OPEX Riverdale NYC

"Why I Opex?
I like things to be formal, organized and planned out. That's exactly what I got from the moment I contacted Opex. Everything ready from sign ups, appointments, schedules etc. Making it very easy to only have to show up. There’s a life outside the gym where we all stress, overeat, not eat at all, lose sleep, track of time & my Opex coach helps manage it all. It's a commitment that you're not alone in. You have a group of coaches that look out for you. ————————————————————They provide different perspectives on how to improve in all aspects of our lifes. ALL this, plus, making it easy to access a variety of workouts that are right for each one of us. They take time to plan out where you need improvement to aim at your fitness & lifestyle goals. I Opex because no trendy gym provides this kind of care & support!!! " - Joddy, Opex Riverdale client >>>>>>>

There’s no such thing as a bad exercise!⁠
⁠
Just misaligned prescriptions.⁠
⁠
A back squat could be an awesome exercise for one person, and a terrible exercise for another.⁠
⁠
Why? Because everyone is unique in their capabilities, their function, and their goals, and the exercises in a workout program need to reflect this!⁠
⁠
Blanket statements about good and bad exercises always fall short when they’re not in the context of the person who’s performing them.⁠
⁠
That's why at OPEX Riverdale, every fitness prescription starts with an assessment. This helps our coaches determine which exercises are best for you, and which ones you might want to avoid.⁠

We exist within an industry that thrives on clickbait, the promise of the next 'thing,' the next magic pill or the solution to your problems that doesn't in truth actually fix the problem (if it is even a problem). The truth lies in simple behaviors:⁣
⁣
1. Build consistency. We are living in an all or nothing age. Exercise and diets are often seen as a short term thing to help you achieve a goal or target. To actually win at long term results within your health and fitness you need to find a way to move and eat consistently.⁣
⁣
2. Reduce stress. Pretty simple one this but if we want to function optimally we need to reduce stress. The demands of modern living pull us in so many different directions which inevitably create tremendous stress.⁣
⁣
3. Get sleep. Again we know we need to sleep but if you actually want to give yourself the best chance to recover from exercise, digest food efficiently and perform at your best you need to sleep (MORE than 7 hours a night!).⁣
⁣
4. Find balance. If you actually want life long meaningful results you need to find balance in your life. We so often look for compensatory behaviours to fix these imbalances (exercise to out train a bad diet, intense exercise to compensate for stress at work) but the truth is if you find balance you won't have to do this anymore!⁣
⁣
There is no simple one size fits all solution to these things at OPEX Riverdale we help you find balance, optimize your energy, establish rhythm and find out what your purpose or why is.⁣
⁣
We are only one of three OPEX Licence gyms in the NY come and find out what fitness can be.⁣

We all know that working out offers a host of physical benefits, but did you know that it can also nurture a healthy mind?

✅ Mood Boost: Research has proven exercise to be a powerful treatment for depression, anxiety and general emotional well-being. Working out releases endorphins, mood-boosting chemicals that produce feelings of euphoria and happiness.

✅ Self-Esteem: Consistent exercise can also offer a sense of control over your well-being, leading to better self-esteem and motivation. Setting and achieving goals, sticking with a routine and overcoming adversity in the gym can offer a sense of accomplishment and confidence in your abilities.

✅ Better Sleep: Daily movement can help regulate your circadian rhythm, help you fall asleep faster and sleep deeper. Sleep is essential for our mood regulation and emotional well-being – who feels happy after a bad night’s sleep?

✅ Stress Less: While exercise is technically a physical stressor, time in the gym can be a great way to unplug, zone in and be mindful. OPEX Riverdale will give you the space to focus on yourself, while surrounded by a supportive community, so you’ll always leave with a smile on your face.

✅ Breathe: OPEX Riverdale doesn’t begin and end with your workout. An important skill taught by OPEX Riverdale Coaches is diaphragmatic breathing. This is often used as a cooldown, before eating and before bed, to help you bring your body into a relaxed state and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, aka ""rest and digest."

Regular exercise has a host of benefits for the body, mind and spirit, regardless of your age or current fitness level. If you’re lacking motivation or feeling down, some squats and biking might be the ticket to a happier, healthier you!

Nutrition. The Rubik's Cube of the health and wellness world. With so much complexity and variation offered by social media influencers, how can you even know where to begin?

A great starting point is to ensure you're not engaging in these 3 common nutrition mistakes...

1️⃣ Eating at inconsistent times
2️⃣ Restricting during the week, binging on the weekend
3️⃣ Eating infront of screens

Falling short of a great start and feeling helpless to get on track with your nutrition? Click the link in bio to get started and one of our qualified coaches will work with you one-on-one to develop a consistent nutrition routine that works for you.

Don't let others define what fitness means to you!

Your fitness program should be based on what you want to get out of it, whether that's to get stronger, increase your energy to play with your kids, improve your health and longevity, or run a 10k.

Every OPEX Riverdale client has a different definition of fitness, which is why every OPEX Riverdale client also receives a unique fitness program.

Congrats .rod01 making the leap to start his journey of evolving from Trainer to Coach 🫡
・・・
The title “Coach” , is derived from the French word coche. Referring to the stagecoach (horse-drawn carriages) taking passengers from point A to point B.

Our modern use of the word has become a fitting metaphor.

As a health and fitness coach, I have made it my passion to ensure that I carry individuals from point A to Point B by use of individualized coaching.
(Fitness/Nutrition/Lifestyle Guidance).

I’m ecstatic to start the next chapter in my coaching career. The future learning, studying, and calls excites me. Looking forward to starting the OPEX Coaching Certificate Program (CCP) in July ☀️😁 Pre course readings are done!!

Thank you 🙏🏽
