After bouncing around between New York, Haiti, and Miami, Ron Gilbert finally settled in the 305 with his family. Gilbert can be spotted leading packs of the #NoDaysOff crew at Legacy Fit Coral Gables. We caught up with Gilbert for a Quick 10 interview, but you can also follow him on Instagram – @ronnodaysoff.

Tell us about yourself - where are you from andhow did you find your way to the 305?

I am from a few places. I was born in Queens, New York, raised in Haiti from ages two to ten, moved to Miami in 1991, moved to New York after college in 2006. I recently moved back home with wife (@jaifaith) and first child about five years ago and welcomed our second child this October.

How did you get your start in fitness and as aninstructor?

If I recall correctly, I think it was actually by default. My wife was the first of us two to be in the industry - she taught a small group class at this place in the Bronx, which believe or not, sold shakes called “Thin is In.” Something came up and she couldn’t teach her class and I had to fill in last minute for her.

What is your favorite part of being a fitnessinstructor?

My favorite part isthe number of souls I get to encounter on a yearly basis, seeing life change inpeople physically and mentally, and just overall human connection throughfitness.

How do you stay full of energy throughout theday?

The typical answer would be pre-workout, colada, and energy drinks which I use in a blue moon. But the guilty honest answer is I take a 15-minute nap mid-day in my car. It’s an old school veteran tactic I learned from my Big Bro @joenodaysoff (the hardest worker I know). Please don’t be trying to look in my car mid-day.

How would you describe your classes?

Fun, high energy, LIT,Go Hard or else you will hear from me. We work hard but I like to make it fun,because at the end of the day, what most people don’t want to admit, it’sintentional action and work.

What is one fitness myth you would like to bust?

So many. High repsand lighter weights make you cut, cardio is considered treadmill or running,cardio is anything that gets your heart rate up, lift weights with me I’ll showyou cardio. Sorry - got caught up – anyways, next question!

Besides fitness, what’s one thing you’repassionate about?

I’ll say myrelationship with Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior (Don’t go and put me in the Christianbox now).

What are you excited about right now?

My future, I feellike I haven’t scratched the surface of my ultimate life potential.

What is a long-term goal you are working towardsor would love to achieve?

Oh okay, now wetrying to get deep deep - it’s to have a basketball/life academy for youngboys.

How do you practice mental health in youreveryday life?

Morning ritual ofquick prayer and gratitude for another day, read a quick word, have some sortof meditation/ visualization of my day.

The United States is theunhappiest it’s ever been.

The 2019 World Happiness Report says thatFinland remains the happiest country on Earth for the second year in the row,while the U.S. drops to No. 19, its worst ranking ever (it was No. 18 in 2018 and No. 14 in 2017).

The globalreport on 156 countries released Wednesday placed five Nordic countries in thetop 10, with the Netherlands (5), Switzerland (6), New Zealand (7), Canada (9),and Austria (10) filling out the other top spots.

At No.15.,even the Brexit-divided United Kingdom ranked higher than the U.S.

Researcherswith the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network have been creating theannual happiness report since 2012, based on global data from Gallup.Countries’ happiness scores are determined by six main variables on athree-year average:

• GDP per capita
• Healthy life expectancy at birth
• Social support from friends and family
• Freedom to make life choices
• Generosity in the form of donations to charity
• Perceptions of government corruption

Finland —home of the recent basic incomeexperiment — has shown steady upward progress over the past fewyears, the researchers found.

In the U.S., whereprosperity is on the rise, researchers pin the blame on declines in socialcapital and social support and increases in obesity and substance abuse. AuthorJean M. Twenge believes fundamental changes in how Americans spend theirleisure time are also to blame, pointing a finger at the rise of digital mediaand the decline of face-to-face interactions.

Report co-author JeffreySachs calls the United States a “mass-addiction society.” The prevalence ofaddictions — including gambling, social media use, video gaming, shopping,consuming unhealthy foods, exercising, and engaging in extreme sports or riskysexual behaviors — in American society seems to be on the rise, perhapsdramatically, he writes.

“Thefree-market theory taught in our universities holds that consumers know what’sbest for them, with businesses efficiently and appropriately catering to thosedesires,” Sachs wrote. “The prevalence of addiction suggests a very differentpicture: that individuals may be lured into self-destructive behaviors, notablyby businesses keen on boosting sales of their goods and services.”

A lot of us aregreat at staying active and fit - but how about taking the time we need torecover? Rest and recovery are important aspects of any fitness routine becausethey allow the body time to repair and strengthen itself in between workouts.

Now you can takeyour recovery to the next level here in Miami. Carillon Miami Wellness Resorthas elevated The Spa at Carillon Miami with new health and wellness offerings.

“Wellness hasalways been at the core of our resort, and we are pleased to debut the nextphase of The Spa at Carillon Miami with these new experiences,” said TammyPahel, Vice President of Spa Operations, Carillon Miami Wellness Resort. “Thewellness industry continues to grow and evolve, and we are proud to be changingwith it – continuing to be the top wellness resort in South Florida, providingunmatched options for health, well-being and beauty.”

The Carillon isthe largest spa and wellness space in the region at 70,000 square feet, and itfeatures a one-of-a-kind Thermal Experience with an Herbal Laconium, FinnishSauna, Crystal Steam Room, and Thermal Heated Loungers. There is also a HydroCircuit with a Vitality Pool, Experiential Rains, Foot Bath and a ColdExperience in the Igloo Suite.

Outside of yourtypical massages, there are some specific treatments geared towards helping thebody to recover. Here are four that are highly recommended by the Carillon.

Himalayan Salt Stone Massage

Combined withintensive deep tissue technique, Himalayan salt stones are used to revivefatigued muscles, rebalance the body and melt away stress; providing a healing,calming and relaxing experience. The heated stones help release deep-seatedtension on the deeper muscle layers and expand blood vessels to encourage bloodflow throughout the body. Their sedative effect can relieve chronic pain,reduce stress and promote deep relaxation.

Fitness Body Active Treatment

An energizingand remodeling treatment post work-out. Using a body mask made with yellow clayfrom Brazil, enriched with a plankton extract to stimulate your metabolism. Itsefficacy is boosted by using a Tui-Na technique. Ideal for combining with afitness program or to be included in an anti-cellulite and firming program.

Salt Float Bath Therapy

This therapyoffers a deep relaxation state achieved by allowing the body to recover fromstress. Pain is relieved, blood flow is stimulated through all the tissues,natural endorphins are released, and the brain gives out alpha waves associatedwith relaxation and meditation. The 800 pounds of salt relaxes the muscletissue and releases muscle tissue pain. We tried this one and while 60 minutesseemed like a long time to lay still with our thoughts, we loved how zen wefelt and by the end of the session, found ourselves wishing we had more time.

Infrared Sauna

By sweating, oneactivates and intensifies the elimination of toxins. You eliminate about seventimes more toxins with an infrared sauna than a traditional sauna. Infraredheat yields additional benefits in a significant way, beyond relaxation.Benefits are detoxification, relaxation, pain relief, weight loss, improvescirculation, reduces inflammation, and provides skin purification.

In addition tothose spa experiences, the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort also has sessions foraccessing your metabolic health and aerobic capacity. This two-part service isrecommended for people who want to change their body composition, increasestamina and fitness, or improve sports performance. They also have an in-houseDEXA scan to provide highly accurate measurements of body composition.

After taking a few classes at Redbike in Brickell, Adam Ginsberg was prompted to audition as an instructor. Four years later, Ginsberg is still leading packs of cyclists at the popular Brickell spin studio. We caught up with Ginsberg for a Quick 10 interview, but you can also follow him on Instagram – @ginsspins.

Tell us about yourself - where are you from andhow did you find your way to the 305?

I was born in Miami,but raised in Broward County. After completing my Master’s Degree in HealthcareAdministration at the University of Central Florida, I moved back to the 305 tobegin my career.

How did you get your start in fitness and as aninstructor?

I had never taken an indoor cycling class and decided to sign up for a class at RedBike Studios since it was close to my apartment. I liked it so much that I bought a package. After a few classes, I was approached by their team to audition during instructor tryouts. They had been looking for people in their classes who could keep up with the beat and I guess I fit that criteria. At the time it was completely out of my comfort zone, but they pleaded with me. They said that the only way they wouldn’t choose me is if I fell off the bike during my audition. That was four years ago, and I’m glad they pushed me to do it.

What is your favorite part of being a fitnessinstructor?

I love being on stageand letting loose. My full-time job, like many people, consists of sitting at adesk all day. For me, teaching class is as much of a stress reliever as it isfor my riders.

How do you stay full of energy throughout theday?

I’d be lying if Ididn’t say coffee. On top of the coffee, I’m genuinely excited to teach classand share my awesome playlist with my riders.

How would you describe your classes?

My approach is tomake classes feel like a party rather than a workout. Yes, other instructorstake the same approach. What makes my class unique is that I try to focus lesson the fitness aspect and more on the fun aspect. What I do is try to changethe state of mind of my riders. Rather than focusing on what we’re doingphysically, I remind everyone to smile and dance on the bike. This takes thestress and pressure out of the workout and focuses more on the way in which wefeel from the workout.

Besides fitness, what’s one thing you’repassionate about?

Trance music. If I’mnot listening to my playlists for class, odds are I’m listening to some sort oftrance podcast.

What is a long-term goal you are working towardsor would love to achieve?

I would love to continueinstructing at larger events outside of the studio. Building relationships inthe Miami fitness community and the social scene is a priority of mine.

What is the one thing you do every day to stayfit?

I take the stairs atwork as much as possible. I’m a big believer in doing simple or small things tochange habits.

How do you practice mental health in youreveryday life?

Instructing class. Itallows me to share my creativity, releases positive vibes, and makes me feelaccomplished after a long day.

What's your go-to healthy and cheat meals?

Healthy: Baked Salmonand Brussels sprouts. Cheat: pizza and ice cream (yes both, one after theother).

Prince, the leadingAmerican-born global tennis brand, announces a strategic partnership withDavid Grutman, Founder of Miami based Groot Hospitality, to bring hisinfluence to the brand’s creative direction and collaborations.

The first collaboration that Grutman brings to Prince is UNKNWN, the fashion sport and street style retailer, who will introduce a limited-edition tennis inspired clothing capsule. The collection, Prince x UNKNWN, will debut during the 2019 Miami Open. This partnership comes from Authentic Brands Group (ABG), a global brand owner, marketing and entertainment company with a portfolio of iconic brands that includes Prince Tennis.

“We are excited to be launching Prince Off-Court with such a strong partner like David Grutman,” said Matt Salter, Senior Director of Brand Collaborations at ABG. “With the popularity of tennis and the rise of streetwear fashion, the launch of Prince x UNKNWN is a great addition to the growth of the brand. It has been a pleasure working with UNKNWN, who’s reputation and execution have earned them the distinction as the exclusive Miami retailer for top tier brands.”

“When you distill the style of Miami, there are elements of it that generate from the tennis courts of Florida,” says UNKNWN co-founder and CEO Jaron Kanfer. “Even in earlier eras of Miami culture, the sound of a Prince ball hitting the hard court was the drumbeat of the town. Classic “On the Court” style is bouncing back into fashion for both genders especially with the brands that have significant impact on the sporting world. With the Miami Open as a background, we are thrilled to partner with a great icon of tennis on this exciting new collection. As part of the collaboration, we've added our signature touch to Prince’s classic graphics which include an exclusive racquet that speaks to the electricity of our city and timelessness of the game."

The Prince x UNKNWN collection offers a mix of unisex t-shirts, hoodies, and bottoms, and pays homage to the brand’s tennis roots with a single racquet in classic tennis colors infused with pops of white, mint green, black and coral. Topping off the assortment, an all-white tennis skirt and crop top for women will debut.

“Prince is an iconic brand that I’ve been a fan of for many years,” said David Grutman. “I look forward to partnering on next level opportunities, the first being Prince x UNKNWN debuting in Miami. We have awesome projects in the works that we can’t wait to announce – stay tuned.”

All it took was a short stint in the South Beach sand for Chicago native Grant Weeditz to realize that South Florida was his future home. Now, you can catch Weeditz training clients at any one of three Anatomy fitness studios across Miami. We caught up with Weeditz for a Quick 10 interview, but you can also follow him on Instagram – @weediddy.

Tell us about yourself - where are you from andhow did you find your way to the 305?

Born and raised in aChicago, an internship opportunity working in sports performance brought me toSouth Florida after college. Marc Megna’s vision for the future of fitness keptme here after moving on from working with athletes. ‘Anatomy’ was born and Iwas fortunate enough to be a part of it from the beginning.

How did you get your start in fitness and as aninstructor?

An overseasdeployment lit the fire. Training soldiers in a combat environment and seeingthe positive impact fitness can have on the readiness and morale of a militaryunit led me to pursue a degree in exercise science once I returned home.

How would you describe your classes?

Medieval combat meetsViking ninja

What is one fitness myth you would like to bust?

That any one diet,exercise, or class is the best. I like what I like today, at this point in mylife, for very specific and timely reasons. You may feel very different aboutmy choices today and I may feel different about my choices tomorrow. If itfeels right, do it.

Tell us a little bit more about your specialty.

I use unconventionaltools like the steel mace and steel club to create unique and challengingflows. Every class is a balanced blend of smooth, functional movements andathletic performance-based activities like sprints and sled pulls. Those thatattend class regularly speak about how much fun they had. That’s music to myears.

Other than where you teach, where is yourfavorite place in Miami to train?

If not at Anatomy,I’m at a local neighborhood CrossFit. Sometimes I just need to drop barbellsand swing on the rings.

What are you excited about right now?

In the process ofbecoming a home owner! This means: football in the backyard, building a garagegym, and having a dog are all realistic options now. Pumped.

What is the one thing you do every day to stayfit?

Eat based on myactivity. The two questions I ask myself are: “What did you just do?” and “Whatare you about to do?” Then, make a decision based around my answers.

How do you practice mental health in youreveryday life?

I use the headspacemediation app every weekday morning before my first client or class. Been doingthis for 2 years accumulating over 3,000 minutes in that time. I’ve recentlybumped up my daily routine to 15 minutes per day from 10 and it’s made a hugedifference.

What's your go-to healthy and cheat meals? 

Healthy go-tos comefrom Lunchology, my meal delivery service. That way, I know it’s delicious andI don’t have to think. My most frequent cheat is a 2-3x week icecream/cookie/peanut butter mashup on days where I’ve eaten too clean.

Hard Rock Stadiumannounced the creation of the Sensory Room presented by The Dan MarinoFoundation and Bose Corporation, a space within the facility designed to ensureall guests have a comfortable and private experience on game days and otherevents.

Trainerspacein Boca Raton is a unique 20,000 square foot fitness concept that features over2,000 pieces of equipment with the goal of helping clients and members reachtheir full potential.

Establishedin November 2016 as a place where personal trainers could bring their clientsfor a session, Trainerspace began accepting individual gym memberships 14months later in January 2018.

The spaceis immaculate, equipment is spotless, and nothing is out of place - you won'tfind someone leaving dumbbells on the floor or forgetting to un-rack theirweights here. This is just one of the ways that Trainerspace is eliminatingdistractions from your workout.

Thegym is very quiet, private and, unexpectedly, calming with the blue lightingand giant open space. Their in-house personal trainers are experienced andready to help.

A newprogram at Trainerspace begins with a one-on-one consultation with a trainer.To start, guests will build a baseline with a 3D body map created using theStyku 3D Body Scan. This scan will include feedback on body composition andbody measurements and will be repeated monthly to allow members to comparetheir results and see their progress. These scans are stored and can also beemailed for personal records.

Whilepersonal training is the foundation of Trainerspace, they do offer small grouptraining sessions throughout the week for members as well.

Followingyour workout, Trainerspace has well-equipped spaces for men and women thatinclude showers, chilled towels, and recovery spaces. Their recovery servicesinclude assisted stretching, infrared sauna, massage therapy, sound bedtherapy, and nutritional counseling.

Whattruly sets this gym apart is their mission. Trainerspace is a veteran-owned andoperated gym and a large veteran employer. They are affiliated with TheTrainerspace Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that was established in September 2017to show veterans across America that there is a life after the military.

Trainerspace Boca Raton is located at 990 South Rogers Circle #7, Boca Raton, and is on Instagram as @trainerspace. For more details on membership options and personal training packages, check out trainerspace.com.

All it took was a week in the Magic City sun to bring personal trainer Giacomo Gomiero to our shores. We caught up with Gomiero for a Quick 10 interview, but you can also follow him on Instagram – @sobe.lift.

Tell us about yourself -where are you from and how did you find your way to the 305?

Iwas born in Italy and grew up in Monterey, California. I ended up in the 305via ambitions. The small beach-town of Northern California started to feel likea small shirt that no longer fit. I came to South Beach for a fun week withfriends eight years ago. That’s when I felt in love with the 305, and knew Ihad to move here to pursue my ambitions in the fitness industry.

How did you get your start in fitness and as a trainer?

Iofficially started 15+ years ago as a martial arts coach, but soon after Ibecame a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, because I truly love tohelp people.

What is your favorite part of being a personal trainer?

Theclose connection I make with some of the most wonderful people, but most of all,the ability to help people increase their quality of life in all three levels: mind,body, and spirit.

What is one fitness mythyou would like to bust?

Hateto brake it to y’all, but you can’t fat spot train (can’t loose fat in onespecific spot).

Tell us a little bit more about your specialty.

Comingfrom a MMA background, I loveteaching one on one boxing for its technique and fitness benefits. I truly lovepersonal training as a whole, and I would definitely say that adding HIIT topersonal training is my preference for best results.

Other than where you teach,where is your favorite place in Miami to train?

Anatomy, South Pointe Park, Muscle Beach South Beach, Bentley Bay Condominium.

Besides fitness, what’s onething you’re passionate about?

Traveling,culture, and knowledge. I pride myself to always strive for more in thoseareas.

What are you excited aboutright now?

I’mexited to see how fast SobeLIFT is growing and how our MIND BODY SPIRIT cultureis spreading.

How do you practice mentalhealth in your everyday life?

Mentalhealth is one of the essentials in everyone’s life, and is one of SobeLIFT’sspecialties. I typically start the day with a simple five-minute mediation.

What's your go-to healthyand cheat meals?

Imostly eat fish and vegetables (homemade salads especially). I actually reallylike the taste of that, but occasionally, I like to cook Italian food, sogiving the carb-load it provides, I would consider that a cheat meal.
