Finding the time for a workout amidst a busy schedule can seem impossible. With so many other important things happening in a single day, scheduling the time for an hour-long fitness routine may seem like a chore. A new fitness center in Jacksonville Beach has come up with the perfect solution to incorporating a healthy workout into a full lifestyle: 20-minute workout sessions.
Fit20, a brand new private-fitness studio with two locations in Jacksonville, opened its doors to the public in May of 2020. Since then, it has helped hundreds of clients achieve a faster and more efficient style of working out.
“This is a great, quick way to get strength straining in for the week, and to build endurance,” said Krista Patrick, marketing manager of the Fit20 studios.
At Fit20, clients sign on for 20 minutes of muscle-burning and strength-building once a week with a personal trainer in a private studio. You will not find large classes or group workouts at this studio, instead, Fit20 specializes in a completely customized and one-on-one experience with a trained professional.
The studio is kept at a constant 63° F, which means that clients do not have to worry about changing into workout clothes or hopping in the shower once they wrap up. The experience is meant to be fast, easy and efficient, perfect for anyone.
“The very busy people,” said Patrick, “we get them in and out and on their way. It is a great supplement.”
On a client’s first training session, trainers will take around 45 minutes to discuss health and fitness goals, perform a health assessment and introduce the science of slow-motion resistance training. The studio uses eight different machines to give clients a variation of options in their 20- minute session.
“[The 20-minute sessions] are less volume with reps, but higher weight with timing,” said Patrick.
Fit20 prides itself on being a unique approach to personal training options, boasting one of the most affordable memberships in Northeast Florida. And since the studios are private, and training is never more than one-on-one or two-on-one, the Fit20 studios provide a safe space to knock out an invigorating workout despite the pandemic.
Patrick said that the trainers are excited to “educate the community on the importance of healthy living and fitness,” and that they look forward to providing a perfect environment for busy individuals.
Fit20 has two locations: one in Jax Beach and another in Tapestry Park. They are open six days a week, and interested clients can visit their website to book a reservation or purchase memberships.
