New take on fitness at Boom

Boom Fitness, the newest gym in Fairfield, is opened by two young local entrepreneurs: Jeff Stone, 26, and Ti Liptak, 22.

Stone and Liptak decided to create a space to share their passions of fitness and health back in December. The owners grew up in Fairfield and competed in a range of sports. Now they are both competitive crossfit athletes finishing in the top 5 percent worldwide this year.

Boom Fitness has a new take on fitness and the gym experience. They explain the reason 90 percent of people join a gym is to get into better shape, with only 20 percent even going and even less getting real results. Most gyms want people to buy a membership and could care less if members actually show up. Boom Fitness wants people to commit to a minimum of three months of two to three times per week, they even take attendance and follow up with members to see what will get them to classes more frequently. The other problem with standard gyms is members show up, but don?t know what to do to get into shape. At Boom Fitness, coaches program workouts designed for full body results and proper technique and skill sessions are part of most classes.

The functional fitness classes include an active warmup/stretching, skill sessions where new movements are taught, an efficient workout and yoga.

Workouts are always different including basic elements of weightlifting, gymnastics and metabolic condition. Every workout can be adapted to all levels of fitness. Current members? ages range from 9-65.
