Concept Fitness

During the past two months, I joined a new gym called Concept Fitness.  My brother and I joined this gym together so that we could have a special experience to bond through now that I have moved out.  Concept fitness is a circuit based gym. We do a lot of different exercises to incorporate different parts of the body.  This gym puts a heavy emphasis on rowing. Rowing is a great exercise because it uses a lot of different muscles in your body even though it is cardio-based.  The other great part of Concept Fitness is that there is a trainer that coaches you through the different moments and pushes you to always work harder.  The trainers get to know your strengths and give you the correct weight for your body.  Lastly, my favorite thing about Concept Fitness is that it is located on the water and you have a beautiful view of the ocean while you are working out.
