If boutique gyms like Barry’s Bootcamp and Orangetheory are popping up all over your city, you’re noticing the explosive trend of high-intensity interval training, or HIIT.

And it doesn't look like the HIIT approach is going anywhere anytime soon. According to the 2013 Fitness Programs & Equipment Trends Report from the IDEA Health and Fitness Association, more than 90 percent of all fitness professionals are incorporating HIIT into their programs, and for good reason: HIIT is a proven way to get you fitter, faster.
