What is Shockwave? Basically it's a circuit training class with multiple stations but with an added twist. One of the stations is a rowing station. And instead of exercising for time, everyone at the rowing station has to complete a set distance (typically 200m, 300m, or 400m). Everyone else at the other stations has to keep going until the last rower finishes. What makes the class really interesting is that the instructor records the fastest times for the men and women. Now you have an added incentive to row all out so you can have the fastest time in the class. For those of you that are competitive in nature expect to leave the class completely exhausted and on the verge of vomiting.

ShockWave Rowing Class at Equinox Review... One of the best group fitness classes you can take at a gym
I consider the Shockwave rowing class at Equinox one of the best group exercise classes you can take at a gym. Granted, it's not for everyone, but if you enjoy a little friendly competition then this class will be one of the best workouts of your life.
