This is the motto at the new express fitness center, In Motion USA, which opened this month at 4 North Ortonville Road.
FITT stands for Frequency, Intensity, Type and Time and is the fitness philosophy at the co-ed center owned by Jessica Arundel.
‘I want to offer new, exciting, innovative ways for people to get healthy, stay healthy and have fun while they’re doing it,? said Arundel.
To achieve that goal, In Motion USA has Nautilus plate-selectorized equipment, weight-lifting equipment and strength-training equipment. There are ten pieces of cardiovascular equipment, including treadmills, an elliptical machine, recumbent bikes and a row machine. Additionally, there are four stations that have components that work every major muscle group and 1-75-pound dumbbells (free weights).
Members can also take advantage of a variety of group fitness classes, including a strength-training class using resistance balls and weights which will involve lots of abdominal work, Less Stress Yoga taught by instructor Nancy Boch, and Boot Camp, a high-intensity aerobics class which Arundel leads and says is ‘guaranteed to make you sweat.?
In Boot Camp, members push their heartrates to the maximum, bring it down, and repeat the process. The goal is to build lung capacity and aerobic endurance.
Members can come in as often as they want and workout for as long as they want. They can take as many fitness classes as they wish. New members are taught how to use the equipment and staff members are always available to answer questions.
For an additional cost, members can consult with a nutritional counselor who is on staff. There are also personal trainers and a massage therapist for hire and a tanning bed for members only. Tanning supplies, energy snacks, and fitness journals in which to track your progress are all available for purchase.
Convenience, size, and affordability sets In Motion USA apart from larger clubs. Arundel is able to offer a great opportunity to get fit at a fraction of the price because there are no frills like a juice bar or sauna.
One-year memberships are as low as $35 per month. Family, corporate and student plans are also available.
Hours: Monday-Friday from 6 a.m.- 9 p.m. and Saturdays from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Details: (248) 627-7020 or www.inmotionusa.net.
