Equinox Fitness features The Epic Workout as part of Symetrie

Palo Alto, CA, 10-8-2009 - The Epic Workout will be a featured class during Equinox Fitness’ six-week Symetrie beginning October 16th, 2010.

The Epic Workout features class a high standard of progressive exercise based on function and natural movements, mindfulness, breath, and conscious relaxation. Epic has been called Yogic Warrior Conditioning, is accessible by people all fitness levels, and offers profound results and experiences. Epic’s functional movements and mindful strength & conditioning makes a big impact in athletics and life skills.

The Epic Workout’s founder, Alex Iglecia, is dedicated to helping people enjoy life, inside and outside. His work spans martial arts, self defense, personal training and program design. Alex studied at Cornell University and later received a MA in Conscious Evolution, and created pioneering body-mind research focusing on how mental and emotional changes occur during physically-focused body practices.

Symetrie is created and led by Kirsten Johnson-Group Exercise Manager, Jayme Boyle-Teacher-Yogi Extraordinaire, and Clyde Wilson-Stanford PhD. This six-week program is nearly filled to capacity and offers two classes each week, expert nutrition coaching, motivational coaching, and more.

Symetrie Featuring The Epic Workout

At Epic, we acknowledge that every training modality makes a specific contribution. This means that  a boxing class doesn’t necessarily need to offer stretching, a running session doesn’t need pushups, and a swimming class doesn’t lead leaping and handstands. It all depends on the results we’re after.

But if we want superior performance and superior experience, then there must be more. Elite athletes like Michael Phelps know the power of breath, relaxation and visualization.

If your goal is to design and train within a well-rounded session, for yourself or others, then you must include breathwork, appropriate stretching and visualization work. Your program is simply handicapped without them, like a four leg stool with only one leg. Ouch!

An Epic class always emphasizes Recovery Breathing, Awareness and a significant Conscious Relaxation practice. To these ends, Epic recommends you check out Inner Getaway, which is hosting a special event on October 20th for just these key lessons: breathing, stretching and visualization.

While Melted Bliss won’t be fitness-related, per se, it will be a retreat worthy of a hero!

“Not all who wanders are lost.”

Wanderlust Festival is happnening in California, the grand state where The Epic Workout now is based. We’ll be exploring and adventuring through the yogic and musical extravaganza this weekend. Join us there!

“I can honestly say that this was the best exercise program that I have had. I’ve done a lot of different things in the past. None of these compare to the positive experience I had with your class.
I took a chance and I have not regretted it. Your class is positive, motivating and respectful of members’ individual strengths. The only yardstick for achievement is that each member tries to improve their own performance and not a competition among the participants. No one is ever made to feel bad. It is a credit to how you have designed the program and in particular the people who taught it. Thank you very much.”
- Clark
