Zoom Fitness opens in Gilford
GILFORD — Women in the Lakes Region now have a new option for getting and staying physically fit in a comfortable environment that's kind to your body and your budget. Zoom Fitness offers a circuit training program which combines fun with fitness.
"Most important to me in opening the club was that women would have a fitness routine that they actually look forward to", said Jewel Fox, owner of Zoom Fitness. "The thirty-minute routine is done at your own pace and has as much to do with socializing as it does with fitness and wellness."
She says the focus is not limited to weight loss, although that is an added bonus, but keeping our bodies moving and our minds healthy. The club is open to women of all ages with many of the members being middle aged and senior citizens.
"Our oldest member is in her eighties and I only hope I have her energy and enthusiasm when I'm her age," said Fox. In addition to providing an enjoyable exercise experience, Zoom Fitness is designed to be easy and affordable. "The equipment and routine are what I call "no tech", Fox said. "I wanted it to be simple, no membership fee or application fee, you simply come in, take part in the personal circuit training, and then the fun and fitness begin.
She says "Members move from station to station with just 30 seconds at each before moving on, all with upbeat music that makes the time fly by and the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
The club offers low monthly fees and senior citizens age 65 and older receive a 20% discount. Zoom Fitness is conveniently located in the Paugus Bay Plaza, just past the China Bistro at 131 Lake Street in Gilford.
For more information call club manager Kim Gustafson at 455-8507.
