Tuesday, January 22, 2008 Celebrating fitness and healthy lifestyle
ON ITS second year of celebrating fitness and healthy lifestyle, MetroLifestyle Fitness Center and Spa continues the lead in advocating innovative fitness programs while integrating fun, camaraderie and wholesome activities with a series of events for the whole month of January.
At the start of 2008, MetroLifestyle launched the Power Classes, fitness programs that are based on Europe's Les Mills Body Training System, the world's leading group fitness system.
On January 3-4, guest fitness instructor Fritz Freiri introduced Power Attack, a high energy, sports-inspired cardio workout that aids in building strength and stamina by increasing heart and lung capacity through a full-body exercise.
Now part of the fitness center's group exercise program, it combines athletic aerobic movements with strength and stabilization drills.
MetroLifestyle also recently launched Power Boxing. Powered by the triumphs of Manny Pacquiao and the highly celebrated weight loss of showbiz personalities due to the sport, the sports workout is fast becoming popular workout not only by boxing enthusiasts but also by other gym buffs.
MetroLifestyle Power Boxing instructors Gerry Cimeni and Fernando "Tata" Conde are the force behind the boxing drills and one-on-one check sparring.
Cimeni holds a certification in Boxing Referee and Judging, and was the assistant boxing coach of the University of Mindanao Class A Varsity Players, and a bronze medalist in the National Open Boxing Tournament. He was also gold medalist in the New Bataan Open Boxing Tournament and in the Kadayawan Boxing Tournament.
Both boxing trainors are also adept in creating personalized Power Boxing Programs for members to attain the maximum benefits of the sport.
As an opening weekend salvo of a month long celebration, MetroLifestyle treated non-members and guests with an Open House/Free Gym Trials last January 12 and 13. MetroLifestyle also held a very successful 2nd Anniversary Fun Run on January 13, where participants did not only get to enjoy the Fun Run but were also able to help and support MetroLifestyle's favorite charity, the street children of the Rescue-A-Child Foundation.
More exciting anniversary events include the Metro Man & Metro Woman Gym Challenge, Power Boxing Challenge, Power Cycling Challenge and the "Best of the Best" Mini-Aero Marathon Competitions from January 14-17. Plus the official launched of two more Power Classes: Power Pump and Power Vibe before the end of the month long celebration.
