Little Rock Health and Fitness

At Sotaira's Organic Spa & Yoga Studio, staff members instill visitors with a newfound sense of confidence by gussying up exteriors and keeping bodies fit with yoga and Pilates classes. Slimming body wraps help to purge inches more effectively than a corset imbued with the force of 10,000 bear hugs, and aestheticians hydrate visages with such organic ingredients as chamomile or antioxidant-rich red grapes. The massage therapists' mental rolodex of modalities includes relaxing and therapeutic techniques as well as maternity treatments for expectant mothers or hatching ostrich eggs. Intent on refining posture, instructors of the center's Vinyasa yoga and Pilates mat classes help to keep bodies and minds trim regardless of students' skill level or age.

The staff at Health & Fitness In The Heights focus on the needs of each exerciser with a fully stocked gym and a handful of personalized services. A surveillance system stands guard overhead as patrons access the gym’s fleet of ellipticals, treadmills, bikes, and strength-training machinery 24/7. During staffed hours, Zumba, kickboxing, and boot-camp classes inspire students to build sweaty camaraderie and burn lingering calories. The gym’s personal trainers also tailor workouts to target a spectrum of bodily woes with exercise regimens, nutrition plans, and stolen pages from Richard Simmons's diary.

At Legit Fit Boot Camp, there are no machines. There are no televisions. There aren't even mirrors. The center's certified instructors take a no-nonsense approach to building strength and endurance by using simple weights, balls, and bars atop a stark rubber floor in each of their diverse fitness routines. Though the staff strives to stave off needless distractions, they detest boredom as well. That's why they keep muscles guessing by combining numerous exercises from different workouts and varying those exercises each day. The curriculum of jumping jacks, squats, and hopscotch games on hot coals ensure students never know what to expect, and the staff's enthusiastic demeanor keeps them focused on their calorie-burning mission.
