Flatline, a new fitness class that has been named the toughest in the world, comes to London. Doctors and paramedics are always available on site while participants need to sign a disclaimer beforehand and fill in an organ donor form. 

 

London gym chain Gymbox launched Flatline at its site in Farringdon, north London. It has a compulsory oxygen station as part of the cool down and a professional cardiologist on site. 

 

The 45-minute class was designed by experienced Gymbox trainers and leading endurance experts to test all elements of strength and stamina. Participants have to wear a 12kg vest as they work their way through a grid of activities including kettle bell thrusts, atlas stone throws, weighted rope climbs and box jump burpees. 

 

David Cooper, director of Gymbox, said: “Flatline comes with a significant warning: do not even think about this class if you are unsure in any way about the ability of your body to be pushed to its absolute maximum physical limits, and probably some way beyond. A lot of Gymbox members have said to us that their dream is to have a body to die for. With Flatline that will be a lot closer than some people think.”
