Best Fitness Launches Revolutionary New Fitness Concept in Schenectady

The Chamber and Ambassadors were proud to be in attendance for the grand opening / ribbon cutting of the new Bifitt:60 program launched by the Best Fitness gym in Schenectady.

Best Fitness launched a revolutionary new concept in fitness that transforms its traditional gym into several class studios within a state-of-the-art setting at the Schenectady location.

Best Fitness Schenectady will now include several boutique studios and offerings including: Pure Hot Yoga, Lift Barre, Spin Lyfe Cycle/Cycle Fusion, as well as Bfitt60 group training programs. “Boutique studios are not a new concept in fitness but very few full service gym operators have been able to replicate the boutique feel within their larger fitness facilities. We believe that our approach, with updated locker room amenities, beautiful studio spaces and premium programs, provides a premium boutique experience at a lower cost. Our members and potential members will be introduced to programs and workouts that were previously provided in smaller more expensive specialty studios, not larger gyms,” said Rob Wood who is director of group training for the company.

Best Fitness management and trainers believe strongly in the class concept – they have found that people love them because of the energy and enthusiasm they provide. “Members encourage and celebrate one another as they improve and reach goals,” said Dave Dos Santos who serves as CEO.

As part of the change, Bfitt60 will have its own class space. “Our newest 3,000 square foot studio space will house our Bfitt60 group training program that is designed to help members build muscle, burn calories, increase energy and get the results they were hoping for when they joined Best Fitness.  Our dual program structure includes dedicated strength classes to help build muscle and improve mobility and our burn class that gets the heart pumping with high intensity interval training circuits.  No class ever feels the same and our strength and burn classes are the perfect balance to provide proper recovery and intensity each day,” said Wood.
