A Rare Gem of a Gym
Making a fitness routine work with small children is a
challenge sometimes greater than the fitness routine itself.
Hakim Isler, owner of Elevo Dynamics on Person Street, has
created a solution. e gym, open since 2013, is accessible
24 hours a day for members over 14 years old. What's truly
unique about the Elevo experience is that caregivers can
exercise while watching their kids learn Ninjutsu from Isler
and his team.
For years, Isler watched parents sit and watch their students
train, too busy to work out themselves, so he enclosed the
training hall in glass and flanked it with exercise equipment.
Isler's goal is to promote health and wellness for the whole
family in the "dojym," he said. "Kids love to be seen and
acknowledged when they do great, and they are able to see
their parent exercising and paying attention," he said.
Since pandemic regulations loosened, Isler has observed
parents keen to be in the middle of the hustle and bustle.
Youth ages 4 and older can learn Ninjutsu, an ancient
Japanese martial art which prizes mental, emotional and
physical strength. "It's not a watered-down version of martial
arts. We use traditional methods that have been time-tested
and proven to work," said Isler.
