EnVie Fitness - El Paso

I'm a little embarrassed to say that I actually live quite near Envie Fitness, yet am just now getting the chance to check it out. Also slightly embarrassing is the fact that since it opened up in the plaza with Koze Teppan Grill and Café Italia, I've been getting a regular guilt trip from their sign every time I go to stuff my face with sushi or pizza. Nevertheless, I'm glad I finally got around to giving it a try. This gym is different from most I have seen in the past-- it's a female-only gym that is entirely class-based, with no equipment that you just go in and work out with whenever you feel like. Also, they center many of their classes around something called the MyZone. MyZone is basically a band that goes around your ribcage right near your bra strap. It tracks your heart rate, calories burned, "Effort Points," etc. Effort Points are basically a function of how high you get your heart rate and for how long. It's a whole thing, and there's an app, and I will admit, it's a bit confusing at first, but I will also say that, as of this morning, I've completed three classes with it and already have the hang of it. If you have any questions or hesitation, I would recommend you chat with the trainers on staff there-- they're super helpful in explaining what it's all about.I'll admit I was a little hesitant about joining this gym because the format is so different from anything I had tried before.... but honestly, after the three classes I've taken, I'm sold! I love the fact that your membership fee covers all the classes, with no extra fees. This means that you get a ton of one-on-one or almost-one-on-one time with the trainers for your base fee. At many other gyms I have seen, working with a trainer costs extra, and often costs a LOT more than it does here.The gym, from what I've seen, prides itself on an environment that is supportive, encouraging, challenging, and upbeat. All good things for a fitness studio, whether you are a newbie or a pro at working out!Other pros: - It's clean. Like I-don't-know-how-they-keep-it-this-clean CLEAN.- They run really nice specials on the cost of joining! To give you an idea, the MyZone tracker thingy usually runs about $100 (I'm 90% sure), but I got it for $50. Also, since I signed up after only two classes, instead of taking the full seven day trial that I could have, I only had to pay for the MyZone tracker, and not for the actual membership-- so I got October for only $50! Additionally, they locked me in at a discounted rate of $89 a month because I signed up during a promotion. So price-wise, it's a pretty nice deal. - I believe they even offer childcare by appointment if you have kids. So no more excuses that you can't join a gym because it isn't kid-friendly!- They have a ton of different classes: Zumba, Spinning, Boxing, HIIT, Barre, Yoga, Boot Camps and more!- They switch up their schedule so you don't get bored or have to take the same class over and over, because it's the only time slot that fits into your schedule. Also, they rework the class schedule every month to give even more variety. I'm looking forward to trying all the different classes that they have!Little Known Fact: Envie is an Australian Fitness gym! In speaking to some of the staff, I learned that it's actually quite popular over there, and is just getting started here in the States. So far there are only three U.S. locations, though they do have plans for more. How cool is it that they chose to open one of their three first studios right here in El Paso?! :D

EnVie Fitness, where have you been all my life? I discovered this female only gym by using the YELP ap. Thank you YELP! I've been looking for something different. You know, less stinky, less muscle heads, less eardrum blowing Zumba music. Most of all I was looking for classes that allowed me to workout at an " OMG how did I get this out of shape" level. Their classes are customized so that You can start a level that is safe for you and proceeds all the way to an ultra-fit level. They change their classes up so you're not stuck with the same boring class just because you can only go at 5 pm. This place is my dream 'gym'. Get this, the stAff actually talk to you! They're warm, friendly, and (I'm not lying) nonjudgmental. How is it female-friendly? First of all, the decor is on trend but professional. There are women of all shapes and fitness levels. I have not seen GYM Rat Barbie yet. Just women who are serious about getting/staying in shape. Here's something else. I don't speak Spanish so it always makes me feel left out to be in a group where everyone is happily chatting in Spanish. I'm sure if you need help in Spanish that would not be a problem, but the only language I have heard so far is English. Maybe I will make some friends this time! If you are looking for a warm, inviting place that customizes your workout to your fitness level...get your Soon To Be in Shape bootie to EnVie fitness.

Envie Fitness has changed my life. The owners Maxine and Jennifer know me by name, they know everyone by name and greet with a smile every time anyone walks into the studio. I feel at home when I walk into Envie! The instructors are teachers at heart and will do nothing but support you and push you in the right ways. When I am struggling in class they will stand next to or sit by me to encourage me not to give up. This studio has helped me drop almost 70 pounds and most importantly find myself again. The virtual classes have been a life saver and have helped me manage the uncertainty during this pandemic. I love my studio and can not wait to see what the rest of 2020 brings!

I will always be deeply grateful to EnVie Fitness for the outstanding customer service I received from them. If you are looking for a gym that encourages safe physical challenges coupled with intelligent training instructors, who greet you by name and are ready to support your fitness journey, then EnVie is for you. EnVie deeply impacted my view on health and wellness, and without a doubt, it will affect yours as well. The owners Maxine Stiles and Jennifer Armendariz, pay close attention to detail to provide members with an endless amount of assistance. This was especially evident during the lockdown, where they opened virtual classes and created ZOOM meetings as an avenue to discuss and share ideas on how to conquer stress; they lead with optimism. This boutique-style gym offers various group fitness classes for every taste and personal training with versatile options such as Pole Fitness and Lift and Shred workshops. You will not find uninspired workouts here, but instead the trainers offer electrifying experiences ready to challenge at every class. The gym is kept impeccable, and the classes are small (as you must reserve your spot online). You will not get lost in a vast crowd. In a nutshell, at EnVie you will encounter a dedicated and motivating staff, knowledgeable and caring owners, and an authentic camaraderie among the members. This is what makes this niche set in the middle of Joe Battle, distinct from other fitness centers. I recommend EnVie Fitness highly.
