Pure Fitness Training is true to its name.
Pure: Merriam-Webster defines pure as "not mixed with anything else." Walking into the fitness studio and setting my stuff along the wall with everyone else's things, I noticed it had the basics - a bathroom, a water fountain, and the equipment needed for each workout station. Everything a gym needed to be successful. Keep it simple. It allows for you to get in and out and on with your day in about 60 minutes.
Fitness: Merriam-Webster defines fitness as a "condition of being physically fit and healthy." Pure has boot camps offered everyday except for Sundays. The intention of these boot camps is to get you on the road to being healthy and fit. The class included stretching and a dynamic warm-up (ie running, side stepping. skipping, high knees, some resistant band exercises) before getting to the meat of the class - the circuit.
After the warm-up, we broke off into groups of 3-4 to one of about 7-8 stations. At each station, you would complete two different exercises - strength /metabolic cardio. Each exercise lasted 30 seconds. So for 3 minutes you stayed at the station switching between the two different exercises every 30 seconds with a short break. After the 3 minutes, you moved to the next station - grabbing a drink as needed, until you have completed all of them for a full body workout.
Training - Merriam-Webster defines training as "teaching a person a particular skill." This was definitely happening in this class. There were 3 trainers (including Mike the owner) during the whole class. Bernard warmed us up demonstrating the exercises as needed to the new ones like myself. Prior to starting the stations, Bernard and Madison demonstrated the exercises, while Mike explained the 2-3 different difficult levels of each exercise, so any fitness level can do this workout. Once the stations were in progress, the trainers were actively watching us to not only help us get started since that was alot to remember, but also to make sure we had the proper technique. Mike kept track of the time and yelled out half way time and time to switch. Since this was my first time, Mike paired me up with a regular, Erny. She was a tremendous help demonstrating the exercises again for me so I knew what to do. All the trainers are either working on or hold at least a bachelor's in exercise physiology/science.
"Never throw in the towel.
Use it to wipe off the sweat.
Then keep going."
Pure Fitness Training provides what you need to get a great workout. If you are looking for a group environment to push yourself, have it scheduled in your day to get it in, or just starting to work out, this is a place to try. Mike said the stations vary to keep it interesting and challenging. The ones we had in our class varied from bear crawling to slamming a sledge hammer on a tractor tire (my favorite), slamming a medicine ball down to push-ups with the TRX.
There was probably a little over 20 people in the class with a wide range of ages and split probably between male and females. You can see how they have designed the program for all levels in mind.
Their website is informative with info such as the new client checklist with scheduling an orientation first and what to bring. In addition, it shows you how to find the gym located in Mellwood Arts Center which I highly recommend watching if you have never been there before. Classes are offered Monday through Saturday(morning and evening) with a monthly fee depending how many classes per week you are coming. Check them out and experience it for yourself just like Adam got started with his fitness journey.
