Page 54 March 2015 Finding the gym just for you By Jessica Morrison If you made fitness resolutions for 2015, and haven’t followed through, or are just looking for new ways to get fit, check out these unique local gyms. It’s easy to get bored, injured or not achieve your desired goals at a traditional gym. At these three unique and local gyms, clients are always under the guidance of a trainer to help them learn good form, prevent injuries and get the results they want. ORANGETHEORY FITNESS 5109 N. 44th St. At Orangetheory, clients wear a heart- rate monitor during workouts to track their progress. “Your results are almost guaranteed as long as you hit the right zones,” said Jonell Devencenty, a trainer and manager. Each workout is 60 minutes, and designed to keep clients in the fat-burning zone for 25-30 minutes, and in the anaerobic zone for 12-20 minutes. “The ‘sweet-spot’ anaerobic zone is where you get kind of uncomfortable, your heart rate gets higher than you’re used to, and we push you past your limits. By going past your limits, your body basically goes into after-burn, so you keep burning calories after the workout,” said Devencenty. “It’s a total-body workout. It hits all aspects of fitness: There’s cardio interval training, which is very efficient for fat burning; the rower for power work; TRX for core; weights and Bosu,” said Devon McCole, an OTF trainer. Mandy McMullen has gone to OTF three times a week for a year. “I like that you have to put your name down for a certain time, so it holds you accountable. It keeps me motivated and it keeps me going.” FIELDFIT 4848 E. Cactus Rd. As an ex-professional athlete, FieldFit’s Ryan Buch wants to keep the people in his gym from getting injured. Buch and co-owner Drew Beuerlein both played professional baseball. At FieldFit, which opened January 24, ex-professional athletes coach all the classes. “Watching your friends pitch on TV while you’re getting sent home because you’re hurt, was a feeling I didn’t want anyone else to have to go through. When my career ended, I wanted to make a place where I could keep kids on the field and keep people healthy in their everyday lives,” said Buch, who explained he was prone to injuries during his six-year baseball career. “The goal is to get you out in 30 minutes. It’s group personal training; we focus on form and technique. The workout is based around the core,” said Beuerlein. “I’m super busy and run my own business, so I love that I can come any time and get a quick 30-minute workout,” said Cynthia Sassi, a FieldFit client. FITREPUBLIC 7135 E. Camelback Rd. At FitRepublic, a multi-studio gym, clients are citizens, and staff members are ambassadors, said FitRepublic Ambassador Meghan Doherty. There are five workout rooms, and a full-service café, said Tiffney Buchholz, FitRepublic ambassador. The club has two yoga rooms: one heated and one not, FieldFit is staffed with ex-professional athletes as trainers and instructors. a cross-fit room, cycle and multi-fit room offering various high-intensity, interval- training classes. “I’m not really a gym person, but I went to a yoga class with a friend there, and I fell in love with the facility. The classes are amazing and the juices and smoothies are awesome,” said Chelsea Mongeon, a FitRepublic citizen.
