Fountain Hills Gyms and Fitness

The trainers at Pulse Fitness understand that with a jam-packed schedule, the average person faces a difficult task in just finding time to work out. That's why they focus primarily on personal training, designing custom routines for guests so that they get the most out of every visit. Every regimen they design emphasizes functional training through exercises that follow the body's natural movement patterns, such as squatting, lifting, and crab walking.

They also keep the gym open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so clients always have access to equipment such as dumbbells, treadmills, and strength-training machines. Pulse's trainers also cater to those who like group workouts with regular boot-camp classes.

With locations in Scottsdale and Fountain Hills, Yoga Village is something of a fixture in the greater Phoenix community. It doesn’t hurt that the studio emphasizes building relationships almost as much as it does helping people get in shape through yoga. Certified instructors teach nearly 60 yoga classes per week, meaning that everyone from experienced yogis to absolute beginners can find a suitable class. Restorative yoga classes help release chronic tension, while flow styles combine yoga sequences with fluid movements designed to generate body heat. When students aren’t arching their backs and barking ferociously in downward dog poses, they can attend the studio’s monthly workshops and teacher trainings.

Floo-id Yoga's atmosphere radiates warmth in both the literal and figurative sense. Owner and certified yoga instructor Beth Beary takes a friendly and inclusive approach to each of her yoga classes. Whether they are performed in 87- to 90-degree heat or at room temperature, she welcomes students of all experience levels to hone their practice with her. During hot yoga and hot flow, the modern practice space warms up to help muscles melt deeply into stretches while preventing injury and detoxifying the body. The more gentle, slower-paced classes—such as restorative and yin yoga—utilize supportive props and a focus on meditation to nurture the body and mind while calming skittish spirit animals.

Fit Body Club specializes in fun, dynamic, energetic indoor boot camps that use resistance training to help clients burn calories, shed fat, and sculpt their physiques. Boot camps include motivation and accountability in a nonintimidating atmosphere, ensuring members never feel as if they’re in a military boot camp or the final round of a championship-series staring contest.

La Bella Vita Health & Wellness takes a holistic approach to promoting well-being. Rather than simply removing unwanted fat, its wellness experts address the underlying causes of weight gain, jump-starting metabolisms and blocking cravings for hamburgers topped with sprinkles with injections of B vitamins and HCG. Instead of treating allergies with painful shots and drugs, they use biofeedback and laser therapy, and they believe hormones should be balanced and gender tailored and the liver detoxed for bodies to have any chance of achieving optimal health.

Guided by licensed chiropractor Michael Temple, the health gurus at Physician’s Body and Face foster healthy, happy bodies with weight-loss programs, body wraps, and self-mastery technology. Those looking to overhaul out-of-shape physiques can participate in a one-on-one consultation, which utilizes advanced technology to analyze each client's physical makeup. The staff creates a custom diet and exercise stratagem based on the results of the consultation, which may reveal a need for weight-loss plans or hormone-, sugar-, or tightrope-balancing regimens. The center’s infrared sauna further encourages weight loss as heated light rays burrow deep into the body to purge fat cells of toxins. Physician’s Body and Face’s menu also boasts more advanced treatments, including exercising with oxygen, whole-body vibration, a biochemist-created herbal anticellulite body wrap, and ZenFrames, which help stimulate brain-wave activity with synchronized yet relaxing pulses of light and sound.
