NEW YEAR NEW GOALS Make One Of Them To Become The Best Version Of You

For Wellington residents, the task of finding a fitness, exercise and wellness outlet has never been more convenient. Among the many wonderful outlets are Orangetheory Fitness Wellington and Revive Wellington, both located in the Whole Foods shopping center off State Road 7. The coaches at Orangetheory will help you get fit and healthy, while the staff at Revive will help you improve your health and wellness while upgrading your energy level.

The atmosphere and experience at Orangetheory Fitness is truly unlike any other fitness venue around.

“I think we have figured out what it takes to be successful in fitness,” Managing Partner Manny Ceara said. “We focus on endurance, strength and power with a heartrate-based training workout which lasts 60 minutes.”

According to Ceara, the Orangetheory Fitness business model provides members with a boutique fitness experience that makes members feel as if they are getting the attention of a personal fitness trainer in a group fitness class. “Every class is a 60-minute experience,” said Ceara, whose Wellington location celebrated its seventh anniversary in January.

During each class, participants engage in activities that enhance their fitness, cardio and strength-building.

While the studio at Orangetheory is equipped with many of the finest fitness machines and accessories, what makes the Orangetheory experience so special is its high-energy atmosphere. The place truly comes alive when the music and the orange lights are turned on at the beginning of every session.

Every fitness hour is led by one of the coaches — head coach Shelby Bomford or one of her four assistant coaches. Each of them offers enthusiastic, professional guidance and personal direction, complete with an actual demonstration of any given workout routine for that day’s fitness experience. If you are not ready to start exercising upon arrival, the coaches will deliver a dose of verbal caffeine to get you going. “We provide technology-driven workouts,” Bomford said. “We focus on improving your endurance, strength and power.”

At Orangetheory, the coaches know what they are doing, and they are watching your every move. “We are constantly scanning the room, always making sure everybody is staying safe,” Bomford said.

All participants must wear a heartrate monitor, which allows certain health statistics to be tracked, such as calories burned, average heartbeat rate per minute and the percentage of your maximum heartrate.

By the way, those statistics are visible on the overhead monitors. If you are slacking, everybody knows it.

Throughout the sessions at Orangetheory Fitness, you are motivated by the slogans on the wall, such as “Be the Best Version of You,” “Good Things Come to Those Who Sweat,” “Work Hard and Be Proud,” and “Don’t Just Wish for It, Work for It.” At Orangetheory, you are inspired to perspire. Every day is game day at Orangetheory, which is open seven days a week. And when the fitness experience includes motivation from coaches like Bomford and her assistants, you will get fit and feel like a champion.

Hygiene is another key part of the Orangetheory experience. Each participant is given wipes to clean their station immediately after they finish. And most fitness sessions involve a treadmill, rowing machine and an exercise area near the hand weights. That’s three wipe downs in an hour.

“We were emphasizing cleanliness before COVID-19 hit,” Bomford noted.

What’s unique about the Orangetheory experience is that the workout changes every day. You never repeat the same 60-minute session.

“The coaches keep it fun,” member Larissa Malter said. “It’s a great workout. The fitness sessions deliver results.”

“I love it here,” added Stacy Dymkowski, a member since the location opened seven years ago. “It’s the best workout.”

As for the significance of the color orange, you’ll find out when you get there.

“The goal is to get to orange,” Bomford hinted.

And with those high-energy Orangetheory Fitness coaches, you will.

At Revive Wellington, located just a few steps away from Orangetheory, the goal is to get you feeling your best and living your best life. Revive opened last fall.

“Why settle for feeling good when you can feel better,” said Melissa Skarzynski, co-owner of Revive Wellington with her husband Michal. “As our brochure states, your path to wellness starts here. We really help people optimize their health.”

A former instructor at Orangetheory, she understands the symbiotic relationship between Orangetheory Fitness and Revive Wellington.

The selection of services at Revive is an a la carte menu of health and wellness options, which includes hormone optimization, booster shots, cryotherapy, micro needling, ozone therapy, float therapy, facials and IV therapy, of which there are 10 signature IV cocktails with goals such as brain power and weight loss.

At Revive, everything starts with an examination of your bloodwork, which is more comprehensive than what is done by your doctor at your annual physical.

“Our medical professionals on staff look at 65 aspects of your blood,” Michal Skarzynski explained.

Once your blood is examined by the medical team, Revive will be able to recommend what services you will need to improve your health and overall quality of life.

“After you try any of our services, you will experience the difference in your health,” Melissa Skarzynski said.

The clientele at Revive ranges from teenagers to seniors and includes professional athletes, cancer patients and people with auto-immune disease. Many of Wellington’s equestrian riders are also clients at Revive.

The saying “try it, you’ll like it” may be the best way to describe the value of Revive’s services.

The cryotherapy gives you an immediate energy boost. The float therapy reduces your stress and anxiety levels while also giving you a great night’s sleep. The ozone therapy improves your blood circulation and combats inflammation. The hormone replacement therapy restores normal hormone function. If you want a true wellness escape, take advantage of the IV Wellness Lounge and its reclining chairs, where you can infuse your body with any of the 10 signature IV cocktails.

“You can always feel better,” Melissa Skarzynski said.

After sampling one of Revive’s services, you will likely feel better, more energetic and revived.

“Two days a week, I visit Revive for a vitamin C IV and ozone therapy,” client Cindy Marlow said. “I feel pampered and well looked after. I always feel better afterward.”

If you are unable to visit Revive’s storefront location, the staff can travel to your location. “We also offer at-home concierge services,” Michal Skarzynski said. “If necessary, we will come to you.”

Revive Wellington is fully committed to getting you feeling your best and living your best life.

So, when you select the path to follow for fitness, exercise and wellness, Orangetheory Fitness and Revive Wellington are great partners to pick as you pursue a physically active lifestyle that will generate positive, long-lasting benefits — just for the health of it.
