Sweat440 Announces Expansion with New Gyms in South Florida and New York

Sweat440 Co-Founders Cody Patrick and Matt Miller are ready to expand, with five new gyms across South Florida and New York by the end of 2019.

A little over a year ago, Sweat440 burst onto the South Florida fitness scene. Located in Sunset Harbour, the 2,700 square-foot gym has attracted patrons that, in a no-subtle way to put it, run on “Miami time.” In other words, if you can’t seem to commit to anything, or you find it hard arriving on time anywhere, chances are you’ve dropped into Sweat440.

Well, Co-Founders Cody Patrick and Matt Miller are ready to expand, with five new locations across South Florida and New York by the end of 2019.

“We want to continue building the Sweat440 community,” says chief operating officer Matt Miller. “We’ve built something special that is unique and convenient, and that has helped to enhance the lives in our community. Now its time to spread that into other areas of South Florida and New York.

Sweat440

The concept is simple. The Sweat440 workout is four fitness stations, eachlasting 10-minutes in duration. It’s a constant rotation, with a new set ofmembers joining the class every 10-minutes. Thus, if a guest is running late, theycan simply join the next rotation 10-minutes later.

“The flexibility of the scheduling with the ability to drop into a group fitness class anytime has been a huge hit,” says Miller. “The workouts are engaging, results-driven, and accessible to all different fitness level. We’ve had Justice Winslow from the Miami Heat, right next to a middle-aged woman doing ball slams.”

First up in the expansion is Sweat440 Coral Gables. Located in Merrick Manor, the 3,100 square-foot gym will feature groups of nine in each 10-minute rotation, as opposed to six. The Coral Gables location will feature a full suite of amenities like showers, bathrooms, retail, and more. The monitors that demonstrate the exercises at each station will be synced, so all Sweat440 gyms will be doing the same workout every day.

Sweat440 Brickell will follow shortly after, taking a location on 9th Street inside Brickell Heights, right next to SoulCycle. The huge, airy, 18-foot ceilings space, will serve as the flagship destination in the Sweat440 lineup. It too will feature a full suite of amenities like showers, bathrooms, retail, and more.

Sweat440

Sweat440 Chelsea will be the third gym in the expansion lineup, with a massive 5,000 square-foot space at 600 6th Ave in the heart of Manhattan’s trendy neighborhood. New York guests will be treated to the same programming and amenities as their South Florida counterparts.

“The flex-time model will really shine in New York,”says Miller. “It’s a city on-the-go, rushing to the subway, work, etc. Ourlocations are really centrally located in the heart of the neighbors.”

The other location Miller is referring to is Sweat440Tribeca, which is slated towards the end of 2019, along with Sweat440 Doral herein South Florida.

Sweat440 Gables is running a “Founding Members” rate of $99/Month. For more information visit https://sweat440.com/gyms/florida/coral-gables-33146/.

Sweat440 Brickell is running a “Founding Members” rate of $99/Month. For more information visit https://sweat440.com/gyms/florida/brickell-33130/.

Transition Pilates is Your New Pilates Obsession

Transition Pilates is the culmination Rachel Scherdin's experience leading group, semi-private, and private Pilates classes.

After years of teaching at various studios around town, Pilates instructor Rachel Scherdin knew the time was right to venture out on her own. Transition Pilates is the culmination of her years of experience leading group, semi-private, and private Pilates classes.

“I have never loved anything more than I love Pilates,” says Scherdin. “I wanted to create a space where I could share my passion and education with people.”

And create she did. Located inside Body & Soul, Transition Pilates is owned and operated independently, offering semi-private group classes on their five balanced body studio reformers, towers, and Pilates chairs, giving clients the one on one attention needed from the instructor.

Instructors are all comprehensively certified and come to Transition Pilates with 500+hours of training, then receive additional instruction specific to Scherdin’s specific approach.

"There is nothing worse than going to a studio and the instructor does not even know your name,” says Scherdin. “Pilates is very intricate, so if you are just placed on the equipment without the instructor helping you, you are getting set up to fail. With only five people in the class, the instructors can see every single detail to ensure you are getting the most out of your class.”

Transition Pilates is offering four class types at launch - Traditional Transition, Arms, Abs, & Ass, Cardio Jump, and Strength & Sculpt, which is billed as a fast-paced, low impact, class that will tone and sculpt your body in 60 minutes. Transition Pilates also specializes in pre and post-natal Pilates and diastasis correction.

Transition Pilates is offering STAY FIT 305 readers 25% off all group classes with the code “Stayfit305” – making your first class only $15. Transition Pilates is located at 3183 SW 38th CT, Coconut Grove, FL. Parking is available. For more information, visit www.transitionpilates.com.

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.
