Top 5 Workouts to Get Summer Ready
Summer in Arizona is right around the corner—and whether you’re hitting the pool, traveling, or just looking to feel your best, now is the time to dial in your routine. The key? Workouts that build strength, boost endurance, and keep you energized without burning you out.
At Mountainside Fitness, we believe in training smarter, not just harder. Here are the Top 5 Workouts to Help You Feel Strong, Confident, and Summer-Ready.
1. Full-Body Strength Training
If you want the most efficient workout with real results, this is it.
Why it works:
- Builds lean muscle
- Boosts metabolism
- Burns calories even after your workout
Go-to moves:
- Squats
- Deadlifts
- Bench Press
- Rows
Pro Tip: Focus on compound movements that target multiple muscle groups at once.
2. HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)
Short on time? HIIT delivers maximum results in minimal time.
Why it works:
- Burns fat fast
- Improves cardiovascular fitness
- Keeps workouts exciting
Example:
- 30 seconds sprint / 30 seconds rest
- 4–6 rounds of:
- Burpees
- Jump squats
- Battle ropes
Perfect for those busy summer schedules.
3. Group Fitness Classes (Energy + Community)
Sometimes the best motivation is the energy around you.
Why it works:
- Built-in accountability
- High-energy atmosphere
- Variety keeps things fresh
At Mountainside, classes like Ignite, Cycle, and Yoga bring together fitness and community—making every workout something to look forward to.
4. Functional Training
Train your body for real life—not just the gym.
Why it works:
- Improves balance and coordination
- Builds core strength
- Enhances everyday movement
Examples:

Great for injury prevention and long-term performance.
5. Recovery & Mobility Work
This might be the most underrated “workout” on the list.

At Mountainside Fitness, recovery is part of the experience with:
