We are getting very excitted about launching our new MMA program with Xtreme Couture here in Vancouver. Four of us attended a MMA fantasy camp with two hall of fame fighters; Randy Couture (UFC) and Ray Sefo (K1). We learned a lot and this will be just the start of our partnership with them. September 1st will bring more variety and some unique fitness classes disingned by Randy himself. Look forward to these changes; “Fighter Fit” classes, womens self defense, new curriculum and new grading systems. Be sure to take advantage of Phase 1 pricing (30% off) until September 1st.

Studeo55 gets tagged as an aggressive, intense and competitive health club. We are, but we are also welcoming, encouraging and compassionate. We are not for everyone. The people that love Studeo55 are the people that want to find “their best”. Some are Olympians and some haven’t exercised in 15 years, but all of them share this common denominator. We use all different types of exercise to put our members in a position where they will be tested. Some choose running, some do Crossfit, some train MMA, some even do Yoga (yes for some, yoga requires their best). It doesn’t matter to us as long as they are giving it their all.

We have a lot of members and team-mates who embrace running. Without fail: non-runners, Crossfitters, Yogis and Fighters ask these folks: “Why Do You Run?”. We’ve found that this question gets often gets answered incorrectly: ranging from “it fits my schedule” to “I like being outside”. If these are people’s real answers – then they are missing the power of running. When runners “get it”, their answers sound like this: “running puts me in a place where my limits are tested at the simplest and most potent levels. Running forces me to find “my best”: that’s why I run!”

Studeo 55 personal trainer/resident marathon runner Kevin Laface is training to complete the Vancouver Triathlon on September 6th in less than 2h35m. Watch the preparation and mindset you need to conquer a challenge like this.

Here’s two options for you after an intense workout:
1. Infrared sauna: We gave our new sauna its own room and are offering unlimited sauna use for $50/month. 

Using an infrared sauna can improve strength and vitality, relieve joint and muscle pain, and help improve your immune system and skin conditions like acne and eczema.

2. Deep Tissue Massage: We created another new room for a top notch massage table and hired Alison McKenzie – a local Registered Massage Therapist with experience in treating athletes.  Ask the front desk for rates.  These massages are often covered or partially covered under most medical plans – so ask for a receipt for reimbursement.

Natalie is also still available for Swedish/Thai fusion massages, and you can still book the yoga room for your private massage.

Until the end of the month, if you book a massage, your friend gets one for FREE! Oh ya. 604-684-0544.

Girls! With all this talk of MMA fighting, you didn’t think we forgot about you, did you?

We have hired three new yoga instructors for our new yoga classes.

And in September we will be relaunching Pilates classes.

Private yoga and Pilates sessions will still be offered, and are available throughout the summer. Be sure to book a few days in advance.
