Tread-X at Bodyfit - Try Your First Class FREE

Cold weather and icy streets pose a challenge to my exercise routine. Tennis is out, and the winter chill had made it difficult to get myself outside for a walk or a game of platform tennis. Though time on the treadmill or the elliptical does the trick, it quickly get’s boring and that’s why I was happy to find a new way to get an endorphin rush.

Bodyfit on Scarsdale Avenue has recently added a new interval-training program to their mix. Tread-X combines the use of treadmills and suspension training with traditional floor exercise and aerobics. The routine changes with each class to alleviate the ennui and time passes quickly as you burn calories walking, running and doing exercises that tone your entire body.

One of the Bodyfit studios has been refitted with sparkling new equipment and you don’t have to be in top shape to benefit. Each phase of the one hour program allows you to work at your own level of ability without the pressure of meeting set standards.

In the class I attended, we did three ten minute sessions on the treadmills, along with an aerobic warm-up, a session on the bench and a workout session for chests and arms using suspension pulleys. During the treadmill intervals, the instructor had us vary the incline and speed on Bodyfit’s new custom-made machines to raise and lower our heart rates for an effective workout. Floor exercises included lunges, squats, leg lifts and pushups designed to sculpt the entire body.

After an hour I emerged feeling invigorated and well toned – and to my surprise I didn’t have any aches, pains or pulled muscles the next day.

Another benefit of Bodyfit is that you pay as you go. You can pay by the class or buy a series, but there is no monthly fee or annual commitment. However, since space is limited you do need to call to reserve your class in advance. Tread-X is offered on weekdays at 8:30 am and 9:45 am and at 11 am on Mondays and Fridays. For early risers there’s a 6 am session on Wednesdays. On Saturday, you can try a Tread-X Class at 8:15 am or 9:30 am.

And if you do call, let them know you read about it on Scarsdale10583 and receive your first class free!
