NEW PROGRAMS

GOAL! GOAL! It's a destination. It's an achievement. What’s your GOAL? A new program especially for our members to help you achieve and then celebrate your goals! Included in all memberships.

You are not just a client, you are our friends and fitness family! So for you, we introduce GOAL!, a fun and exciting way for Solao’s staff and clients to  motivate, encourage and inspire each other.  We do it already, now we just make it more fun! Through weekly sessions, monthly social activities, fun contests and studio postings, GOAL! is a great way to share the health and fun with information and tips that help you reach your goals and stay on track, whether they be fitness, health or lifestyle related (work, relationships, etc). Held every six to eight weeks, sometimes coinciding with our Fit Plus 6 Program, you tell us your goals and Solao staff and members will motivate you with support and encouragement, offer tips on how to achieve your goals, maybe join you in achieving them and celebrate with you when you reach them! You also have the option to be grouped with a participating Solao staff member’s team that may have similar goals, be “buddied” with a participating member or choose to remain anonymous. At the end of the current GOAL! session,  you can share your achievements with others and get featured in our monthly newsletter.


Open Circuit & Adrenaline Blasts – Included in all memberships. 

OPEN CIRCUIT - A new program designed just for you so you can workout how you want, when you want. A great supplement to your weekly fitness programs, Open Circuits are hour long total body workouts designed by our Fit Plus Team. Each day there is a different workout focusing on toning your entire body and increasing your cardio endurance.  And the best part? You can choose what time you want to work out. The workout of the day is posted online and FitPlus Circuit and Fit Plus members can even log onto our FitPlus page and view the video of the workout being done by our Fit Plus Team before arriving at the Studio. While Open Circuits are generally conducted without an instructor to guide you, you can view many of the workouts in the studio during your session via video feed at the studio. These videos will give you additional tips and show you proper form. Special Open Circuits also include Open Hoop and Open Arcade.

ADRENALINE BLASTS are 30 minute heart pumping cardio blasts featuring movements designed to challenge your strength and cardiovascular endurance.  Designed and led by members from our FitPlus team. Choices include Adrenaline Box, Adrenaline Core, Adrenaline Armed! and more.

FIT PLUS
Our Fit Plus Program has many facets including Open Circuits and Adrenaline Blasts to supplement your weekly fitness programs, small group and personal training sessions, fitness and nutrition management, accountability, exclusive support and more! One of the highlights of our Fit Plus Program is Fit Plus 6.  The Fit Plus 6 program is a great way for you to rev up your fitness programs, get you past a plateau or jump start your fitness goalsEach six week session will be filled with non-stop workouts that are a mix of cardio and strength, pushing you outside of your comfort zone, helping you to get closer to the results you seek and presenting you with the feeling of accomplishment. Our weekly check-ins, complimentary fitness assessments and exclusive Fit Plus events and seminars present an excellent way for you to keep track of your progress and keeps you accountable.  Nutrition management information and tracking is also included.
