Training Mate, a high-energy, Australian-inspired fitness concept, will make its debut at the M-K-T shopping center this spring.

Two-minute impact

According to a Feb. 19 news release, the new HIIT fitness studio provides 45-minute high intensity training sessions with cardio and resistance exercises that are designed to burn 1,000 calories per class.

Classes include the Bondi Burn, an upper-body class that provides strength and cardiovascular exercises to tighten and tone arms, chest, back and shoulders; Thunder Down Under, a signature lower-body class designed to tone legs and glutes; and Mighty Mate, the hardest class that rotates through nine full-body exercises in a traditional circuit format focusing on the entire body.

Something to note


The Heights location of Training Mate is the first to open in Houston. Scott Arnoldy, founder of Triten Real Estate Partners, who owns and manages M-K-T, said that the new shops, including Tijon Parfumerie, which opened in February, help create a diversified mix of tenants in the shopping center.

"The addition of these innovative brands not only strengthens our commitment to supporting unique, experience-driven businesses but also elevates M-K-T as a premier destination where culture, wellness and connection intersect," he said. "We're excited to welcome these new tenants and continue shaping Houston Heights as a hub for inspired living."
