Mimi Yoga Studio Expands to Coconut Grove

‍Mimi Yoga Studio, the multi-award-winning infrared heated yoga and Pilates studio in Wynwood, opens its second location at 2829 Bird Ave in Coconut Grove today. This expansion, coming just two years after the opening of the first studio, underscores the rapid success of founder Mimi Ghandour's vision.

"Our goal is to provide a welcoming environment for practitioners of all levels and a home for the ever-growing Mimi Yoga Community," says Ghandour. "Our growth and success has surpassed my wildest dreams, and I am grateful this expansion will allow us to introduce even more people to the life-changing practice of yoga.”

The new Coconut Grove studio will offer a variety of heated yoga classes, including power, vinyasa, and restorative flows, as well as Yogilates and traditional mat Pilates classes. In addition, one non-heated class will be offered weekly. Classes are designed for students of all levels, honoring Ghandour's belief that yoga is for the willing.

The new studio maintains Mimi Yoga's commitment to a luxurious experience and is designed to evoke a sense of tranquility. The Coconut Grove studio features natural elements with a contemporary twist, arches, and mermaid blue-hued tiled accents, and the brand's signature "Just Show Up" mirror in the reception area, which is sure to become the signature selfie spot just like it has in the Wynwood studio. The reception and retail areas include ample lockers and cubbies for students to store their belongings. There are two restrooms, each with a shower and well-stocked amenities.

The yoga room features two entrances framed by natural wood arches with frosted glass doors. Inside, deep aquamarine floors complement ombre ocean-blue walls, creating a serene atmosphere that allows up to 50 students to focus on their practice, dive deep, and go within. Floating arch-shaped LED illuminated mirrors in the space serve the dual purpose of allowing students to check their form while enhancing the vibe.

Students will find mats and towels available for rent, and each class concludes with a complimentary cold towel infused with Mimi Yoga's signature rose scent placed on students’ foreheads during final resting pose. Pilates props such as Bala bangles, Pilates Rings, Pilates Balls, and more are complimentary for those style classes.

The studio will also serve as a home for Mimi Yoga Teacher Trainings. The first 50-hour Mat Pilates Training with Master Instructor Starr Hawkins will begin on October 19, 2024. Mimi Yoga Teacher Training has graduated more than 400 yoga teachers via its 200-Hour Yoga-Alliance accredited training program.

The class schedule and pricing can be found on MimiYoga.com, and classes can be booked through MindBodyApp. Mimi Yoga is also on ClassPass. Follow @mimiyogastudio and @mimiyoga_official on Instagram for more details.

Fitness Professionals Can Work on Content Creation at Trainnr Studios in Delray

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.

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 a Fusion of Fitness and Wellness to Miami Beach

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

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.

Within Cycle Seven lies a trinity to balance and clarity: Cycling, Reiki, and Sound, which represent friction, light, and vibration.

  • Cycling- The 45 minute cycling class (The Journey 45) carries each rider through high intensity intervals, choreography and precision. The 10-bike studio offers an intimate setting perfect for riders of all levels and body types.
  • Reiki - This personal 60-minute session retreat is perfect for releasing stress or when seeking a deeper emotional healing. Reiki uses universal consciousness in the way of guided light energy to help clear blockages throughout the chakra system.
  • Sound - The group setting sound retreat encompasses the use of crystal singing bowls, chimes, and other grounding instruments that cascade the listeners in a bath of sound, cleansing the body on an energetic and cellular level.

What makes Cycle Seven unique:

"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. Self-discovery is best tested through experiences."

You should also know:

The polarity that is Cycle Seven. Where you can go from a complete physical workout on the bike, then step into complete and total relaxation in the sound sanctuary and healing room.

How to join in:

All bookings can be made through the Cycle Seven app available for both iPhone and Android users. Grand Opening pricing is here for a limited time! 45-minute group classes of Cycling or Sound are $25 each or $99 for a 5-pack. 60-minute Reiki sessions are $85 for a single session or $225 for a 3-pack. Purchases expire one year from purchase date.

Yoga Joint Midtown opened officially in August. If you haven't already stopped by (and what are you waiting for?!) here are the details on the newest yoga studio in Miami.

The experience:

Yoga Joint is a Yogi-owned and operated company that takes great pride in providing outstanding customer service to their members. You don’t just take a Yoga Joint class; you experience a Yoga Joint class! That means immersive sound, state-of-the-art infrared heat systems, shock-absorbent flooring, and lighting that changes color to match the intensity of the class. They owe their 360-degree approach to yoga and fitness to a unique combination of three hot classes – our Flow, FIIT, and Restore.

What makes Yoga Joint unique:

“We have focused on cultivating the ultimate experience for our members - and that begins before you ever walk through the doors. From our customized app that allows you to pick your favorite mat spot, earn YJ credit for referring a friend, or prepare for class with our exclusive pose library, we strive to make your experience easy, positive, uplifting, and motivating.”

Why members love it:

Yoga Joint member Mike Fetherston said, “When I first started doing yoga at Yoga Joint, I could barely touch my toes, was more than 155 pounds overweight...and in poor physical shape... And now, as a 49-year-old guy who was never that physically active, I can hold a handstand for over a minute! I love what my body can do. Because of yoga, I am now in the best shape of my life."

The extras:

Every Yoga Joint studio enjoys complimentary lockers, spa-inspired showers, and change rooms with bath products, hair dryers, towels, and anything else you could possibly need to look and feel your best after class. And if you forgot to bring your favorite post-workout clothes, you can always swing by one of the on-site boutiques.
