For some fitness buffs, a workout is just beginning when beads of sweat start rolling down their back. For others, breaking a sweat signifies the end of the workout. The later group, like myself, needs a little added motivation to push through the hour and really burn those calories. That is where BodyScapes, the personal training center, comes into play. Like a fitness angel on your shoulder, the highly experienced trainers here keep you motivated with interesting exercises at a quick pace, all in a calm environment that feels like your own personal gym. After sitting down to discuss your goals and current routine, it isn't long before you are learning everything from new ways to use a medicine ball to just how many push-ups you can do before you are definitely warmed up. There is no time to pause and rest, just onto the next physical fitness challenge. And, unlike a gym, there is no waiting for a machine or feeling silly for strange positions. Manager and Exercise Physiologist at BodyScapes Dyelry (Jerry) Labbate, says the best thing you can do for yourself is make time to do the work. Of course, having Labbate, or one of the other seven trainers, instruct you while speaking encouraging words of wisdom thought a workout isn't too shabby either. Neither are the results their clients see as a result of a personalized workout. Let's face it, it is a lot harder to wimp out when someone is standing there watching you.
Personal training sessions at BodyScapes are available at 1 Huntington Ave. , 617-267-5766.
