Did you know we lose up to 60% of our strength as we age?
The truth is that walking and other weight-bearing activities like jogging do not stimulate improvements in strength. And moderate intensity strength training where no meaningful demands are put on the musculature also does not.
The bottom line? All exercise is not created equal.
Exercise must force the body to make a positive adaptation. These positive adaptations include increased bone mineral density, improved metabolic function, strength gains, weight loss, balanced hormonal levels, and more.
To make workouts the most effective possible, The Exercise Coach utilizes Right Intensity Training™, where meaningful demand is being put on the muscles. As muscles become stronger and capable of generating more force, the surrounding structures, including tendons, ligaments, and bone, must also become stronger. This is why Right Intensity Training is ideal.
The Exercise Coach, which is new to Tempe, is a “smart fitness studio” that relies on artificial intelligence and robotics instead of dumbbells and treadmills. Outfitted with proprietary high-tech computerized “Exerbotics” machines instead of traditional equipment, The Exercise Coach’s personalized programs are optimized for efficiency, requiring only two 20-minute workouts per week that can’t be matched in effectiveness with even seven days a week of traditional activity-based exercise.
The Exercise Coach’s robotic exercise technology is combined with the guidance of certified coaches to provide a unique, comprehensive approach to fitness designed to be a perfect fit for anyone, regardless of current fitness levels or age.
The brand is a franchise with over 200 locations. Cheryl Campell opened the Tempe location in 2023.
“My passion is health and wellness and the Exercise Coach is a way to help others maximize the benefits of their workout and help spread the word that strength and muscle help transform the way people age,” she says. "Smart strength training is truly revolutionary."
The studio creates a dynamic exercise experience that blends personalized strength and interval cardio training in each session. The machines adjust each workout to a person’s strengths and weaknesses in real time, helping them get the most out of their workouts and avoid injury. Each member has their own profile in the machines, which automatically make the exercises harder as a person gets stronger, so there is never a plateau, and the member is competing against themselves. The custom workout is sensitive to limits, past injuries, and individual goals and challenges. You can’t cheat as it sees your effort based on your strength.
