COMFORTABLE, RELAXED, RESTORED, EMPOWERED .

It’s not how most would describe a fitness facility — until they have been in Fit Elements. Your first step in the door is like stepping into your best friend's home — no expectations, no pretenses. The reason? “We want women to find a place where they can just be themselves,” owner Teresa Pazdernik warmly shares, “not a place that they need to get ready to go to.” How does she and her team achieve this? By designing a space for women, by (who better) women!

One step into Fit Elements and you can see how successful this approach has been. Each room brings a clean and spacious, spa-like feel. "We cater to women who are looking for a place to unwind from their busy lives, whether that is through fitness, relaxing at the spa, or just a place to get away and spend time focusing on their self care,” says Morgan Hausauer, marketing coordinator for Fit Elements. Over the last year, the facility has made some extensive renovations and additions to bring everything a woman needs to one place. No doubt, a busy woman’s dream!

The gym itself offers weights and cardio equipment, as well as personal training and small group training programs. In addition to over 50 fitness classes offered weekly, perhaps what they are most known for is their daring classes: “gravity” and “silk yoga.”. After a great workout, a healthy meal or snack is available onsite within the facility. No need to rush out to your car in the cold and drive elsewhere. The onsite smoothie bar offers nutritious drinks and snacks to refuel. They also offer personalized nutrition assessments and counseling, as well as weight loss programs to help women reach their own personal goals.

Let face it though, sometimes after a hectic day, we all need a little pampering. Fit Elements promises to take care of those needs as well. As Pazdernik points out, “We want to provide everything for the full woman.” They offer everything from hot stone massages, cupping and facials; to spray tans, hair removal and nail services. Could you have a reason to stop in to Fit Elements each day? Absolutely. According to Pazdernik, “The entire space is a place that you can come and make it whatever experience you want and need that day.”

Perhaps one of the most prominent times when a little toning, good nutrition and relaxation is needed is leading up to a bride’s big day. Fit Elements has so much to offer, including the unexpected. “Starting at her bachelorette party with silk yoga and full lounge access, we’ll take care of the decorating and clean up,” Hausauer explains. “We can also help with all of the preparation that goes into the big day, including personal training nutrition counseling and facial and chemical peel services to get the bride glowing.”

Even the day of, they have space and services to prep the bride and her wedding party. But most intriguing is Fit Elements “bridal bootcamp” — eight weeks of personal training, body wrap, lipolaser, and spray tanning. It takes "sweatin’ for the wedding” to a whole new level.

Needless to say, Fit Elements has evolved tremendously over the last year, offering more than it ever has before. But the reason behind it comes down to something deeper for Pazdernik, "It is a place you can come and feel comfortable and empowered. And as a place especially for women, empowerment is really what it’s about.”
