Time To Get Primal

In the last few months, I’ve met some truly great people through Spa Fit Finder. I’ve also experienced awesome services, tried stellar products, practiced yoga with great teachers and worked out with amazing trainers. Among one of my favorite experiences was working out with Amen from Amen Zone in North Scottsdale.
As an ex-rugby player from London who gave up his full-time corporate job to pursue his dream, Amen’s story is unique. Amen, who just opened his second gym in North Scottsdale, offers a one-of-a-kind work. His gym, Amen Zone, isn’t your typical gym; it’s a primal fitness center that uses recycled tires as well as body strength and movement to tone muscles and burn fat.

I’m not going to lie, I was a little intimidated for my one-on-one training session with Amen. He’s about three times my size and in great shape, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep up. Amen proved me wrong. I loved the workout and his energy. His positive reinforcement throughout the training kept me going the whole time. His kind words made me want to push myself harder than ever. During the workout we did all kinds of exercises using tires, logs and even some boxing. By the end of our session, I was exhausted but could not wait to do it again...on a different day of course.

If you are looking to bring your fitness to the next level, I would highly recommend an organic workout with Amen.

Amen also offers numerous group fitness options. Visit Amenzone.net for classes schedule or call 480-205-6120 schedule a one-on-one training session.

Bikram Yoga Tempe Review

The Hot Summer Workout - Bikram Yoga


Between the too hot to hold steering wheel, the oven-like atmostphere outside and over-air conditioned stores, there isn’t too much to love about the AZ summer heat. Fortunately, Bikram Yoga Tempe puts a new twist on summer sizzle offering hot yoga classes that burn fat and calories, tone the body and increase strength and flexibility while helping you sweat out toxins.

I had no idea what to expect in my first Bikram Yoga class. While I had been to many yoga classes before, I had never experienced hot or Bikram yoga. When I walked in, I felt a little overwhelmed, nervous and out of place. That didn’t last long as I was quickly greeted by owner Elaina Zorensky, who introduced me to the gym and set me up with a two-week unlimited pass.

When class began, everyone was extremely focused and engaged in practice, despite the 105 degree temperature of the room. Unlike traditional yoga classes, I got a complete workout including strength, cardio and stretching. In fact, I wore my heart rate monitor and was excited to discover burned over 500 calories during the hour and a half class. Not bad, right? I also learned that Bikram Yoga benefits additionally include anti-aging, discipline, improved circulation and hormone level balance.

Bikram Yoga Tempe’s staff is extremely welcoming, friendly and outgoing, making the experience even better. I have also learned a lot about my body in just the few times I’ve gone. I would recommend Bikram Yoga of Tempe to anyone looking for a great workout!
