Description

AKT, a new dance-cardio fitness concept featuring carefully curated playlists, high-energy music, disco ball bumping and a supportive community, has recently reopened in Sandy Springs on June 14. The new AKT studio at 1110 Hammond Drive, Suite 5 will allow Sandy Springs residents to experience a full body workout that combines cardio dance intervals with strength and toning. AKT has become increasingly popular because of its effective and fun dance-cardio technique touted by celebrities like Kelly Ripa, Shakira and Alicia Keys. Fueled by positivity, a combination of personal training and dance-cardio technique, each of the four class types – DANCE, BANDS, TONE and CIRCUIT – are kept fresh and entertaining since the choreography changes every three weeks. Each 60-minute, full-body workout class is designed to burn calories and strengthen and tone in an atmosphere that’s fun, exhilarating and results-driven. AKT Perimeter is now owned and operated by Serena and Jarred Meteau. The couple has a long history as fitness enthusiasts and are thrilled to share their passion with Atlanta, where they met. As parents, the couple is thrilled about the early introduction of movement to their two young daughters, and feel that it is important to instill in them body positivity and the idea that fitness can be fun! “We are hoping AKT Perimeter will bring the community together and energize people after being isolated for so long due to the pandemic,” said co-owner Serena. “We can’t wait for members to reconnect with one another and create a positive impact on their lives.” The grand opening is set for August 18-21, and they are currently hosting Member VIP classes that encourage members to bring a friend to any class, plus other benefits. The four signature class types at AKT are as follows: DANCE alternates between choreographed dance sections and short strength intervals.BANDS is a class that alternates between functional cardio and longer strength intervals as members perform sports-based exercises with the stability of a box.TONE pairs full-body strength with isometric movements to burn out large and intrinsic muscles on every plane of motion.CIRCUIT combines plyometric full body power exercises with medium weight compound strength movements in 30 second and 15 second intervals. To introduce residents to the new studio, AKT offers weekly complimentary preview classes for beginners to try AKT BANDS & DANCE workouts in a special hybrid class. AKT Perimeter will be open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. The studio can be contacted at +1 (470) 231-4827, [email protected], @theaktperimeter, or https://www.facebook.com/TheAKTPerimeter.
