Changes at Aire

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011

Things, They’re a Changin’

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Aire Urban Performance Co-operative has been streamlined and upgraded from our training department down to our very name. Our gym is now called Aire Urban Fitness, just to clear up the confusion about us being an oxygen bar. We’ve spent some time hitting the books and revamped our training techniques to be more effective and get you to your goals faster.

So you must be thinking, ‘what does this mean for me?’ Aire now has over 25-group classes a week with new highly qualified instructors, a cutting edge training department, an expanded Pilates Department and more of our TRX classes that are like always, second to none.

Starting next week, there will be an onsite esthetician who will offer traditional facials and peels along with express treatments for those of you that can’t sit still for more than 30-minutes; spray tans if you haven’t been getting your base tan on. For more information on her services, click here.

We are still the best TRX gym in San Diego and because of demand, we have added more classes. If you asked me what our best class and attraction was, it would have to be our TRX classes taught by the flawless and sometimes cruel (just when she’s teaching) Jen VanderSanden. We’ve added Spin by Karl Coleman, who is an insanely competitive triathlete and knows his way around a bike.  A new addition is Cycle & Flow with Jennifer Tipton. Cycle & Flow is perfect because you spin yourself up nice and tight for the first 25-minutes and then bring the intensity down and stretch out with Yoga for the next 25-minutes. We’ve also added Kettlebells at 6am, which is great combination of weights and cardio taught by Daniel Soto.  He is RKC certified which means unlike a dude who just figured it out watching YouTube videos, he passed a pretty strenuous test to say he can teach Kettlebells. If you like that burning feeling in your muscles you need to come to Lisa Liles’ Mat Pilates class. Last but certainly not least is AJ Miller and Mike Sherbakov’s Weightflifting Class. The best way to describe it is to imagine a bootcamp class’s big brother. It has similar elements but hits heavier and harder.

For those swim, bike, run fanatics we have one of the only two CompuTrainers in SoCal so bring your bike down, hook in to the CompuTrainer and preview any of the 70.3 and full Ironman courses offered.

That’s a general class description and in later blogs I’ll go into more detail about why these classes can benefit you and what each kind of exercise is all about.

Best,

Aire Athlete Dispatch from Boise 70.3

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Good Times (sort of) in Boise
A few quick notes here on the Boise 70.3 as I am late to the game as far as race reports go and I don’t simply want to repeat what everyone else has already said.

Boise is a really pretty town with a great vibe, I highly recommend a visit (stay downtown)
The country side is beautiful
The course, on a good day, would be very, very fast
Yes, it was ridiculously windy and I, like Felipe and Chris, was riding a disc. Not great under any circumstances but with my lack of bike handling skills…..fugetaboutit
The water was cold, but the air temp was warm = not so bad. Loved the first race in the new DeSotto suit
Easily the best run course I have seen along and over the river on very fast (on a good day) route
Big congrats to all of Team Breakaway racers but especially Whitney for backing up St. George with another AG win and a slot to Clearwater and C. Berg for 2nd AG and a return trip to Clearwater
And finally it was especially great to see my good friend Ben and his wife who DROVE up from Boulder to race (Ben) and hang out after.

Best of all there don’t appear to be any injury set backs. I only had 3, 6 mile runs coming into Boise and I didn’t know what to expect. Out of the water 71st, off the bike 21st and 12th to finish off the run for my best half Ironman placement. Next time out I plan to be joining the Clearwater crew……

Thanks to Adam and Catlin at Thrive Wellness as well as Nick at Muscle Specialists for putting me back together!

Next up IM Switzerland.

Stay tuned for the next installment….
