If you’re like me, you’ve made a New Year’s resolution to get back to the gym, to eat healthy and to start training for the Spartan Race. (Ok, maybe not that last part.) If you’re like me, you started out with morning vegetable juices and afternoon gym classes only to find that the routine is getting old fast. Yoga is too spiritual, pilates is too repetitive, and spinning is, well, spinning.
Enter R Gym. What makes this gym so different from all others? To start, R Gym gives a whole new meaning to ‘personal’ in personal training. This is not simply one-on-one attention. This is a completely customized program built for your body, your goals and, most importantly, your interests. So if you’re looking for the intensity of circuit training mixed with the serenity of yoga, just say the word. Want to target those glutes at the same time? You got it. And why not throw in a little cage boxing while you have that sweat going? No matter what your fitness goals, we all know the key to changing your body is sticking to your program. At R Gym, you work with an expert to create a program that keeps you coming back so you actually get to see results. (Hello beach body!)
Aside from being entirely customized, R Gym gives you the option of complete privacy. Grab a few friends to join your new routine and the delightful trainers will actually close the gym door so you can have the space all to yourselves. Your music. Your equipment. And your people. What else could you ask for?
For those of you who raised your eyebrows at the mention of cage boxing, it happens to be one of the most popular exercises at R Gym. And not just because the gym is home to a slew of MMA fighters. “Everybody loves the cage,” says owner, trainer and fighter Rocky Russo. “The corporate guys can’t wait to take their ties off and hit something. And women who have only ever done yoga are first in line!” Whether you opt for a self-defense class, Muay Thai boxing, or just want to hit a bag, it’s a workout that resonates with everyone.
With a list of unique classes (Brazilian Booty Camp is a must-try), elite memberships, an R-juice bar, and some of the most advanced equipment available (including $15, 000 Powerplate machines!), R Gym brings a real boutique feel to fitness.
So if your resolutions are fading as February rolls in, grab your music, a friend and a little fierceness, and shake things up with a workout that’s made exclusively for you. Next step: the Spartan Race.
