Island Fitness

Island Fitness Bringing Strength, Flexibility, and Balance to our community. We like to say that Island Fitness is your club in the heart of Bainbridge Island.

Island Fitness was built on the cornerstone that exercise is the one true elixir of life and the only scientifically proven method to reverse certain aspects of aging. Just as exercise science is always developing, we are constantly bringing in and developing new programs to motivate our members, keeping them interested and keeping the pathways to success varied and full of choices. Founded in 2002 by Alexa and Michael Rosenthal, Island Fitness has continued to grow, expanding our facilities, updating our equipment and providing educational support for our employees. We’re in the heart of Bainbridge Island in the downtown core of Winslow, and in the heart of Bainbridge Island as evidenced by being voted “The Best Place to Work Out” by a reader poll in the Bainbridge Review.

Your feet were made to move! 👣

When was the last time you really thought about how your feet interact with the ground?

Spending some time walking barefoot on safe, varied surfaces can challenge the small muscles of the feet, encourage mobility through the toes and joints, and give your brain more sensory information about the surface beneath you. That connection can play an important role in balance, coordination, and the way we move from the ground up.

You don’t need to overhaul your routine, either. Start small, choose a safe surface, and simply give your feet a chance to feel, move, and adapt.

👣 Spread your toes.
🌿 Explore different textures.
🧠 Give your brain new sensory input.
💪 Keep those feet moving!

Sometimes a little more connection to the ground can be a great addition to the way we train.

Would you try adding a little barefoot time to your day? 👇

🎉🎂 Happy Birthday to Ann New! 🥳

Today we’re celebrating a very special member of the Island Fitness family—our longtime Ortho-Kinetics® Specialist Trainer, Ann New!

Ann has been part of Island Fitness since 2002, bringing more than two decades of experience, knowledge, and a lifelong love of movement to our community. 💪

And when we say lifelong, we mean it! Ann’s journey with movement began with tap dancing at age 7, eventually leading her to ballet, jazz, modern dance, competitive swimming, a B.S. in Ballet, performing with the Indianapolis Ballet Theatre, and even opening her own ballet school. 🩰✨

Her passion for teaching eventually expanded into group fitness and personal training, where she discovered just how much she loved helping people build strength and stay active.

Today, Ann helps her clients train for what matters most to THEM—whether that’s hiking the Olympics, cycling, running, gardening, playing sports, or simply having the strength and confidence to keep up with the kids and grandkids.

Ann practices what she teaches, too! In 2017, she accomplished a lifelong dream of walking the 400-mile French Camino. 🥾

From dance and group exercise to personal training and Ortho-Kinetics®, Ann has dedicated so much of her life to helping others keep moving, move well, and continue doing the things they love.

🎈 Happy Birthday, Ann! Thank you for the knowledge, dedication, and many years you’ve shared with Island Fitness and our community. We hope you have a wonderful day!

💪🏼You don’t have to be “in shape” to get started—you just have to start somewhere!🏋️‍♀️

This week at Island Fitness, we’re making movement a little more approachable with beginner-friendly classes, simple ways to add activity to your day, and plenty of opportunities to find what works for YOU.

🌟 New to group fitness? Start here!
Whether you’re interested in strength, cardio, balance, flexibility, or simply trying something new, we have beginner-friendly options designed to help you learn, build confidence, and move at your own level.

⏱️ Short on time? Try an Exercise Snack!
Movement doesn’t always have to mean a full hour at the gym. Small bursts of activity throughout your day can be an easy way to break up sitting and make movement part of your routine—even on busy days!

💪 Looking for more guidance?
Our trainers, instructors, Pilates team, and other fitness professionals are here to help you find an approach that fits your goals, experience, and lifestyle.

🍂 Fall is a great time to establish a new routine, try a class you’ve been curious about, or simply commit to moving a little more.

📬 There’s plenty more inside this week’s newsletter! Check out the full Weekly Edition and stay connected with everything happening at Island Fitness.
