The professionals at Compass provide not only the most state-of-the-art fitness equipment and classes, but also a health club that members can be proud of.
With three convenient locations, competitive prices, and the latest offerings in equipment and classes at Compass Health & Fitness, there’s no excuse for not achieving and surpassing your fitness goals.
Dr. Will Brewer has been working out in various Ocala gyms for over 25 years. For the past five, though, he’s been exclusively with Compass.
“I’m impressed with the quality, well-maintained, and clean equipment, and the friendly and helpful staff make you feel welcomed and valued,” he says. “Compass will point you in the right direction for improved health and fitness.”
As a matter of fact, Compass offers something for all levels of fitness, all age groups, and all interests. A complete selection of group classes are available and feature some of the latest trends in exercise, including Zumba, a popular Latin dance and exercise program. The health clubs also offer Stott Pilates, spinning, yoga, kickboxing, and strength training, just to name a few. One of the newest offerings is also one of the most intense.
“The boot camp class was designed with both indoor and outdoor exercises aimed at pushing your body to new limits,” says Compass Health & Fitness President Adam Bryniarski. “Each of our health clubs has its own class schedule, making it convenient for our members to find something that suits their needs.
“In addition to the classes that are always being updated and spinning classes running constantly at every location, Compass has the latest equipment in all three locations for both strength and cardio workouts designed to maximize our members’ endurance levels,” adds Adam.
With three convenient locations, competitive prices, and the latest offerings in equipment and classes, there’s no excuse for not achieving and surpassing your health and fitness goals.
Each location’s cardio theater features multiple flat-panel screens aimed to entertain while you utilize the treadmills, bikes, rowers, elliptical, and stair climbers. Compass Main also features something not common to other area health clubs—a member assessment room. Containing hydrostatic weighing and VO2 metabolic testing, this room is ideal for an accurate evaluation of a member’s overall health. With that in hand, the Compass training staff can design a proper exercise routine.
“We measure how much physical exertion your body can handle while working out,” says Fitness Director Crystal Hendrix. “Our trainers are all certified and go through an extensive interview process to ensure they bring the right attitude and know-how to Compass.”
“Every new member receives two free orientation sessions with a personal trainer to give them direction on weight management, strength, and also cardio equipment,” Adam adds. “It’s a great way to get our members started on their fitness program.”
After a workout, Compass has several ways to relax and unwind. Whether you’re interested in a healthy smoothie or meal or a therapeutic spa treatment, you won’t have to go far.
Both Compass Main and the Compass East locations offer a full-service breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu at New Directions Café. They perfected the formula of offering healthy selections that are also delicious and satisfying.
Samantha adds that the café is an ideal spot for local business people to enjoy a hearty lunch.
“Once people come in for a meal, they always return,” Samantha says with a smile.
If relaxation and pampering is on your agenda, the Nautical Expressions day spa at Compass Main is a must. Compass member or not, Nautical Expressions offers a vast array of services, including a full-service nail and hair salon, on-site massage therapists, a certified aesthetician, and the latest tanning technologies, including the top of the line Mystic Spray Tan.
“The spa and salon are fantastic ways to indulge yourself,” says Adam. “We also have a full service medical spa opening in early 2009 at Compass Main that features on-site teeth whitening, Botox Treatments, Laser Hair Removal, and more.”
Whether you’re working out or taking part in other services Compass offers, parents can feel confident that their little ones are safe and just a few feet away in the Space Center childcare facility. Bright and colorful, the certified centers at each facility are filled with interactive toys, puzzles, books, and games appropriate for children between six months and 11 years of age.
Compass Health and Fitness’ newest location, Compass X-Press, is conveniently located on SR 200. Open 24 hours a day, this 12,000-square-foot facility is ideal for those whose schedule demands flexibility, such as nurses, officers, and firefighters.
“I find this gym to be so convenient,” says member Jimmy Morejon. “I love that I can come as early or as late as I want, and the staff is great and very helpful.”
While other 24-hour gyms around the country use key cards after hours, Compass X-Press, as well as using key cards, always has someone on-staff in the building, ensuring members a safe workout experience. Trainers are also on-staff through the late-night hours and many are available to come in, 24 hours a day, upon request.
X-Press also features the Human Sport Line from Startrac, one of the latest technologies in strength training.
“The brand new cable designed weight system is easy on the joints and gives users maximum muscle potential as well as definition,” says Adam. “We are constantly updating and upgrading all our health clubs to give members the best quality workout experience available. We also recently added another Stott Pilates Studio to Compass X-Press and we are excited to see members using unique pieces of equipment called reformers for training with certified Pilate Instructors.
Compass East Health and Fitness located on East Silver Springs Blvd in the Publix Plaza is a unique health club on the East side of town with amenities galore. It has the luxuries of a full-service café, revitalizing showers, warm towels, as well as the highest quality tanning beds. Add in the tremendous staff and personal trainers that assist you throughout your workout, and you have a first-class health club experience every time.
While other 24-hour gyms only use key cards afterhours, Compass X-Press always has someone on-staff in the building, ensuring members a safe workout experience.
“Compass is the right choice when choosing a local gym,” Adam says. “You get more for your money. We offer members a safe, clean environment with a dedicated and helpful staff that is extensively trained in customer service for the fitness industry.”
