Students older than 5 years of age can scale a 24-foot wall studded with color-coded holds that illustrate the challenge level of each route, ascending on a personally tailored mission to improve strength, challenge coordination, and fine-tune mountain-goat impersonations.
T-3 Health and Fitness’s personal training sessions individualize workout regimens to suit customers of any ability level who are at least 8 years old. With decades of combined experience, the gym’s expert body sculptors build good workout habits, molding physiques with positive reinforcement and molding minds with dumbbells made from encyclopedias. Workout plans vary based on the trainer, with possible regimens including TRX, an exercise sequence designed to tone bodies by pitting body weight against gravity for increased resistance.
Xcelerate Training
A championship wrestler by the age of 10, Xcelerate Training owner Craig Marks developed a commitment to exercise early on, leading to a wrestling scholarship and national ranking as a college wrestler. Though a serious neck injury cut his wrestling career short, Craig has remained loyal to his fitness pursuits for more than 20 years, now helping others achieve their goals by designing personalized workouts based on his workout philosophy that combines muscular training, nervous-system training, cardio, and balanced nutrition.
This philosophy comes to life within Xcelerate Training's facility, where Craig and his staff of trainers steer fitness seekers to healthier bodies during both private and group training sessions. The Xcelerate team's creative style incorporates unique props and workouts that take place on an indoor stairway to help burn calories. A 24-foot rock-climbing wall adds a vertical dimension to workouts, as well as birthday parties and corporate mixers for mountain goats.
