But once we hit the floor and the treadmills for the HIIT &amp; Run sessions, it was more sweat than glamour. With a mix of strength and condition and hill sprints, it really gave us and the shoes a thorough workout!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogemea.hokaoneone.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/fan-4.jpg\" alt=\"Participants stretch after the workout at HOKA Fly at Night event in London\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Isaac, exhausted journalist and HOKA fan, says: \u201cI thoroughly enjoyed putting the Mach and Cavu Fly at Night through their paces. Both shoes are impressively lightweight, but manage to combine that with HOKA&#8217;s trademark cushioning, which makes for a winning formula. The class itself was great, in the sense that it was absolutely knackering!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Find out more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hokaoneone.eu\/en\/fly-at-night\/?icid=hp_fly_at_night_041018\">Fly at Night Collection<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For one night only, HOKA ONE ONE took over the premium KXU Gym in the heart of west London for an exclusive event to celebrate the launch of the new Fly at Night Collection.
