Anytime Fitness, which boasts 1689 clubs in North America, makes it easier for average folks to etch out time for exercise by doing one simple thing: staying open 24 hours a day for 365 days a year. As fit seekers challenge themselves on cardio and strength machines and hoist free weights in clean, well-stocked facilities, security monitoring ensures they're safe and producing enough sweat to meet official government standards. Members can also ramp up their exercise regimens with the help of Anytime Fitness' staff of personal trainers, who demonstrate moves and sling motivating tips. After workouts, guests can shower in the private restrooms or bop into one of the tanning booths available 24 hours a day.
It's Wednesday and a group of newcomers shuffles into an empty fitness studio. Some anxiously fidget with their fingers as they see the professional floor where they'll be dancing, and others take deep breaths and stretch out their limbs like they've done countless times at the gym. This motley mix of strangers is what Gwenda Hansen envisioned when she founded Be Bad Hip Hop.
Hansen, who struggled with weight as a young adult and started choreographing when she was 13 years old, shares her Be Bad Hip Hop dance-fitness routines in a supportive, accepting, and empowering environment. As the infectious melodies of Top 40 music escape the sound system's quarantine and fill the communal space, newcomers relax into the easy-to-follow moves, and regulars of all ages lose themselves in the hourlong sequence of club-style, hip-hop shimmies and shakes led by Hansen or one of her skilled instructors.
With one swipe of a keycard, members of Lifestyle Fitness 24/7 can work out anytime they want. The keycard's magnetic strip is thin enough to slide under the facility's doors and smart enough to then unlock the door at any hour, giving exercisers access to rows of Precor strength-training and cardio equipment that face mounted flat-screen TVs. Augmenting the convenient workouts, Lifestyle Fitness 24/7 features standup and lay-down tanning beds, personal training, and complimentary towel service and WiFi.
Hands-on learning and playtime in two of JW Tumbles’s interactive classes—along with the lifetime membership, which gets you discounts on JW Tumbles’s open gyms, parties, and camps—helps children explore the far reaches of their cranial caverns. Parents with toddlers younger than 3 years old can enroll in parent-participation classes such as My Big Messy Art Class or Wobblers Class, where baby bodybuilders 11- to 18-months-old practice tumbling and balance to increase motor skills and decrease the need for sippy-cup creatine shakes. Ages 3 and up can fly solo (parents can watch from the sidelines if they wish) during age-appropriate and highly interactive independent classes. The Winners Class teaches 7- to 9-year-olds sporting skills, and 3- to 4.5-year-olds prep for kindergarten in the Stompers Class.
As the morning begins, a row of toddlers takes turns tumbling feet over head while their parents guide them into the correct movement. Later, school-age kids sit in a circle, legs stretched before them as they try to touch their toes. The trained staff of My Gym Children's Fitness Center imbue kids with life skills through music, physical activities, and games. Many classes incorporate physical exercises with social and developmental skills, while summer camps are also available seasonally. All classes take place in a well-padded room, led by staff trained in child development and fluent in Muppet.
Children naturally believe that life is all about having fun. This requires the instructors at My Gym Children's Fitness Center to perform two seemingly incompatible tasks: helping kids lay a strong physical, emotional, and cognitive foundation and letting them laugh and play to their hearts' content. The staff welcomes the challenge. Grouping kids by age into nearly a dozen different classes, the instructors teach students aged 6 weeks through 13 years the importance and fun of socializing, exercising, and eating broccoli without using their taste buds.
In Waddlers classes, kids aged 14–22 months progress from crawling to walking, fine-tuning their motor skills to meet the demands of childhood staples such as tricycling and building block towers. More advanced courses, meanwhile, teach proto-persons more specialized skills such as basic karate or ballet techniques.
