H.I.C.C. Personal Training
Developed by Anjali Sareen.
Built around you.
High Intensity & Core Challenge — the strength training program backed by Pilates. For people who want results without injury.
H.I.C.C. is a program developed by Anjali Sareen.
It combines high intensity training – based on Pilates principles of injury-prevention, plus Pilates core work.
Every session builds strength and conditions the body to handle it.
Most workout-related injuries are a result of unsuitable fitness programs and poor training with incorrect form and intensity.
H.I.C.C. is designed to avoid that.
WHAT YOUR H.I.C.C. SESSIONS LOOK LIKE
Every H.I.C.C. session is private, one-on-one, and 45 minutes — planned individually by your instructor for your fitness level, your goals, and how your body is responding.
There's no fixed chart repeated week after week. Workouts progress as you do, combining strength and conditioning equipment with Pilates-based core work, so the program keeps adapting instead of plateauing.
This is what separates H.I.C.C. from a standard personal training session: it's not a template routine applied to you, it's a program built around you.
These are sessions you'll actually look forward to.
Equipment: Medicine Balls | Battle Ropes | TRX Suspension Straps | Pilates Reformer and Tower | Resistance Tubing | Stability Cushions | Rope Trainer | Steps | Free Weights
Anjali Sareen has worked across fitness, sport, and rehabilitation for nearly 35 years.
High Intensity and Core Challenge is the result of that experience built into a single program — one that conditions the whole body while minimising injury-risk.
“A strong, agile body that works well instils a feeling of strength and confidence in us – not just in how we look but also in how we perform and are able to use our bodies."
— Anjali Sareen
WHO IS HIGH INTENSITY AND CORE CHALLENGE FOR
H.I.C.C. at The Zone is for you if:
| You want results, not routines
You're tired of generic gym programs that don't move with your progress.
| You've been injured by training before
Incorrect form or poorly structured programming has cost you before. You want to train hard without that risk again.
| You want strength without rigidity
You're looking for total-body strength and conditioning with joint health, stability, and balance built in — not isolated muscle work or repetitive machine circuits.
| You're managing a busy schedule
You need sessions that are time-efficient and sustainable as a long-term commitment, not a short burst you'll abandon.
| You want to train for life, not just for now
You're working toward long-term fitness, mobility, and quality of life — not a short-term aesthetic goal.
| You're an athlete or serious mover
You want conditioning that supports performance in another sport or activity, built on a strong core foundation.
WHAT CHANGES
What the High Intensity and Core Challenge program does for you
STRENGTH, WITHOUT THE STRAIN
Total-body integration work targets multiple muscle groups through functional, multi-directional movement — building real strength with less risk to joints and connective tissue.
A STRONGER, MORE CAPABLE CORE
Pilates principles of core-based movement run through every H.I.C.C. session, so strength is built from a stable centre outward.
INJURY PREVENTION, BUILT IN
Every exercise is selected and corrected with form, alignment, and your individual history in mind — so training builds you up instead of breaking you down.
FAT-LOSS THAT LASTS
Interval-based training combines high intensity with low-impact movement, building endurance and supporting fat loss without overloading the body.
