Working out in New Hope

For the Locals:

It's not always about eating here at the New Hope Yocal; sometimes its about working off that delicious food! Yep, in New Hope we can be fit and fabulous! If you haven't already, go check out the local gyms.

My top pick right now is definitely Body Tech in Lambertville. They have taken over the old Centre Club behind Riverhorse Brewery and have made quite a lovely little workout spot. "Little" may not be a good descriptor because in fact, they have a nice sized main facility, complete with gym, coffee and beverage area, fitness studio, child care center, spinning room, tanning room, massage offices, large yoga and dance studio.

I was also very impressed with their personal trainers and staff. Everyone is very professional and friendly. After being a member for only a month and half, I have never seen a day yet where any employee has been anything but kind and helpful.

Body Tech also has a lot of great services. They offer free towel service and great childcare, again, completely free in the membership (no extra fees!). The kids have a ball in the colorful, clean, fully equipped room moderated by some very fun people. The facility, overall, is extremely clean and basically has everything you could need in a gym. Aside from benches, free weights, universals and weight machines, they have plenty of cardio machines such as treadmills, ellipticals, bikes and stair climbers and many with TVs with CD/DVD players.

Also, the room is also very well ventilated and nicely spaced. You most certainly don't feel like you have to squeeze through machines to walk down the aisle.

The only trouble I have noticed is the parking and that usually is around the time they have multiple classes running, sometime between 9 and 10ish. Usually it is not a big problem but occasionally, you have to wait for a spot.

The best thing though by far of Body Tech is the variety of classes. They have everything; just to name a few, they have Zumba, Step, Total Body Workout, On the Ball Classes, Pilates, a variety of Yoga, Tai Chi, and even Moving Mediation. It's no joke people, if you can't find a class you like here, you are nuts.

Zumba is energizing and fun...On the Ball will work you out and Moving Mediation is an experience like no other. The fact that all these classes are part of the monthly price makes Body Tech well worth your dollar. Go check them out; they are running lots of new member specials!
