Fitnesstainment: how to combine going to the movies and intense workouts?

No more painfully choosing where to go in the evening – to the movies or to train in the gym! Russia’s leading fitness chain World Class and the popular online movie theater Tvzavr are launching an unusual format of watching a great movie – during cycle training in a super-modern cycling studio. Tvzavr will show Cannes Film Festival winners in Cycle Studio.

The movies for the workout have been specially selected and recommended by Sam Klebanov, a famous movie distributor and presenter.

– What do you think about this project? How important and interesting do you think it is?
Sam Klebanov: “I think it’s an interesting experiment. I myself am very fond of cycling, I have been practicing and training for many years. But I don’t really like to do it indoors, because what I like about cycling is the feeling that you are riding and the environment is changing around you. For example, in Sweden, where I live, it is very beautiful: you ride along the seashore – amazing landscapes, sunsets. You don’t have all this indoors. Often people turn on the TV to watch something just flickering, but here you are offered to watch an interesting, smart, intellectual movie and at the same time to pedal. That is, everything must work: both the body and the brain. And the brain, by the way, is the most energy-consuming organ of a human being, which burns the most calories. That’s why I think it’s interesting from a sports point of view – to burn calories not only with your legs, but also with your brain. Then, after 90 minutes, a person is also enriched spiritually, intellectually, aesthetically. And in the end, he leaves with the feeling of having spent his time in a useful way, turning into an interesting, complex, healthy person in the course of the training”.

– Do you think there could be entire movie theaters of this kind in the future?
– It’s more likely that gyms will make themselves more like movie theaters – invest in good screens, sound. There will be not just TVs, but big screens, some special lighting, so that absolutely everyone in the gym can watch a movie and work out.

– Is there any movie that you would really like to watch in this format?
– I think I would love to see a collection of Woody Allen movies. They fit right into that format. In fact, there are a lot of movies that I haven’t seen and I can’t get my hands to watch, and then suddenly I can get my feet to watch them.
