Whilesmall-group training gyms have increased in popularity across South Florida,PumpFit Club offers its own unique personality and killer workouts.
PumpFitClub was founded by Hannah Eden in 2014. It initially began as a bootcamp classin the back of another gym before evolving into a HIIT training studio in 2015.Eden wanted to create a space to serve members, regardless of age, shape andsize, and help them set and achieve any fitness goals.
“Ourvision is to empower our local community. Once you walk through our doors, youare stripped from every single social label,” said Paulo Barreto, co-owner andoperator at PumpFit. “We work every single day on breaking stereotypes andpushing every member to discover themselves and the athlete within.”
Thefull-body, high-intensity, group workouts merge and mix intense cardio withresistance training for fat loss, toning and conditioning. The PumpFit programgoes beyond the typical stations and circuits. No class is the same, and eachday of the week offers a different structure of workout, challenging the bodyand mind with routines meant to improve overall fitness – from speed, power andagility to strength, balance and coordination.
“Weutilize many modalities of fitness to bring a diverse and ever-challengingexperience to each workout,” said Barreto. “At the core of our program is bodybuilding, kettle bell sport and flow, yoga, animal flow, and bodyweightplyometrics.”
Trainersare able to deliver individualized attention in a group setting, and are veryhands-on, ensuring correct form and providing positive energy andencouragement.
Atthe end of each class, after a much-needed cool-down and stretch, everyonegathers around a circle and brings their hands together. The trainer awards oneathlete who’s drive and work ethic stood out during the workout.
“Anyonecan receive the stamp regardless of fitness level, how fast they move or how muchweight lifted. It’s about recognizing effort and small victories, be it aperfect lunge or the first box jump completed,” said Barreto.
The stampgoes on your bicep and it says “F*cking Fantastic.” It’s a great goal for anyparticipant to have at PumpFit Club.
