HupSix Explained: The Gear, The Workout, The Music
HupSix is a fast-pace workout using bodyweight exercises, patented gear, and audio cues to get you moving in sync to music that rocks. You'll burn calories, build endurance, and improve coordination all at once!
Inspired by Athletic Dance from the ’40s and ’50s
Have you seen movies from the 1940s and ’50s where men and women just seemed to know how to dance together? They actually did. It might seem wild today, but the basic step for swing dance was simple enough to learn on the spot. That’s how the military helped spread it from a small, elite group at the Savoy Ballroom in NYC to the entire world. The style was naturally athletic—in fact, it was the first dance style done in sneakers.
The Click Method: Keeping You Moving in Sync
HupSix takes that same basic step as the foundation of our workout. This keeps your feet moving constantly in time with the music—great for cardio. We created a Click Method so you simply step to the clicks, speeding up the learning process. If you watch a HupSix live class, you’ll see everyone moving in unison. That’s where the “Hup” comes from—just like in military drills: “Hup, 2, 3, 4…” Ours is a six-count: click, click, click-click.
Patented Gear for Resistance and Connection
Once you have the basic step down, everything else starts to fall into place: turns, transitions, and more advanced moves. Our patented gear provides resistance and the feel of a partner. You hold the handles with your fingertips, just like in social dancing, while the bungee creates a dynamic connection.
The resistance is light but activates your whole body, kind of like swimming. Our over-sneaker socks turn any sneaker into a dance shoe, helping protect your knees and ankles from injury.
Keep It Simple and Train Like an Athlete
To get good at HupSix, keep it simple. The moment people start thinking of it as dancing, they tend to add more than they need. Follow the instructor exactly and get your body to go where you tell it.
Think of each round like a football or baseball drill—it’ll help you HupSix better. That’s why many athletes use it for cross-training.
Rockin’ Music That Powers Your Workout
Oh, and one more thing: the music. We have band members from The Rolling Stones, Wilson Pickett, Joe Cocker, and more creating tracks just for HupSix. They’ve made us rockin' tunes with solid grooves, big energy, and backbeats that push every move.
It’s not just background music; it’s an integral part of the workout.
Why HupSix is Different
Sure, you can burn calories doing anything. But if you want to improve how you move, build endurance, and have a blast doing it, HupSix is the workout for you.

Hi Stephanie,
Think this is so fun and it looks as if older people can do this too.
