#Adulting: Fitting in your fitness – WRIC

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) This week, 8News reporter Roxie Bustamante is taking on the challenges of #Adulting.

In the heart of Scotts Addition, sits Turn Cardio Jam Studio bringing unique workout classes to the Richmond area.

Richmond is on this verge of a fitness explosion, owner Sandi Cauley said. Theres so many unique programs coming in that weve never had before. We just used to have the same ole, same ole and its so great to see all these pop ups and new places. I think you should just try it.

Cauley said when she was adulting, moving from one place to another, she was always looking for different ways to stay active while engaging with her community.

The idea of going to the gym to me meant lifting weights or just going in on a bunch of machines and treadmills and not necessarily that back room part where the cardio classes happen, Cauley said. So, what do you just call that backroom? We knew it was cardio and we knew it was exercise based and then it got clunker and clunker, so we just narrowed it down to Cardio Jam Studio.

Heather Mazeika is one of the only certified instructors in the Richmond area that teaches a unique exercise called Volee.

Volee is new to the Richmond area, Mazeika said. It is a combination of traditional TRX suspension style training with Pilates, ballet movements, bar movements. Its pretty cool. Its got some cardio aspect to it. Its got a lot of good strength training, works the deep muscles, and works the big muscles.

Mazeika teaches the class at Turn Cardio Jam Studio and Fighting Gravity Fitness. She said often she sees people struggling to squeeze in the time to stay active.

We tend to be overscheduled, Mazeika said, and every minute of our day whether its at home or at work, you have to know what youre doing and I think fitness and activity tendto take a backseat for a lot of people. They dont understand the long-term importance of it.

Cauley said at the end of the day, its about finding something that works best for you.

I just dont think that theres one flavor for everyone. I think sometimes when it comes to working out, there are certain things that we know work. Running works, lifting weights, eating well works, but sometimes it can just get stale and boring, so Im really trying to bring in classes that are unique and that you cant find around Richmond, Cauley said. Maybe you would have to go to New York or [Washington] D.C. to get into, but Im bringing them here so that you dont have to travel far and that hopefully, youll stay excited about working out.
