New science-backed programming gym to open in West U

A new gym that focuses on science-backed programming and technology will open in West University Place in April.

What’s special about it?

Body Fit Training will open a new location on Bissonnet Street. BFT focuses on a few approaches that co-owner Tom Waguespack said make them different:

• Coaching: Classes are led by certified trainers who work with members on form and technique
• Programming: Science-backed programming is designed to progress members along their journey in 10-week blocks
• Technology: Heart rate technology focuses on what the heart rate should be according to the current workout

Waguespack, who owns the gym along with Angelica Ortiz, said BFT is for all strength and health levels.

“You can have someone who is just starting right next to someone who is an athlete,” Waguespack said. “What we’re looking to create is an experience for our members, but also be part of a community.”

Waguespack said BFT is results-, progression- and community-based.

“We strive to achieve tangible results for our members. Our programs are designed to continuously improve our members’ lives,” he said. “We believe that members will look forward to visiting the studio as they feel a sense of community and get better results.”

BFT is currently running a promotion for a 25% discount on a membership until it officially opens.
