WHY:
New York’s first "machine-free," sports-emulation high performance fitness center, AEROSPACE leaves the machines behind to focus on the power you have inside. AEROSPACE unites the best workout techniques from professional sports with the balance and individualized service that drives the success of the luxury spa industry to offer the most savage and serene workout experience on the planet.

After 12 years of packed classes as a leading instructor at New York City's top health clubs, Olajide joined forces with Fazel to launch an AERO revolution that unites the body, mind and spirit for the ultimate fitness experience.

DESIGN:
Conceived by Michael Olajide, Jr. and Leila Fazel and realized by architects John Lederer of Shelter Design and Michael Nolan of MN Design, AEROSPACE is a two-story, 7,000 square-foot fitness center that embodies the team’s philosophy of sleek. Using modern, minimal design, facilities include:

• AERO STUDIOS for the popular AERO group classes;
• OPEN SPACE for personalized cardiovacular and muscle-sculpting programs, AERO audio workouts and sparring in a sleek boxing ring;
• IMPACT TRAINING CENTER featuring full-circuit boxing equipment;
• AEROPOD™, first-ever personal audio/video projection training and meditation rooms;
• RELAXATION SUITES for reflexology and massage treatments; and
• LUXURY AMENITIES including lavish locker rooms and a sexy AERO lounge.

AERO WORKOUTS:

AEROJUMP® (30-60 minutes): Using Olajide's specially designed poly-nylon jump rope called the "Rainmaker" (because you will sweat), the AEROJUMP® workout helps clients perform like pro athletes, increase metabolism and burn more calories than any other workout on earth. AEROJUMP® leads clients through training moves including crossovers, double turns, one-leg and slow motion jumps as well as light hand weight exercises and lower body lunges. One 45-minute advanced-level AEROJUMP® session burns 1,200 calories. Benefits include enhanced muscle strength, cardiovascular health, endurance, concentration and weight reduction. "AEROJUMP® is the evolution of fitness" says Olajide. "You walk before you run, and JUMP before you fly."

AEROSCULPT™ (30-60 minutes): Combining isometric and plyometric workout techniques, AEROSCULPT™ incorporates challenging muscle isolation exercises, explosive reflex training and high-speed movements with light weights to increase muscle definition, boost strength and burn optimum fat. Clients' upper body moves work the bicep, tricep, shoulder and back while lower body moves shape thighs, calves, quads, hamstrings and backsides. "It's more effective than any surgeon's scalpel," Olajide says.

AEROIMPACT™ (60 minutes): Utilizing AEROSPACE's impact training center that features double-end bags, speed bags, heavy bags and body snatchers, clients don hand wraps and boxing gloves for a thorough, user-friendly workout that hones their skills like professional boxers and kick boxers. Working individually and with partners, clients develop endurance, speed, cardiovascular health and agility by practicing jabs, hooks, uppercuts and kicks. "It's time to make contact!" says Olajide.

YOAERO™ (60 minutes): In additional to Olajide's high-energy fitness classes, AEROSPACE offers comprehensive spa services including reflexology, massage, guided meditation and YOAERO™, AERO-style yoga that combines breathing,
visualization, stretching and isometric floor exercises.
