Ahwatukee’s only private fitness studio has added a new option for clients.
The Body Firm Private Fitness Studio recently added a functional circuit open gym in addition to the private and semi-private personal training sessions that have been available since opening in 2007.
Doug and Tori Thompson, owners and certified personal trainers, called the functional circuit open gym an alternative way for clients to reach their fitness goals.
“Our private open gym allows people to work out at their own pace, doing only the exercises they want to focus on or using the instructional videos located at each training station,” Doug said.
Appointments are required and only six clients are allowed per session, he said, adding, “This newest option still allows clients access to our clean, secure, professional, and private facility.”
Tori called their new option “a great option to crowded and generic gyms.”
“This is for people who want more control of their fitness regime,” she explained.
The couple noted that since opening, their studio has offered specialized programs such as a Titleist golf fitness program, injury prevention and rehabilitation, functional training, stretching techniques, and core and stability practices.
Ann Scheck, a client for more than 10 years said, “I love the new Open Circuit option, which empowers me to take all the techniques learned from my Body Firm trainers, choose my own schedule, and further develop and improve my own fitness. It’s like having my own private gym with state-of-the-art equipment.”
Doug said clients who make appointments for their sessions at his studio “are more likely to exercise than those who don’t so it was important to include appointment-based training in these sessions.”
He also said Body Firm allows clients to either do their own workout or use training stations with videos.
That kind of choice “has been well-received, especially by those clients who have been working out with us for longer periods of time,” he said.
“The monitors show people the correct and safe techniques to use for beginning to advanced levels,” he added. “It’s also a nice addition to include along with a private or semi-private personal training package.”
Tori said the new option “has allowed us to offer hours and days, such as Sundays, that we didn’t offer before.
“It’s just another way to help our clients with their unique fitness journeys,” she said. “We think it’s an unrivaled experience.”
