BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT Your Fitness SPONSORED CONTENT Simple Fitness– You Want Exercise How You Want When I f you’re busy like most people, before or after work isn’t always the best time to get in a workout. Kids need to be fed, picked up and dropped off, chores pile up, and you still have last week’s shows sitting on your DVR waiting to be watched. By the time you get all that done, chances are the gym’s closed for the day and you swear you’ll get up extra early tomorrow to make up for it, but when does that happen? Fortunately, Simple Fitness in Moon has the answer – a 24-hour facility where you call the shots on when you want to go and what you want your workout to be like. Started earlier this year by Laura Bingham, a veteran fitness enthusiast who holds a masters in Exercise Science, Simple Fitness is a new take on the old exercise routine. “By no means is it a traditional gym,” Laura said. “We offer ‘Fitness on Demand,’ which is a system that offers over 100 class options on demand ranging from yoga, Pilates, cycling, cardio, Zumba-like, kettlebell , and strength training classes. All the equipment is provided in the studio rooms. Fitness on Demand features ‘Daily Burn’ workouts, which are well known in the fitness industry. Cycling classes have the state-of-the-art cycling bikes by Life Cycle, calibration calculation, and you can choose to Cycle with an instructor or take the scenic route through Canada, Maine, Ireland, Colorado, and more.” Users choose what classes they’re looking for from a touch-screen menu. Their selection is then projected to a big screen for them to follow. Classes last anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. Each class is easy to follow and ranked Easy, Standard or Advanced in ability level. Basically, if you’ve ever ordered made-to-order food, or used the self-checkout in a store, you will be right at home at Simple Fitness. With two studios, Laura takes requests from members to create a schedule, so she can have the members decide what needs scheduling when. The options are endless. “If you’re the kind of person who wants to join a scheduled class, that’s great! If you want structure, requesting classes is the easiest way to guarantee your class will be played at a certain time,” Laura said. The goal is to have fun and try something new in a non-judgmental environment! The classes are listed on the website, and requests are taken at the gym. Classes are structured to be smaller in nature, with one to eight participants in each. A third room allows members to warm up or add to their workout with state-of-the-art cardio by Octane, and a strength training machine that you can target all your muscle groups on one machine with a touch-screen guide. The beauty of all these options is you can make your workout your own. You can pick a series of classes to make your workout, warm up on cardio machine then do a class, or use cardio machine and use the strength training machine. Workouts are not meant to be one-size-fitsall, so Laura chose options so you can get the best workout for YOU! What’s more, the Fitness on Demand is constantly being updated, with four to six new classes added each month. New classes are posted in each studio and on the website! You’ll also find that membership to Simple Fitness is not only affordable, with sign-up specials available, but has a month-to-month payment structure, so there’s no need for a contract locking you into years of service that you may not use. Members get a keyless entry card that lets them into the facility at all hours, whether the facility is staffed or not. For security, Simple Fitne
