Welcome to the second Boutique
Fitness Guide on Think Fit. Be Fit. Podcast!
We love the idea of boutique
fitness for the greater good of our collective fitness and for
creating valuable health assets. A sense of belonging and
managing a healthy lifestyle are what Boutique Fitness studios
offer that the bigger gyms are striving to copy and why we keep
going back.
Even though some studios are
getting $300 a month from their clients, the quality is not styled
to accommodate all the injuries lying beneath the surface of those
of us exercising with old injuries. The reality is we need a
critical view and legit injury prevention advice before committing
to what seems to be the most popular classes.
What is
critical review of exercise? Most exercise or class reviews
are focused on what sells. I have nothing to gain by sharing
my views on these classes except to show you that your body
deserves an individualized approach to improving your
exercise. My belief is that with applicable basic science
knowledge we can make these types of decisions about fitness
classes.

"The psychology behind why it’s so much harder to do 20
burpees when you’re alone versus in a group is fundamental to how
humans relate."
