He'll get you feeling energized so you can finish out your work week and prepare for the weekend! #TheClubAbove

You know that Meg is a huge believer that everything counts. Any movement you can get is positive. But, when it comes to training your back, there are some areas through the back chain that are more difficult to get at with regular bodyweight exercises. However, by simply adding a few therabands to your home gym, you can get in a phenomenal full body workout that really addresses strengthening through your back. Join Meg now to learn more! : Meg Sharp... #TheClubAbove

You've got to have your own back! It's the backbone that sets the tone for all your other movement and maintains the integrity of your spine (posture). It certainly deserves your love and attention. Train it at least once a week to keep it strong, tight, and steady. And the best part is you don't need weights to do so. Add in some resistance bands and get to work! : Wellness With Penny ... #TheClubAbove

So many of us are busier right now than we’ve ever been before. Because of this, that might mean you have to send the kids outside and steal 20 minutes to get your workout in.

We're approaching the end of 2020 and many of us are looking to make resolutions and goals to get stronger, fitter, healthier next year. When it comes to doing strengthening and stretching exercises to help you move better, an important life rule applies: You must learn to crawl before you can walk, walk before you can run. Always learn the fundamentals to build a strong foundation. This way you'll have a steady ground to build on for life. : Wellness With Penny ... #TheClubAbove

What exactly is it about intense exercise that seems to confer so many psychological benefits? Higher levels of blood flow to the brain is considered one of the most potent mechanisms. And the higher heart and respiration rates due to high intensity activities will do that for sure. But what about simply focusing more? What about using your brain to make the intensity of the movement higher? Engage different or more muscle fibers? Create higher levels of tensions in unexpecte...d areas? Does exercising with higher mental engagement and mental intensity help? I bet it does. Try a few intense moves with Meg here. : Meg Sharp #TheClubAbove

Merry Christmas! Wherever this day may find you - even if it's nothing like you've ever experienced before - we hope it's full of joy. #TheClubAbove

Before COVID, Leslie had a very regular weekly Pilates routine at the Club. And then everything changed... After struggling to find her sweet spot, she reconnected with Marvin and they began their virtual Pilates training! COVID disrupted my weekly Pilates routine, and while I tried several different websites to continue training, I never felt I got a full workout. I started Virtual Training sessions with Marvin about a month ago and find I get a lot more out of my sessions ...with him. He is helping me to coax my body back into Pilates fighting shape by targeting my weaker areas and building strength so I have the confidence to push myself harder. I feel much better after every workout and have more energy to tackle the week. In the absence of face to face training, Virtual Training is the next best thing. If you've been working out on your own but find that you just aren't getting the results you expect or are finding yourself frustrated, it's time for you to reach out. Our experts know exactly how you're feeling. They'll create challenging workouts just for you, and will help ensure you keep precise form so you can maximize your movements! : [email protected] : Marvin #TheClubAbove

After everything came to a crashing halt in March, William began to realize that the missed trips to the Club were starting to wear on his health and fitness. So, he reached out to Director of Personal Training and all around superstar Lauren Fernandes, to see how she could help him from home. And, thus, their virtual personal training journey began "After some trial and error with cameras and finding tools to create resistance, we started our VPT journey. Both of us wer...e unsure how it was going to work at the beginning, as I live in a small, downtown condo and had no training equipment, other than an old yoga mat. Almost six months later, I am proud to say I have been working out with Lauren consistently and virtually twice a week throughout my experience of working from home. Without our scheduled workout times, I would undoubtedly fail to prioritize time for fitness. During our time on camera together, we do a variety of comprehensive workouts, which include resistance training and cardio, using video-conference features of our computers, together with a towel, one set of dumbbells, a chair and, of course, my old yoga mat. The workouts are productive, hard, and fun! Virtual personal training has been essential to my general health, both physical and mental, during this time of working from home, and I highly recommend it. Although I look forward to returning to the gym, I plan to continue with virtual personal training while working from home. If you could benefit from some virtual training this fall, please reach out to Lauren to get started! : [email protected] : Lauren Fernandes #TheClubAbove
