out one of our wide variety of classes at Oso:
- Kettlebell Foundations
- LIFTguard (heavy lifting)
- Core w/Coach Justin

Each of these classes give you the opportunity to add to your strength training skill set. Become more proficient with kettlebells in KB Foundations. Lift heavy weight confidently and safely in LIFTguard. Get a killer core workout with Coach Justin. Lastly, get your whole body working in Total Body Strength.
