Wacky workout

Traffic cones, hula hoops and crab-walking — welcome to the crazy world of Chaos Training. Peta Bee reports on the exercise routine that is packing New York’s gyms.

If you peek through the door of a Chaos Training class, you really are greeted with total chaos! The creators of this craze — Dr Paul Jurvis and Lashaun Dale — believe that exercise can benefit from being very chaotic — changing from one workout to the next. “There’s no order and no two classes are the same,” Dale says. “Your mind and your muscles never know what to expect. The idea is to get fitter and smarter at the same time.”

Certainly, you might not expect to find drinking straws, traffic cones, helium-filled balloons or builder’s ladders in an exercise studio, but all of these have been used in a 60–90 minute Chaos Training class. The class begins with some ordinary running or skipping before becoming a lot more disorderly! In one of the tasks, 30 helium balloons are released up to the ceiling and then class participants have to get them down as quickly as they can. “They need to use their initiative — some get on each other’s shoulders, others run to the store cupboard to borrow a ladder. It doesn’t matter how they do it because it all works their bodies and minds.”

An extraordinary collection of props are used. Participants breathe through drinking straws while doing abdominal exercises and a yellow flag signals that class members must sprint to one side of the room and stand on a letter X on the floor. When the studio lights are turned off everyone must drop to the floor in a ‘plank position’ with only their elbows, forearms and toes on the floor. Participants also have to make a ‘human ladder’ in which two rows of people each hold a weighted ‘body bar’ so that someone can climb across the top. Many of the moves are unlike anything even the most enthusiastic gym goer will have seen or tried before.

“Workouts like this can be great confidence builders,” says Dearbhla McCullough, a sports psychologist. “You start by thinking, ‘I’ll never be able to do that,’ but realise, with a bit of determination, you can!”

The underlying principles of Chaos Training are not new. “It’s the kind of approach athletes use all the time — testing different muscles and challenging reaction times. If you always do the same workout, your mind and your muscles get bored. Sport is different; you never know in which direction you will have to turn, jump or run. This class attempts to copy that.”

Chaos Training certainly isn’t for the faint-hearted. At the start of the newly launched class I took part in, there were 15 participants but an hour later there were just 5. The rest had dropped out, exhausted. At times, I thought my lungs were going to explode. But just when I thought I would have to join the dropouts, something strange happened — I actually began to enjoy myself, maybe even enough to go along to the next class!
