First of its Kind Fitness Studio

Take your workout to new heights with Body Politik—a first-of-its kind boutique fitness studio featuring strength-based, corefocused Lagree classes on the Megaformer machine and cardio pumping Versa Climber, where you vertically climb under a state-of-the-art light show. The brainchild of Elia Covino, a certified coach and instructor who has been teaching Lagree for more than seven years, these full body workouts are like no other. “I love these workouts so much, they complement each other so well. They are both low impact, high intensity. Nothing like this existed in Scottsdale, and I felt it was a void that needed to be filled. Scottsdale being the outdoor city that it is and with hiking so popular, the Versa Climber is the perfect companion—during the workout you can see how many feet you’ve climbed, which allows for easy measurement comparisons to our favorite mountain peaks. In the Versa Climber room you’ll be able to hike the equivalent of Camelback Mountain and be able to do it indoors, which is especially great for when weather or schedules do not allow for an outdoor hike,” she explains. Grateful to bring the dual workout experience to the Valley, Covino shared that she is especially “excited to share my passion for helping all people, at all levels on their fitness journey. We’re bringing forth a powerful new and inviting community for everyone to come and feel safe, have fun, and experience an unmatched workout experience for mind, body, and soul.” Lagree classes are currently available seven days a week, with Versa Climber classes launching January 2023. 8870 N 90th St #106 Scottsdale.
