The idea, according to marketing and promotion manager Germaine Wright, is to keep things competitive and to promote \u201ccompatibility and camaraderie\u201d and encourage people to \u201creinvent together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The facility, at 307 Broadway, at the corner of Congress Street, is the fifth in the area for Vent Fitness, but the first to feature a studio concept. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Vent has renovated an existing building to provide 4,600 square feet of space. A mid-June \u201csoft opening\u201d is planned with something more celebratory later in the summer. They expect to employ between five and 10 people, including fitness instructors and office staff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Members will participate in group classes featuring interval training at various levels of difficulty. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Interval training alternates periods of high-intensity exercise with less strenuous intervals. Every student receives a heart-rate monitor and the data is posted on a screen for all to see. Sharing is compulsory, Wright said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The gym will also have locker rooms and showers, as well as a lounge area, a live DJ to provide music, a shake bar and a retail sales area, selling athletic clothing and gear and other items that might come in handy during a workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><!--more-->Wright promises \u201can amazing experience with high energy, live DJ music, a unique and beautiful facility, and an awesome shake bar.\u201d His target audience is women 35 to 55 years of age, he said. Men are welcome, but he is aiming his message at the women because \u201cthey are the decision makers and buyers in this market.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Costs will vary with single classes at $25, 10-class packages for $198, and memberships that include two classes a week at $99 a month. People joining the Saratoga Springs facility will also have access to Vent\u2019s four other area gyms, in Niskayuna, Guilderland, Latham and Clifton Park. Each has its own combination of facilities. Clifton Park, for example, offers an oxygen bar, tanning equipment and massage. Guilderland has a rock-climbing wall, swimming pool and basketball courts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Wright comes to his position at Vent Fitness with a background as a chef, a caterer and a dancer, with education in marketing and communication. In addition to his duties promoting Vent Fitness, he owns 8 Count Kitchen, a catering and personal chef service and was an award-winner on the Food Network series \u201cAll-Star Academy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jill Nagy At the new Vent Fitness facility in Saratoga Springs members have to share the data collected by their heart-rate monitors.
