Billed by people behind it as a “luxurious boutique training facility,” Kinetix + has come up with ways, including the latest machines and equipment, to help you become stronger and recuperate quicker.
Kinetix + (Plus) one of the country’s leading boutique gym is designed as a “haven” for those committed on pursuing a stronger overall self. It is centrally located at Level 3, Shops at Ayala Triangle Gardens, Makati.
“Strength training, we believe, is an umbrella attribute that you should develop first, in order for you to achieve whatever fitness goal that you have,” says head coach and one of the co-founders of Kinetix +, Marlon Lugue.
As a powerlifter and fitness professional for nearly two decades, Marlon is an advocate of strength training. He believes that one should be strong initially and then use that strength as a foundation to push through the subsequent phases of body improvement. “You have to build that foundation so that later on you can rely on it to help you push through the subsequent phases of your body transformation process, and that’s what we’re working on,” he says. Kinetix + is all about curating experiences for certain types of clients. Grueling workouts shouldn’t be as unpleasant as it should be. “At Kinetix +, we’d like to have their time spent in the gym to be as pleasurable as possible but keeping in mind that they’re here to exercise or train,” Marlon explains.
Kinetix +’s goal of providing the best service for its clients includes a strong emphasis on exclusivity. Because Kinetix + strictly only takes 250 members, the client-to-coach ratio would be quite close, allowing for a more focused fitness training program. The gym has a high ceiling and 900 square meters of space, which can easily accommodate their elite clientele.
The upscale boutique gym features cutting-edge gym equipment, including the Biostrength line machines, which are AI-driven and patented by NASA. Kinetix + is the first in the Philippines and just the second in Asia to house these Biostrength line machines. Kinetix + also contains bespoke gym equipment, from racks to plates, custom-made based on the coaches’ exact specifications and what they want their clients to experience.
Kinetix +’s gym equipment
The fitness facility prides itself on its meticulous attention to detail, including various elements such as lighting, sound, and smells, with the aim of optimizing clients’ workout experience and promoting relaxation throughout their time at the gym.
Luis Gatmaytan, administrative director for Kinetix +, says that it’s not just the actual equipment and training that they’re focusing on, but also the sensory experience when members come to the gym. “We’ve curated the lighting to take advantage of your circadian rhythm, to optimize your performance while you’re at the gym. Even the scents are curated to energize you while you’re at Kinetix +,” says Luis.
“To provide a more holistic approach to our clients, we also have a café wherein they can grab a bite or get coffee,” he adds. Luis, who is a licensed Physiotherapist, also leads the recovery service of Kinetix +. Both Marlon and Luis promote the practice of having a good recovery for every strenuous resistance training.
“We’ve added a few modalities for recovery that are not available in other commercial gyms like this exercise with oxygen therapy, which provides you with a surplus of oxygen while you’re doing cardio exercises. We also have infrared and red-light therapy available. We also have percussion therapy for everyone to use as well as an infrared dry sauna, to name a few” shares Luis.
Kinetix + was created to cater to a variety of individuals. From sedentary individuals attempting to transition to a more active lifestyle, to those who wish to continue strengthening their bodies, to those with specialized sports performance training. It is never too late to become strong. Allow Kinetix + to assist you in becoming a new and stronger version of yourself.
