Work It
The Fit Shop 729 NE Second Ave., 954.769.1885, thefitshop.com
Not many gyms offer a space where adults and their kids can work out at the same time (in different classes). But at The Fit Shop, you can. Here you’ll find high-intensity kickboxing, a boot camp and performance training in the form of small or large fitness classes, or personal training. With classes such as The Burnout (kickboxing), Supercharge (total body workout) and Exhaust (Pilates/HIIT), there’s something for everyone. They even offer the Full Throttle program: a 12-week transformation that includes a grocery list, macronutrient guidance and access to small group strength training and classes. And for the little athletes, there are classes designed specifically for kids.
