High-Energy Ritbox Classes That Don’t Feel Like Cardio.
Functional movement, martial arts and HIIT, synced to music, in a private Dublin 8 studio. It feels like a dance class. Your body treats it like a full-intensity workout.
What It Is
Burn fat. Have fun doing it.
Ritbox is a Brazilian fitness format that combines functional movements, martial arts and HIIT, all synced to music. There’s no sparring and no contact — just 60 minutes of full-body work led by a certified instructor, capped at 10 people so nobody disappears at the back.
- Full-body cardio and strength in every session
- Music-driven energy that makes the hour fly by
- No experience needed, the intensity scales to your level
- Single classes or packs — no contract, no ongoing commitment
Balance the intensity with mat Pilates — many members pair the two across the week.
How It Works
What 60 minutes of Ritbox looks like.
Structured like a proper training session — it just happens to be set to music.
Warm-Up · 10 min
Dynamic movement and technique prep that raises your heart rate and grooves the basic strikes and footwork.
Main Work · 40 min
Rounds of functional movement, martial arts combinations and HIIT intervals, synced to the music. The instructor coaches intensity round by round.
Cool-Down · 10 min
Guided stretching and breathing to bring the heart rate down, so you leave energised rather than wrecked.
Who It’s For
For people who’d rather enjoy their workout than endure it.
You find cardio boring
Treadmills feel like punishment. Ritbox gets your heart rate just as high, you just don’t notice because you’re having fun.
You want to burn off a stressful day
An hour of striking combinations to music is remarkably effective therapy. You’ll sleep well that night.
You train better in a group
Ten people, one instructor, shared playlist. The energy of the room does half the motivating for you.
You’re starting from zero
No experience, no problem. Every move is demonstrated, there’s no contact, and the intensity is yours to control.
