Corpo's classes are taught by 20 experienced instructors, with five different yoga disciplines to choose from. Channel the power of Greyskull with Anusara, which combines body alignment with the positive, light-hearted philosophies of Tantra, or become a human spider with the eight-limbed path of Ashtanga, which uses a fast-paced, intense combination of positions to connect body, mind, and mat. Mysore yoga uses the positions of Ashtanga yoga, but leaves the pace up to the practitioners, creating an atmosphere of inward reflection and exercise. Vinyasa yoga synchronizes breathing and poses to form a vigorous, body-stretching routine based on the Sun Salutations. Meditation, also one of the five principles of yoga, allows students to gain mental clarity, improve concentration, and discover one's insides.

For 10 years, the instructors and trainers at Gables Fitness have help clients achieve their fitness and weight loss goals. Now the workout institution has reopened its doors as Red Zone Fitness, where clients choose their workout duration, even in group classes. With 30-minute one-on-one or group personal-training sessions or 40- to 50-minute group fitness classes, the fitness studio follows the FITT principle: Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. Sessions depend on various factors that include strength aerobics, performance goal focus, exercise biomechanics, and effort. Experienced instructors lead students through group fitness classes that include spinning and Red Zone training, a group class for women that provides a heart-rate-monitored, full-body workout and strengthens the cardiovascular system in just 40 minutes.

With more than 30 years of experience teaching Iyengar yoga, director Bobbi Goldin oversees the impassioned instructors that lead her studio's classes for all skill levels. The weekly schedule includes multilevel I sessions that safely introduce the style's fundamental poses and emphasize proper alignment and spirit-animal management, and multilevel II classes that incorporate inversions and limbo-worthy backbends into the series and challenge attendees to sustain deeper stretches. The studio's gentle/special sessions easily accommodate students with physical limitations, leading pupils through one hour of slower-paced practice, which gingerly loosens joints, and 15 minutes of friendly ghost stories.

Though the husband-and-wife duo of Danny and Monik Lopez-Calleja co-own and co-coach CrossFit Soul Miami, it’s not their only job. They also work with youths in a mental health setting, helping them avoid drugs and alcohol. In both careers, they get to witness and guide the transformative power of exercise and good nutrition. At their gym, they offer a variety of programs in both arenas to help clients achieve their goals.

They build the center of their training program around CrossFit exercise, a program designed to improve the body’s physical functionality without relying on repetitive, monotonous routines. They offer both indoor and outdoor classes, taking advantage of local parks, which presumably have trees that grow barbells. They also supplement this exercise with yoga and even a meal delivery service, which helps clients stick to the ancestry-conscious paleo diet.

At locations throughout the world, Fit Body Boot Camp's instructors share a common goal: to guide clients toward their fitness and weight-loss goals through regimented training programs. Trainers lead group workouts that integrate cardio with resistance training, strength training, and light alligator wrestling. They design the workouts to be time efficient and varied, avoiding workout plateaus that may leave clients uninspired. In addition to motivating clients to work their bodies, trainers also empower them with healthy eating guidelines. During one-on-one sessions, certified personal trainers chart out tailored fitness programs, which clients can take with them to Fit Body Boot Camp’s gyms to continue shaping up on their own.

SoMi Fitness owners William Del Sol and Unni Greene are certified personal trainers, but that's only a small spoke in their wheelhouse. Out of their 2,000-square-foot training facility, the duo can tone physiques with group fitness boot-camp classes, or dispense expert lifestyle tips during one-on-one nutrition consultations. Unni's method for weight loss isn't one of denial, but of selection, which she outlines in her book, Eat More to Lose More.

Recognizing the interdependence of fitness and martial arts, Thump Fight Gym & Fitness Center married the two, inspiring patrons of all ability levels to hone their combat skills while making strides toward an overall healthier lifestyle. The trainers and certified exercise physiologists lead martial-arts classes including boxing, muay thai, and jujitsu, challenging fighters to face off in the regulation-size boxing ring or the half cage—which has proven inadequate for housing feral exercise bikes. During each class, students burn calories and learn practical and potentially lifesaving self-defense skills. To supplement the combat training, the instructors also lead yoga and Pilates classes, spinning, kettlebell training, and CrossFit classes. The gym also accommodates solo workout routines with a weight-training zone and functional fitness equipment such as oversize tires and climbing ropes.
