\nExercise is a great way for your brain to produce endorphins, these endorphins interfere with your perception of pain resulting in a positive energy. That great feeling you experience after a workout. Because these released endorphins interact with opiate receptors in your brain your they reduce stress and anxiety.<\/p>\n

\nWe are occasionally asked by HITZone members about the possibility of a pay-as-you-go membership. Commitment is essential to success, which is why at HITZone we only offer our members commitment membership packages as supposed to pay-as-you-go membership. As many of you will have already experienced at regular gyms, ‘pay-as-you-go’ often mean you just don’t go – because you have not made that commitment and you don’t feel like you are losing out by not going.<\/p>\n
