RAPID CITY, S.D. (KOTA TV) As 2019 comes to a close you will probably be hearing people say: " A new year, a new me." To help get people motivated -- the Parks and Recreation Department has a special offer.
In recent years the city has opened community gyms to the public ... and this year the West Community Gym will be open from noon to 4 PM on December 30th, 31st and January 2nd, and 3rd. ...only charging $2 a person per session.
The Community Gym offers people the chance to play basketball -- as well as get in some slower-paced cardio exercises, in an environment that may not be as intimidating as your typical gym.
"If their New Year's resolution is to get more into an exercise routine. This is a good way to do it by themselves or with a friend, do some light workouts, shooting hoops or whatever it may be. Maybe that works into a more routine program as the year unfolds," Says, Darrell Shoemaker
The West Community Center is located right next to West Middle School, and also offers year-round activities.

Leveling up your fitness in 2020? Here are 4 new places that can help – Los Angeles Times
As we turn the page on 2019, we have a chance to get a jump on those inevitable New Years resolutions. Here are four places that are expanding their offerings to help you do just that:
The new Monarch Athletic Club in West Hollywood is designed to be more than a place to do some crunches. Instead, said chief executive and founding physician Dr. Ryan M. Greene, it should be a one-stop shop for health and wellness optimizing.
The 5,800-square-foot facility offers largely private training as well as small-group yoga and Pilates classes. Members also can access services like sports massages, IV therapy and metabolic panel testing. Also on-site: a medical-grade cold plunge pool, an infrared sauna and treatment tables for acupuncture and chiropractic services.
We wanted to offer a comprehensive wellness program based on the key foundational pillars of preventative health and wellness, based on how you move, how you eat, how you take care of your body and recover, Greene said.
On joining, Greene evaluates each member to develop a personalized workout regimen, which is appraised every three months. Luxe add-ons include workout clothes, a laundry service and a daily smoothie. Of course, that all comes at a price.
Info: Monthly memberships start at $1,000. 8730 W. Sunset Blvd. monarchweho.com

Pilates instructor Erika Bloom recently expanded her Los Angeles studio to include bodywork offerings.
(Erika Bloom Pilates)
Erika Bloom, a sought-after Pilates instructor with studios in New York, Connecticut and Turks & Caicos, recently doubled the size of her Los Angeles location to offer a range of bodywork services.
In early November, Bloom inaugurated the expanded 2,000-square-foot Brentwood studio twice the original size offering treatments including acupuncture and nutritional consulting, as well as Rolfing, a type of bodywork that focuses on deep tissue.
Everything here is done as a customized program and all one-on-one, Bloom said. We always start everything with an evaluation to see whats going on in someones body and what changes need to be made. Bloom suggests thrice-weekly Pilates sessions, although she says that some of her celebrity clients come in daily.
Info: $130 an hour for one-on-one Pilates sessions. Packages available. 11611 San Vicente Blvd., Suite 545, erikabloompilates.com
::
Made by Pilates is a new studio in Highland Park.
(Made by Pilates)
Just unveiled in the Highland Park neighborhood is Made by Pilates, a studio offering 50 classes a week formatted by former New York Pilates instructor Jamie Ehrlich.
I was looking for an area that had a community feel, Ehrlich said. I found a space where I could have a big, beautiful lounge that felt cozy and people could hang out and have some locally made kombucha.
The studio, which opened in early December, has 12 Pilates reformer machines in the main area as well as a private room for one-on-one sessions. The classes are for mixed levels, Ehrlich said.
They are challenging but not impossible, and there is a specific flow that is aimed at giving real results very fast, she said. Although the classical reformer is used, Ehrlich said the classes are more fast-paced and athletic. You get a full-body workout. Its not just slow and stretchy. The exercises also use balls, weights, resistance bands and jump boards.
Info: Membership is $249 for monthly unlimited. A single class is $36. Packages available. 117 N. Ave. 59. madebypilates.com

At the Pharos Athletic Club in Echo Park, workouts emphasize mechanics, strength and conditioning.
(Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times)
Pharos Athletic Club, a family-owned gym that opened in Los Angeles in 2017, is unveiling its third expansion in two years on Jan. 1, of course.
We have more members who have different needs and wants, and so we are expanding to cater to a broader experience and improve everyones training, said owner Pieter Vodden.
Now coming in at 22,000 square feet triple what it started as the new space will offer equipment intended for targeted needs such as improving cardiovascular strength. There is also a new dumbbell room and a conditioning area for people who are recovering from injury and looking to get back into fitness. Classes run to strength training, boxing, indoor cycling, yoga and Pilates.
The best training comes with multiplicity, Vodden said. We have a range of offerings to get maximum results and longevity. Everything works, but nothing works forever. We have a broad spectrum of fitness options so you are constantly challenged with varying platforms.
Info: Membership starts at $149 a month. 1316 Glendale Blvd. jointhepac.fit

Leveling up your fitness in 2020? Here are 4 new places that can help - Los Angeles Times
The best at-home fitness equipment in 2019 – CNET
Getty Images This story is part of New Year, New You, everything you need to develop healthy habits that will last all the way through 2020 and beyond.
Furnishing a fully equipped home gym can easily snowball into a project that takes months (if not years) to finish -- especially if you have the space for every machine under the sun. But, if you're just getting started with your set-up or only have so much room to spare, certain items are far more necessary than others.
And, although shopping for such basic items as weights, resistance bands and yoga mats may seem relatively simple, you shouldn't always order the first thing that you find. As too many of us have learned, it's surprisingly easy to end up with a low-quality piece of equipment that ends up impeding your workout, rather than enhancing it.
Luckily, with the help of online customer reviews, we've found the best home fitness essentials that everyone should have and rounded them up below.
This pair of dumbbells is adjustable in increments of two and a half pounds, from a minimum weight of five pounds to a max weight of 52.5 pounds. An inexpensive (but similarly durable) alternative to Bowflex's adjustable dumbbells, this set saves space and allows for quick and easy changes in weight throughout workout.
Reviewers noted the set's high quality, rust-free finish, as well as the fact that additional weights stay in place while lifting, without wobbling around or shifting in place.
The starter guide that comes with this handled set of resistance bands makes it friendly for beginners, while the wide range of resistance offered within the set makes it a great choice for more experienced users. The set comes with a door anchor and travel case, for those who want to take their workout on the road.
Reviewers were particularly happy with how versatile this set is, in that they could incorporate the bands into larger workouts or simply use them on their own. (They also make a great gift.)
For those who might balk at this mat's price, we'd like to highlight the reviewer who described it as the "Cadillac" of yoga mats -- grippy enough for fast-paced vinyasa flows and cushiony enough for floor-based stretching. That said, that aforementioned grippiness may have to come with some time and effort on your part.
Some reviewers noted that the mat can get slippery during hot yoga. Manduka's care instructions recommend a salt scrub to "break in" the surface of the mat, which can help.
Check out our other yoga mat recommendations.
Not only can this system attach to pretty much any door, but you can anchor it to rafters, trees, or outdoor posts, as well. No matter where you set it up, you can use it to practice and master TRX's seven "foundational moves" (pushing, pulling, lunging, hinging, squatting, planking, and rotating), all of which are meant to target core and full-body strength.
The system's accompanying exercise guide and online workouts help make it appealing to newcomers to TRX and seasoned practitioners alike. And, as CNET previously reported, this particular system is fitness-trainer approved.
This simple (read: non-vibrating, untextured) foam roller may seem a little basic, but that actually makes it perfect for a home gym setting. Praised by reviewers for its durability, this foam roller is firm enough to target soreness in the shoulders, legs, neck, and back.
Some reviewers specifically noted that this roller was perfectly suited for chest-opening exercises, since they could choose between three lengths (12, 18, or 36 inches) to fit their height.
Reviewers were big fans of the price point for this set of six kettlebells (comparable sets can run for $100 more). But, this set's best feature -- and why it's perfect for a home gym setting specifically -- is its vinyl coating. Unlike cast iron kettlebells, these are designed for softer landings, in terms of both noise and impact, and with the weights' longevity in mind, since the coating protects the weights from scratches and damage.
A notable "con" for this box is that it takes about 45 minutes to assemble out of the box -- but a corresponding "pro" is the fact that, once it's put together, adjusting its height to your needs is a quick and easy process. And speaking of this plyo box's adjustable features, it can be set to stand 16, 20, or 24 inches high, depending on whether you want to it for steps, squats, or jumps.
Whatever your exercise of choice may be, you can rely on the box to feel stable and solid underfoot -- one review described it as "trustworthy."
This adjustable, tangle-resistant rope from Qwesen proves that something as essential as a jump rope doesn't have to be boring. Its foam handles offer a comfortable grip while its steel wire rope provides enough momentum for a steady, smooth rhythm -- in turn, reviewers write that it's great for double- and triple-jumping. The rope comes coated with PVC for protection, ensuring long-term use.
This foldable bench is about as customizable as it gets, with six back positions, four seat positions and the option to lay completely flat. Reviewers praise the bench's ease of adjustment, the fact that it's foldable for storage and its sturdiness (its weight capacity stands at 500 pounds). Plus, the padded seat and foot holds make even longer workouts comfortable.
This doorway-mounted frame goes beyond the average pull-up bar to offer a whole bodyweight workout system, in which they can do dips, leg raises, rows, and push-up variations, in addition to pull-ups.
Many reviewers were drawn to this item for its versatility, and they write that it delivers: Not only does it feel sturdy and secure when in use, but it's easy to assemble or take apart depending on the exercises they wish to do.

Test Your Cardio Fitness in Our Last Year-End Benchmark – Lifehacker
Weve done some strength and flexibility benchmarks, so I suppose its only fair we do one for cardio. Your Fitbit or Apple Watch may give you some numbers, like a VO2max, but I prefer a simpler test.
Now, my main cardio pastime is running, so I think in terms of covering distance on my feet. You could do this with a bike instead, or anything that can provide a consistent measurement. Ellipticals vary, for example, but if you have an exercise bike or a real bike that you can trust to give you a correct-ish distance, go for it.
The test is simple: cover one mile as fast as you like. You can walk, run, or mix it up. (Or, flip it around and see how much distance you can cover in ten minutes.) The result usually gives you a perfect data point for planning out your training paces, using a calculator like this one from Jack Daniels (not the whiskey, the other guy).

Trends and opportunities in the Indian fitness market for 2020 – YourStory
Over the last few years, we have seen a massive increase in cognisance and consumption of preventive healthcare across all age groups and income levels. A great reflection of this is the 20 million unique monthly searches taking place on Google linked to fitness near me.
We are also witnessing newer offerings and optimal solutions being designed by traditional businesses and startups to cater to this growing demand.
According to industry studies like FICCI EY report, Redseer Consulting, Global Wellness Institute, IHRSA & Fitternitys grounds-up study of the Indian retail fitness services market, there are six million active users in India who are spending on an average $350 to $400 annually towards fitness services, amounting to $2.6 billion market size.
The market size is estimated to hit a whopping $6 billion by 2023. Lets look at some key trends reflecting strong future opportunities in the fitness market.
Personal Trainer
Earlier, Indian fitness enthusiasts would typically visit a gym and were forced to make upfront payments and buy long-term memberships to get started (which was cheaper than buying a shorter one- or three-month package).
Irrespective of how much they used their membership, they were billed for all 365 days creating breakage or under-utilisation of their spends on fitness.
Based on the consumption data on Fitternity in last 12 months, we have seen 55 percent of these users opt for offerings that are more New World in nature, and 45 percent of them opting for the conventional gym/group class membership.
As the New World offerings become stronger and more and more users are exposed to them, we believe there will be a major shift in spending patterns in India over the next few years.
With a massive influx of new gyms and fitness classes in most areas, users are now exposed to a slew of new options as against the three to four gyms/yoga classes they had to choose from a few years ago. The decision to join, which was earlier based on pricing alone, has now evolved to understanding what is trending, evaluating the vibe, infrastructure superiority, etc.
Large sets of users are also preferring alternative options like swimming, outdoor classes, and sports as an occasional change to their fitness routines.
A lot of users are also opting to pay-per-use or buy an aggregated fitness pass to keep their options flexible and not limit themselves to a particular outlet or workout activity.
Corporate wellbeing, which has taken centre stage globally, is a concept that has been picking up steam in India over the last few years. As most MNCs have the corporate wellness mandate being passed on from their global counterparts and increasing thought leadership around wellness in domestic large corporations we have seen massive increase in corporates sanctioning budgets for wellness or working with partners to curate and enable direct third-party solutions for their employees.
We foresee five million users entering the fitness ecosystem through corporate wellness initiatives in the next five to seven years.

Three fitness moves to try in your week off – Sydney Morning Herald
One study from November found strength training (including bodyweight training) is as good as aerobic exercise for weight management, while another found it is also as effective as aerobic training for reducing the likelihood of depression (though the combination of the two was the most effective).
Loading
Separate research from October found that we are four times less likely to have a heart attack if we exercise regularly, incorporating both strength and aerobic, while another study, published in July, found that resistance training improves the ability to think and reduces age-related memory loss. At least it does in rodents.
Dr Jason Bennie, a senior research fellow from the University of Southern Queensland, has led and been involved with many of the latest studies into strength.
He says there is some research to suggest that compared with aerobic exercise, strength training has more favourable effects on cognitive function and memory.
Other things such as mastery of skills, and the fact that [strength training] occurs most likely during leisure time, where someone has the freedom to do this activity, are all likely to play a role, he adds.
Previous research has found doing strength-based exercise just twice a week supports metabolism and bone density as we age as well as cognitive function. Strength training improves insulin sensitivity, markers of glucose metabolism as well as lipid metabolism, increasing HDL cholesterol and decreasing LDL cholesterol.
It is also linked with a 23 per cent reduction in risk of premature death by any means, and a 31 per cent reduction in cancer-related death.
All of this is important for two reasons. The first is that, historically, fitness research has focused on aerobic exercise and secondly because too few of us do enough aerobic exercise and even fewer do enough strength.
More than half of Australian adults dont meet the physical activity guidelines of 30 minutes of moderate physical activity five days a week, nearly 80 per cent dont meet the muscle strength guidelines of two sessions a week and only 15 per cent of Australian adults meet both.
Yet adding some squats, sit-ups and push-ups requires no equipment nor any special location. You can crack a few each evening on your living room floor while you watch Netflix and, mostly, chill.
Loading
An added advantage to starting these three exercises this week is that they also take very little time, and starting with something very short and very easy is the best way to establish a new habit, according to experts.
Starting with whatever you can squeeze into 30 seconds or two minutes helps you effectively wire in the behaviours you want so they become habits and grow naturally, explains B.J. Fogg, director of Stanfords Behaviour Design Lab, in his book, Tiny Habits.
So while these exercises might seem glaringly obvious and basic, they may just be the gateway to a healthier, fitter and stronger new decade for you.

Celebrity Fitness Professional Jon Gallo, LMT, CPT, Now Offers Fun, Healthy, High-Intensity Results Boxing and Fitness Inside the East Brunswick Mall…
EAST BRUNSWICK, N.J. (PRWEB) December 25, 2019
Celebrity fitness pro and author Jon Douglas Gallo is now offering what people are calling the best and most fun workout theyve ever experienced. Gallo recently opened Results Boxing and Fitness in the Brunswick Square Mall in East Brunswick, NJ, as a 50-minute high-intensity group workout designed around the core fundamentals of boxing.
Results Boxing is a healthy and entertaining fitness experience that places vital emphasis on the fun factor. Members reap the results of an authentic boxing gym experience, but in the sleek style of a luxurious, family-oriented fitness studio. Not only does the program teach the art of boxing but it also torches fat, burns calories, and maximizes the benefits of time spent working out. You learn while you burn, says Gallo. Proper technique leads to progressive growth and reduced risk of injury. You learn practical self defense and boost your confidence. Our goal is to inspire and motivate people to transform not just their bodies but their lives.
Gallo intentionally designed the unique program with fun, transformational fitness in mind for kids AND adults at any level.
Boxing may be the purest form of exercise, he explains, and the most efficient way to enhance athleticism and get you in the best shape of your life. By making it more fun, its easier to stick to a fitness routine and get visible results. The Results Boxing systems blends shadow boxing, bag work, hand pad work, and bodyweight exercises in a nightclub themed environment. It also incorporates kettle bells, medicine balls, battle ropes, and other phenomenal equipment. The facilitys innovative Aqua Training bags provide superior resistance with less impact, enabling boxers to train harder and more realistically, with reduced risk of injury. Results Boxing also has a high-tech Fit 3-D body scanner to measure and track progress, plus a suspension station for bodyweight training and stretching. Members also love the unique way it lets them multitask while sticking to a fitness routine, says Gallo. Being located inside the Mall has many benefits and there is always has ample parking. Drop the kids off and go get your workout. Then eat, shop, or meet up with friends or business associates, all under one roof. Its never been easier or more convenient to get fit. We also offer health and wellness therapies such as sports massage in our Now Im Fit facility, located in nearby Milltown, NJ.
Gallo also wants to pay it forward and share his success by making Results Boxing available to other fitness businesses. I learned how profitable it is to open a business within a business, says Gallo, because I built the Xtreme Couture MMA clubs that operated within my own health clubs. You can offer your fitness customers a new experience and expanded services to generate higher revenues with minimal investment. Results Boxing offers a variety of models to suit any size fitness center and will assist with the entire build-out, talent acquisition, and training to get it up and running.

Fitness Diaries: Tips for choosing a gym that fits your New Year’s resolutions – Colorado Springs Gazette
The year is quickly coming to an end, and we are moving into a new decade. January is the perfect time for a fresh start while putting the stresses of the previous year behind us. Most of us feel compelled to establish New Years resolutions, with fitness and wellness goals being added to the top of the list.
Along with setting resolutions, its common to join a gym. But within a month, the motivation to exercise often fades and we find ourselves back where we started. Its a vicious cycle Ive witnessed every year while working in the fitness industry for the past 10 years.
So how do we stop this continuous letdown?
Gyms tend to offer reduced pricing on memberships and enrollment fees at the start of the year. I encourage you to take advantage of those deals, but dont let that be the only factor in selecting a fitness facility.
Before signing up for a membership, evaluate if its a place you will go regularly. Athletic clubs, gyms, wellness centers, country clubs, recreation centers and fitness studios all provide something a little different for everyone.
Taking advantage of everything your new fitness home has to offer is just one of the many ways you can achieve those resolutions. Here are a few key factors to consider to ensure your investment doesnt go to waste:
Location, location, location: Pick a fitness facility that is between your home and work. This seems like common sense, but its a mistake Ive seen some members encounter . Selecting a place that is out of the way will eventually give you an instant excuse to quit going. Convenience is key, especially as you begin to incorporate a healthy habit into your busy lifestyle.
Group fitness and personal training options: It can be intimidating to walk into a gym for the first time. The amount of equipment can be overwhelming and cause confusion on how to begin. Evaluate the group fitness class schedule. Is there a variety of classes offered? Do they align with the your fitness goals ? Group fitness classes take the guesswork out of your workout while also helping you establish a regular exercise routine.
If you hate the thought of working out in a group setting, personal training may be your go-to option. Personal training is typically perceived as being expensive and solely for those with disposable incomes. But remember, this is an investment in becoming a better you. Scheduling training sessions will keep you accountable as you become more familiar with how to use weights and cardio equipment properly and effectively. Make sure to sit down with a personal trainer for a free consultation before purchasing sessions to ensure this fitness professional can clearly articulate a plan of action to guide you in meeting your goals.
The extras: Does the fitness facility offer special events or themed fitness parties? How about an area where you can get a massage? Do you see yourself using the pool area or basketball court? Some facilities dont offer any of these amenities, which is fine. But keep in mind, some of these extras can keep you motivated and offer the opportunity to build long-lasting friendships within the community as you attend your fitness facility more frequently.
Something for the kids: Going to the gym should be a family affair. Taking your children or grandchildren with you is a great way to establish a healthy routine early in your kids lives. It gets them active while they learn crucial social skills. Scope out what activities and services are available for children of all ages. Your workout time is precious, so make sure you feel comfortable leaving your kids with the child care staff as you focus on you. If your kids get excited about going to the gym, then theyll most likely push you to make it part of your regular routine.
Stephanie Swearngin is a group fitness instructor at VillaSport Athletic Club and Spa and at VASA Fitness in Colorado Springs.

Apple Watch: The best fitness features to make sure you achieve your health goals – The Independent
Apple Watches have, in recent years, become a staple holiday gift. But with their focus on fitness, the time they really come into their own is a few days later, as people head into the new year with new goals to become more healthy or better trained.
The Watch can be a powerful tool to track your fitness and keep you motivated as you head into January with fresh resolutions and new goals. But like any powerful tool, you have to use it right: it is packed with a variety of exercise and health tracking features, but the sheer number and depth of them can sometimes be confusing.
Getting to grips with both a new workout regime and a new smartwatch can be as taxing as the exercise itself. But thankfully there are plenty of ways to make it easier and focus on putting that effort into your new fitness.
Sharing the full story, not just the headlines
The Independent spoke with Apple fitness and health boss Jay Blahnik to explain how to make the Watch work for you, and how to ensure that your new Watch works for your new goals.
The central part of the Apple Watch's fitness tracking is its system of rings. As you'll find as soon as you set it up, it watches you each day to see whether you can fill up the circles that count up to a certain number. Everything else flows from there.
Russia has launched a humanoid robot into space on a rocket bound for the International Space Station (ISS). The robot Fedor will spend 10 days aboard the ISS practising skills such as using tools to fix issues onboard.
