SILVER STARS FITNESS: MOVE, FEEL AND LOOK BETTER WITH OUR SMALL CLASSES (SPONSORED)

Silver Stars Fitness, a fitness studio that specializes in working with the baby boomer & beyond client is on a mission to educate and motivate as many men and women over the age of 50 as possible.

Silver Stars boasts an extremely diverse clientele ranging from those who are extremely fit to those who have been inactive for a while and might have various orthopedic concerns.

Some of the classes being offered at Silver Stars are Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Balance & Fall Prevention, Total Strength & Conditioning, Tennis and their much talked about 30 minute FIT FOR LIFE circuit classes.

greenspan2“The benefits of Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi as a compliment to a well rounded fitness program are limitless. Between the three disciplines, you get to work on balance, core, mobility/flexibility, stability, strength, cardio and you even can relief stress,” says Jason Greenspan, owner of Silver Stars (pictured at right). These are extremely important aspects of fitness, especially as we age. The instructors who are teaching our classes are true professionals, as they all have over ten years experience. Some even certify other instructors. Just as important, they’re bright, friendly and passionate about teaching and helping people achieve their goals.”

Classes are very small as most are between three and six people, as opposed to the typical class of ten or twenty in the large commercial clubs, Movements and exercises can be modified specifically to your needs and goals.

Clients have their choice of signing up for 5 weeks or have the option to sign-up for individual classes as per availability. Most classes are one hour except the “FIT FOR LIFE” circuits, which are 30 minutes.

The cost for the Yoga, Pilates and Tai Chi classes is $100 for five weeks of classes. Participation in individual classes is $25.

Balance/Fall Prevention, Tennis and Total Body Strength & Conditioning will max out at FOUR people, so the class really simulates private training. The cost is $225 per 5 weeks or $50 per individual class. Personal Training, Private Yoga, Pilates Tai Chi and Massage Therapy are also an option. Parties and lectures are also held throughout the year.

“Our integrated approach to designing fitness programs helps to improve many aspects of fitness, which improve one’s quality of life,” Greenspan says. “We just don’t work on Strength, SIT on machines or SIT on a bike or walk on the treadmill. That approach is certainly better than doing nothing, but is only a small piece of the puzzle. Our focus is to train for life, which requires not only strength done in a standing position, but many other key components such as posture, flexibility, balance, proper movement, stability around joints, agility, power, quickness, coordination and cardiovascular endurance. We also discuss proper recovery and nutrition with our clients.”

The Silver Stars fitness philosophy has spread through presentations at fitness conferences throughout the city and country.

At Silver Stars Fitness studio, there is no membership fee, no hustle & bustle, and no distractions; just a lot of passion and knowledge to share with clients.

Instructors are all certified, experienced and specifically trained to design fitness programs for the baby boomer & beyond client.

20% off PRIVATE services including Personal Training, Yoga, Pilates Massage Therapy, Tai Chi, etc… Sale is valid until January 31, 2016.

Silver Stars also offers an In- Home Service for those that aren’t able to come to the studio or for people who just like the convenience of training at home.

If you’re tired of the large class and are looking for instructors that really care, contact Silver Stars to set up a free consultation @ 646-573-9724 or @ www.silverstarsfit.com/info@silverstarsfit.com Silver Stars is located @ 850 7th Ave (West 54/55th Street).
