Movement Training
PhilosoFit, a private movement-training studio, opened this month in the DeSanti building on Lumber Lane in East Hampton. The studio, owned by Ari Weller, a private fitness trainer, offers movement therapy to “help clients re-establish authentic, pain-free movement while changing their bodies.” The goal, Mr. Weller said in a release, is to “build a better body by first building a solid movement base.”
Trainers use such methodologies as functional strength training, Pilates, Gyrotonics, NeuroKinetic therapy, Ki-Hara resistance stretching, and heart-rate variability training.
Melissa Roach, a Pilates teacher who had her own studio here, on Newtown Lane, will run PhilosoFit’s Pilates program. In addition to the Pilates machines, the studio will have a cardiovascular section with self-powered cardio tools that “force functional muscle performance as the electronic mechanism.” And, according to Mr. Weller, the studio will be the first in East Hampton with multiple year-round certified Gyrotonics trainers. Its Web site is philosofit.com.
