Originally an online fitness platform, Trainnr Studios in Delray Beach is now helping with content creation for local trainers. Learn more about the concept below!

The experience:

Trainnr Studios is a private fitness studio for content creation. It was started because they saw a shortage of access to quality fitness studios in South Florida where personal trainers and health and wellness content creators could create high quality digital content. Now they work with trainers from various fitness categories to create high-quality online workouts, programs, and content. They also provide digital content creators with a facility and professional production team so all they have to worry about when it comes to content creation is showing up.

What makes Trainnr Studios unique:

Trainers are always strapped for time, and it can be their biggest limiting factor when it comes to making a good living. If you are looking to level up your digital content while freeing up hours in your week to maximize your earnings potential, there is a team at Trainnr Studios to support you 100% of the way.

"We are the only dedicated private fitness studio in South Florida that offers professional digital content creation," said CEO Jeffry Smith. "When you come through our doors you get complete access to a dedicated fitness studio and team that can be used to create any and all content needed for you social media channels, website, or apps."

You should also know:

"Trainers are most effective when they can focus on doing what they do best - training and motivating their clients," said Smith. "Leveraging services like ours saves tons of time and effortlessly put out the highest quality content customers and clients demand in 2023."

Why trainers love it:

They love the time and effort they save by letting Trainnr Studios handle all the work that goes into shooting, editing and publishing digital content to grow their following or online workout library.

The extras:

There is a large list of equipment that trainers have access to when they use our studio, including but not limited to Rouge Kettlebells and dumbbells ranging from 5 to 100 lbs, a full squat rack, Olympic bar and bumper plates in all sizes, adjustable Rogue bench, and the best in class videography equipment and lighting.

How to join in:

All pricing is custom quoted packages that are customized and designed to fit a trainers need. There are packages starting as low as $249.

Find a Personalized Fitness Experience at DFit Training Studio in Fort Lauderdale

Motion is medicine at DFit Training in Fort Lauderdale, where the priority is movement, mindfulness, and recovery. Find out how good you could feel at this new studio by Danny Fam!

Motion is medicine at DFit Training in Fort Lauderdale, where the priority is movement, mindfulness, and recovery. Find out how good you could feel at this new studio by Danny Fam!

The experience:

DFit Training Studio was established in 2015 within a 900 square foot personal training studio in Pompano Beach. After being forced to pivot due to COVID-19, Danny Fam designed and developed the new location in Fort Lauderdale from the ground up. Now DFit Training Studio is fueled by state-of-the-art equipment and industry-best fitness instruction in a 2,500 square foot space.

Combining elements of exercise science, movement, mindfulness, technology & recovery, the DFit Studio is innovatively engineered to optimize both physical and mental fitness while enhancing human performance. The DFit Studio features interior elements with a high-contrast palette of bright whites, rich charcoals, elegant raw woods, and natural greens against sleek elements of black porcelain tile and white oak. The Studio has a unique zoning approach that facilitates high and low energy zones, consisting of a dedicated zone for strength and free weights with rubber flooring, turf flooring for functional training, a premium cardio zone, and a glass-enclosed private yoga studio with white oak luxury vinyl tile flooring.

DFit Training Studio soft-opened this fall and plans to host a Grand Opening on Friday, January 13, 2023.

What makes DFit Training Studio unique:

"We offer goal-specific, science-based, structured programming that is completely customized to the individual," said Danny Fam, Owner and Founder. "Through one of the assessments (The Functional Movement Screen), we are able to determine where the imbalances or asymmetries are in one’s movement and uncover where one’s greatest movement opportunities lie. Cookie-cutter programs online also make the assumption that everyone moves functionally, and this is rarely the case in my experience. As a result, fitness programs are built on dysfunction, and this is a sure path to injury."

You should also know:

DFit Training Studio is able to provide a unique, personalized environment. Here you are able to get the quality and attention you would expect of a boutique studio, with a variety of workout options that would rival a larger gym. You can find a balance between personal training, small group personal training, private yoga, massage, recovery, and premium cardio equipment.

Another differentiator is what Fam calls their "strategic location."

"We've opened our studio side-by-side to our strategic partners Liquivida Lounge, a medical spa that offers nutrient and vitamins IV therapy and innovative aesthetics and weight loss solutions," said Fam. "After cross-marketing our business for the last 10 years, we are now able to serve as a 'one stop shop' for everything wellness and fitness. Members are encouraged to get their blood work done by Liquivida where we can then receive vital information from their Doctors and Practitioner's regarding our clients results. We are in a unique position to fine tune our clients programs down to the cellular level, prescribing them with the most individualized programs that enhances not only their fitness, but their recovery and lifestyle."

Why members love it:

Members value the highly-personalized fitness experience driven by a complete suite of innovation through DFit's digital training platform, Mywellness from Technogym. Each member is prescribed with an individualized training program designed around their specific needs and goals that will improve their lifestyle, keeping them active in the gym, at home, and wherever they are. Members also love the upscale vibe of the studio, making fitness feel like luxury.

The extras:

Amenities include restrooms, showers, full-sized lockers, retail and apparel, front and rear parking, private glass enclosed yoga studio, recovery room, filtered water fountains, espresso, and snack bar.

How to join in:

Their monthly subscription model or "Prescription Based Training" membership includes training as well as open gym access for members to use on their non-training days. Training options vary from private 1-on-1, semi-private (2 people), or small group training (4 members). Members can chose to train one, two, or three times per week and are billed month-to-month in advance with no contract or initiation fees. Their training package model includes training without open gym access. Packages can be purchased as 5-pack, 10-pack, or 20-pack at discounted rates.

Cycle Seven is bringing you a fusion of physical fitness and mental wellness at their new studio on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach!

The experience:

Created by Frank Vomero and co-founded together with Susan Della Giustina, Cycle Seven is a small group fitness boutique with an intimate setting that allows each rider, listener, and participant the opportunity to receive individual attention from the instructor while being supported by the entire group.

"Cycle Seven is reshaping the way Miami Beach does wellness," said Frank Vomero, creator and co-founder. "We are here to help the individual grow so that they may feel confident and excited to go out and give their highest version of self back to the greater community. It starts with YOU, the One. Without the One the Whole does not exist. A balanced approach to life is essential when allowing oneself to master the scale of pleasure and discipline.

Human Transformation Program 54D to Open New Studio in New York City this Fall

Fitness brand 54D will open its first studio in New York City this month, marking the beginning of the company’s national expansion plans. The new 6,041-square-foot studio will accommodate 120 members per cycle, with a maximum of 30 members per individual class.

Fitness brand 54D will open its first studio in New York City this month, marking the beginning of the company’s national expansion plans.  The new 6,041-square-foot studio will accommodate 120 members per cycle, with a maximum of 30 members per individual class.

With a no-excuses approach, 54D’s signature 54-day program features high intensity group training, nutrition, recovery and community. Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, 54D has received global acclaim after founder and former professional soccer player Rodrigo Garduño took to Instagram amid pandemic lockdowns and motivated hundreds of thousands of people around the world to stay positive and healthy.

“We have always been a catalyst of transformation. We conceive techniques to train the mind and body and prepare our community (or participants) to break limits to achieve results,” said Garduño, founder and creator of 54D. “Our expansion in New York City seemed like the perfect position to continue the brand's evolution, following our vision to make this program accessible to more people. 54D in New York City will introduce people to the new version of themselves.”

Besides its physical locations, the brand also exploded digitally in over 90 countries with 54D ON, the online version of the brand’s signature 54-day program that offers a state-of-the-art at-home workout experience, and, earlier this year, launched an Amazon Alexa Skill, where users are able to access quick workouts and get inspiration directly from the brand’s founder.

“Since we started offering our online program, we have had so much interest from various markets to bring our on-site program to them,” said Omar Yunes, CEO of 54D. “People want to experience immersive, in-person training. It’s a program unlike any other. We are proud to begin our national expansion and give people the opportunity to try the program on-site. We felt New York City was the perfect place to kick off our expansion and are excited to open our doors this fall.”

The New York City studio will be located at 125 W. 25th Street. 54D currently has multiple studios in Miami, Mexico, Colombia, and is slated to open in Los Angeles and Broward County in 2023. For more information, visit www.54d.com.

Mimi Ghandour Debuts Yoga Studio in Miami

Mimi Ghandour, founder of online yoga platform and lifestyle brand Mimi Yoga, has announced the opening of Mimi Yoga Studio, her first brick and mortar hot yoga studio. Located in the heart of Wynwood, Mimi Yoga Studio is scheduled to open on Monday, October 31.

Mimi Ghandour, founder of online yoga platform and lifestyle brand Mimi Yoga, has announced the opening of Mimi Yoga Studio, her first brick and mortar hot yoga studio. Located in the heart of Wynwood, Mimi Yoga Studio is scheduled to open on Monday, October 31.

Unveiling a safe, welcoming space that celebrates community, kindness, authenticity, inclusivity, and a sense of lightness is Ghandour’s longtime dream brought to life. “I am honored to have cultivated a global community that allows like-minded people to connect with one another from around the world,” she says. “I wanted to create a physical space that will serve as a home for this community and for anyone seeking true connection, both on and off the mat.”

When entering Mimi Yoga Studio, guests are embraced by an oversized, white oak archway, a design theme that carries throughout the studio. Behind the frosted glass doors leading to the practice room, an immediate sense of serenity washes over. Before even stepping onto their mat, aquamarine travertine floors and ombre, ocean blue walls lull yogis into a sea of tranquility, allowing them to ‘go deep’ – deep into practice, deep into breath, deep into self. A warm glow from LED-illuminated mirrors enhances the depth of connection.

The studio is equipped with storage lockers to safely store belongings, open cubbies for students to store their shoes, as well as a shower for those who need to quickly freshen up post-class. Mats, towels, blocks and ankle weights will be available. An array of merchandise by rotating local artists and women-owned businesses will be available at the studio’s store.

Known for her signature power flows, enchanting mantras, and positive, infectious energy, Mimi will lead classes, teacher trainings and workshops in the studio. With multiple classes held throughout the day, seven days per week, she has also curated a lineup of several, sought-after Miami instructors who each bring their unique expertise to the Mimi Yoga Studio. Classes are designed for students of all levels and include power vinyasa, vinyasa flow, and restorative. Students will seal their practice with a complimentary cold, rose essential oil-infused towel placed gently on their foreheads during final resting pose, savasana.

The studio will also serve as home to Mimi’s Yoga Alliance-certified, 200-Hour Mimi Yoga Teacher Training program. Mimi has certified 170 yoga students both in-person and online since her first teacher training in 2021. Her sixth, 10-week yoga teacher training began October 3.

Mimi Yoga Studio will also host events, including a free, monthly community class for the public. The class schedule and pricing can be found on MimiYoga.com and classes can be booked through the MINDBODY app.

Mimi Yoga Studio is located at 278 NW 27th Street in Miami. Visit mimiyoga.com for more information and follow on Instagram at @mimiyogastudio and @mimiyoga_official.

"Simulated Altitude Training is our competitive edge. There is no other gym that offers HIIT classes at elevation and we are the first to do it. I can't wait for Miami to be the first to try it," said founder and CEO Varun Varadaraj. "AIRLAB is truly a unique concept that's bringing what was only accessible to athletes to everyone. Our entire brand is also centered around community and building a community around the brand. What we love most about fitness is its ability to bring people together and help them reach new heights. AIRLAB's brand ethos is built around this and we can't wait to help people reach their peak in all facets of life and not just fitness."
