SWEAT ONCE A DAY Body Factory in Lafayette is changing the way you move By Heather Salsman

ith so many new gyms and types of workouts, it can be difficult for some individuals to decide which one is the best one for them. If you’re looking for a great sweat, group-motivated environment and exercises that are easy on your body, Body Factory is the whole package and more. Body Factory is a local fitness boutique, owned by Vince Purpera. It offers two unique services that can’t be found anywhere else in Lafayette. LAGREE FITNESS
Lagree Fitness is a fullbody conditioning fitness
method that is practiced on the Megaformer M3S. This method is intense on the muscles to strengthen the body, tone and elongate the muscles, improve endurance, jump-start the metabolism, burn fat and increase flexibility. The 45-minute Lagree class is done as a group and everyone is able to move at their body’s own pace and comfort. CLIMB CLASS
The CLIMB class is a 30-minute group routine on the VersaClimber. It gives the body a full cardio workout and tones all the major muscles of the arms, chest, shoulders, back, hips, butt and legs
in one fluid motion. This type of exercise is lowimpact meaning there is no pounding of knees, joints or hips, lowering the risk of bodily stress and injury that is sometimes seen in other group-based training. If you really want to challenge yourself, sign up for the combo
class, which is 30 minutes of Lagree and 15 minutes of CLIMB. Body Factory offers different price packages, private sessions and is conveniently located next to Rachael’s Café. Find out more information on bodyfactorylft.com and get your body moving!
