‘The Nike Training Club’ Review

Netflix is more than streaming videos.

“The Nike Training Club” is the new collaboration in form of exercise between Nike and Netflix. The training offers a total of 30 hours of sessions and is free with an already existing Netflix subscription.

At OSU, the Colvin Recreation Center offers students free admission and use of most of its facilities, including weight training machines, treadmills, full-length basketball courts and more.

Around this time of the year gyms can be packed with people and some people might feel anxious about working out in front of other people and worried about crowds.

Classes might make it hard for students to make time to go to the gym. For people whose New Year’s resolution is to start working out or for people who have been working out for a long time, the “Nike Training Club” workouts are a great way to get exercise fast and in the comfort of your own dorm, apartment or anywhere else that you have down time.

“The Nike Training Club” includes 10 different sections with each section having three to 26 episodes within them.

The sessions have a huge variety for everyone, from 10-minute workouts, to 30-minute, to bodyweight burn and more. To test how the “Nike Training Club” workouts compared to gyms such as the Colvin, I tried out a few of the many programs that Netflix has to offer.

To start, I tried “10-Min HIT: Upper Body Blast.” In the short amount of time I had in between classes, I was able to get a high intensity upper body workout that was well coached and diverse with the muscle groups it hit.

After that workout, I tried the “20-Min Bodyweight Burn: Core Strength.” The curve of difficulty and intensity goes up from the 10-minute workouts, and what is great about this particular core workout was the level of self control with the intensity and volume. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

The instructors kept it simple easy to understand and allowed for some difficulty curves for people who want a more intense workout or people who want a more relaxed one.

Last but not least, I tried the yoga session “Feel-Good Fitness: Feel-Good Flow.” The session was about seven minutes long and offered a nice and easy full-body exercise, guiding the viewers with breathing techniques and stretching out tight muscles.

“The Nike Training Club” is great for people who want to start slow or for those looking for a simple and easy exercise. The Colvin is still a valid way to get in daily exercising, running or weightlifting, but if you prefer to excercise at home, Netflix’s Nike sessions are a perfectly good substitute.

While Kincaid and several others were treated to a fun-filled experience, the Talent Committee was hard at work putting together the event. Junior Mason Lough, the director of the talent committee, discussed some of the many steps behind pulling off a SUAB event.

“First, we’ll start with getting input from my committee on what kind of prizes we want to do, and then it will go to working with my graduate assistant to get our graphic together,” Lough said. “Then it just comes down to logistics things like working with the committee to decide who is going to work the check-in table, who’s going to announce the bingo numbers, who’s going to check to make sure, things like that.”

There are several committees within SUAB, but the talent committee is devoted to discovering the talent of the students that OSU has to offer.

“All of our events relate back to that,” Lough said.

As to why the committee landed on pop culture as the theme of their bingo, Lough related it back to the talent aspect.

“We thought pop culture was like our whole shtick because usually bringing out the talent of OSU is going to come with the culture side of things,” Lough said. The committee’s pop culture-centered event certainly brought out some talented or just lucky bingo players. After a fun night filled with music, laughs, lots of bingos and a tiebreaker, junior Magdalyn Harry walked away with the biggest prize of the night, a record player
