KROSS PARK

If lying down while someone else takes care of you is starting to feel a little too easy, it might be time to get on all fours instead. At KROSS PARK, a rooftop training club in Phrom Phong, you can try Animal Flow – a workout based around ground movements inspired by the way animals move.

And yes, at first glance it might look like a group of adults collectively deciding to become very athletic monkeys, but there’s considerably more technique involved than randomly crawling around the floor. The bodyweight workout combines fluid sequences designed to challenge your mobility, coordination, core strength and overall body control. You’ll move through different positions close to the ground, linking them together until eventually you’re actually “flowing” between them.

Personally, I think this is exactly the kind of workout that could very quickly expose muscles you didn't know existed. But if your usual gym routine is starting to bore you, learning how to move your body in a completely different way sounds like a pretty good excuse to unleash your inner animal for an hour.

KROSS PARK. 5/9 Soi Phrom Si 1, Phrom Phong. Open daily 8am–10pm.
