KOLOA — Space Age liquid cooling technology. An exercise bike named CAROL that can simulate the tracking of a tiger. Digital body scan. A resistance machine that stores a user’s workout history on a cloud server.
These are the features of SmartFit Method, a new boutique gym owned and operated by fitness instructor Jodee Burris.
“I’m very excited about this. My passion is to see people transform,” Barris said during a tour of her smart-fit facility across from the Coroa Post Office on Coroa Road. Told to. “We have fitness, nutrition and accountability. I think these are the three key pillars that people need to change.”
Burris is joined by Rob Darnbrough, an entrepreneurial friend and business partner who founded the SmartFit Method in Southern California.
When reviewing each machine in the relatively small space of the gym, their enthusiasm for exercise and technology was clear.
Burris started with Vasper, a “cold HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)” machine that uses NASA-derived technology and a compression cuff that is strapped to the user.
“By lowering body temperature, you can work at a higher level without getting tired. Compression traps red blood cells in your muscles and accumulates lactic acid,” explained Barris. “When I’m here, I’m holding my body in that lactic acid state for 21 minutes.”
According to Burris, the end results include improved recovery from effective but less impactful training.
Dahnblow agreed and said he found a busper machine after maintaining a heart condition that interfered with his traditional exercise therapy.
“At the age of 49, overtraining caused an aneurysm in the aorta,” said Danbro. “Overtraining is harmful. You’re not doing anything. You need to be aware of it.”
That is the core of the smart fit method. Like many fitness businesses, gyms promote more results in less time. To be precise, it’s 20 minutes of training three times a week. Burris and Darnbrough believe that you can do it on a machine that increases the effectiveness of your training and reduces the risk of injury.
“Jody and I started talking about this being the future of fitness,” said Darnbro, adjusting a computerized adaptive resistance machine. “The lack of fitness is due to the fact that they use the term” health and fitness “as they are. However, “health” is “disease-free.” “Fitness” is “physiological headroom”. We are trying to increase the distance between us and the grave. “
Darnbrough extended the Smart Fit philosophy by running a routine to graph each person on the screen in real time on an adaptive resistance machine.
“When we go for a run, we do it for fitness, but we shouldn’t call it” health and fitness “because it can worsen joints,” he argues. Did. “We need to be careful to distinguish between fitness and health.”
The unfamiliar design of adaptive resistance machines caused a short confusion, but its effectiveness was clear.
Then I lay down on a 45 degree Fahrenheit cooling mat aimed at reducing myalgia.
“I think this is a way for people who are sick, overweight, dealing with health, dealing with injuries, and not working in traditional gyms and group fitness classes,” Burris said. Mr. says. “Anything can be avoided here.”
The Coroa Smart Fit Method will open its grand opening on Monday, March 21st.
Burris encourages interested people to book a free demo workout at smartfitmethod.com. The first 50 members will receive $ 50 from their first year’s monthly membership.
The regular membership fee is $ 349 per month. The 5-session and 10-session packages are priced at $ 125 and $ 200, respectively.
