COOL SPRINGS PERSONAL TRAINING MADE FOR YOU
For nearly a year since its grand opening last November , Cool Springs has been quickly growing to fill the plethora of space that its new sports complex affords members with classes and programming that appeals to fitness enthusiasts of all levels .
Now the center is in the refinement stage of its growth , with areas of personal training and group exercise classes gaining a laser-like focus on its members . That refinement not only has singled out Cool Springs from the competition as a place for serious personal training and fitness , it has gained a reputation in the community as a fun and affordable alternatives to retail gyms .
Emily Memo , Fitness Manager for Cool Springs , said that three personal trainers are available at any given time , each with their own areas of specialty .
Zach Petro specializes in strength training , conditioning and performance training for student athletes . Claudia Booker specializes in working with seniors and those recovering from surgery . Anyone with arthritis or joint problems would also be a good fit in Claudia ’ s schedule . Lastly , Cool Springs has a general population trainer who works with students , seniors and everyone in between . Each trainer is available for assessment and consultation so you can determine what kind of regimen would be best for you . They analyze things like body fat , blood pressure , waist to hip ratio and what your personal goals are . People can then book a training package that serves their needs . Sessions can be private , semiprivate and in groups of three to six people . Members get a 5 percent discount on all training packages .
Included in memberships to the fitness center are access to the brand new , state of the art exercise equipment , which includes Lifefitness Cardio machines , treadmills , ellipticals , stationary bikes and stair steppers . All of the free weights and power lifting equipment is made by Hammer Strength , a leading name in the industry . Three month memberships are a competitive $ 69 a month . Twelve month memberships are $ 45 a month . Day passes are also available . Each membership level includes free access to the facility ’ s courts and fields unless they are reserved by other organizations for play . There are price discounts available for seniors and military service people , and the facility is Silver Sneakers approved . The Sports Performance Cafe , run by Ches Anthony , provides healthy wraps and smoothies to go for patrons to eat healthy while on the run .
Memo said Group exercise classes include 12-15 different ongoing programs such as basic yoga , beginners yoga , P90X , Weights , Core & More , Power Hour , and Express HITT , among others . Currently group exercise classes include a base of 15 classes included in the fitness membership , and they run in 6-week sessions . Starting this fall , specialized classes will be added at an additional , nominal . The center also will be adding three times more class space to its already growing exercise area , which will allow for a significant increase in class size .
The last addition this fall will be the Kids Zone , which will be available to everyone who enters the building and is a supervised play area for toddlers to 10-year-olds . The Kids Zone will be monitored by qualified childcare professionals , but is not a day-care .
“ It ’ s a dynamic play zone with climbing and slides , a toddler play area and lots of hands-on , physical activities ,” Memo said . The Kids Zone also will charge a modest cost , which will be determined when it opens this October .
