MRT vs HIIT – Which is Right For You?

Hitting a rut in your HIIT routine? Enter Metabolic Resistance Training (MRT). If you’ve been craving results without the guesswork, MRT might just be your new best friend.

Picture this: instead of the usual HIIT grind where you’re constantly racing against the clock, MRT flips the script. How? By dialing down the time under tension and dialing up the rest intervals. But here’s the kicker: it’s all about hitting those weights harder. Yep, you heard that right.

At Superpower, we’re all about prescribing low-impact MRT over high-impact HIIT for most of our members. Why? Because pounding the pavement / plyo box jumps might not be the best fit for everyone. With low impact MRT, we’re talking about building strength, power, and endurance—all while giving your joints a little love.

But here’s the thing that often gets overlooked: while HIIT and MRT are fantastic tools, they should be the sprinkle on top, not the whole cake. Strength training should be your base modality. It’s like building a house—get that foundation solid first.

MRT takes the guesswork out of high-intensity interval training and teaches you how to perform true HIIT protocols and optimize HIIT benefits. So, if you’re ready to take your HIIT game to the next level, why not consider signing up for personal or semi-personal training at Superpower?
