For the past three years, Mark Moreland and the trainers at Body Outfitters in Zionsville have been committed to providing quality, one-on-one-fitness training.
“In the past, the majority of our business has been made up of personal training, however group fitness classes, especially group strength training classes, are becoming more popular,” Moreland said.
Knowing that more people want that group experience, Moreland said it was time to expand the business.
“We actually took over the space just east of us,” Moreland said.
By just knocking out a wall, Body Outfitters is getting ready to provide more group strength training classes to the community.
“People really seem to enjoy these classes, not only from a camaraderie standpoint, but also it fits into their budgets,” Moreland said.
Even if someone walks into Body Outfitters wanting to take a group strength class, Moreland said first, they must start out with two private sessions.
“That way, we can really assess their fitness level and movements so we can pair them up with the right group,” he said.
While you are working out in a group setting, Moreland stressed that people will still get individualized training.
“I feel like we’re unique because we make sure that for every four people, there is one trainer. So if we have more than four in a group, we will add another trainer,” Moreland said. That way, he said trainers can make sure people in the group are doing each movement safely.
Moreland said throughout the week, there are many different group strength training classes that will fit a person’s schedule and fitness level.
“We’re extremely passionate about what we do and we really focus on helping people reach their fitness goals,” Moreland said.
The facility, at 27 E. Cedar St., will officially expand into its group space on Sept. 3. To learn more about Body Outfitters, visit www.bodyoutfitters.com or call 344-9844.
