O ATHLETIK is a 35,000sf facility with a variety of fitness disciplines ranging from cardio, weight lifting, martial arts, ladder drills, multipurpose fields, hot vinyasa flow yoga, sand volleyball, crossfit and more. “Our programming is what sets us apart,” says co-founder/president James Cooper. “We consider ourselves innovative to orchestrate various disciplines with over 100 classes available such as running and cross-training classes to classes that focus on the upper body and lower body.” Involved in the fitness industry for over 20 years, Cooper noticed that fitness activities are secluded. “There’s always 44 L O C A L | january 15 something missing. All the workouts are sports- or fitness-based. There was never a gym that has everything.” O Athletik focuses on building a tightknit community to educate people on fitness and how to apply different disciplines such as martial arts and weights into their daily workout. Oh, and did we mention there’s a juice bar and cloud spa too? O Athletik opens January 31. For details, visit www.OAthletik.com | 713.320.2450 767 North Shepherd, Suite 100, Houston, TX 77007
