Meet Tara Maunder!

Posted on by Kimberly

Tara started her fitness journey teaching Piloxing. A combination of boxing, standing Pilates and dance that led to teaching Piloxing barre. When she moved to San Diego with her husband and two kids, she started a small community mom outdoor bootcamp in her neighborhood here in Solana Beach. In addition, she has trained in different boxing styles, that she incorporates in her workouts. Tara loves going to the beach with family, loves taking strolls with her dog taking the kids to school, and frequently visits the local French spots. She has a zest for life that is as enticing as her French accent! She brings the heat and does not disappoint with her workouts, her favorite thing about GXF is the community. Moving to a new place is always hard and having like minded welcoming warm people makes the world of a difference. We are so excited to have Tara be a part of out team at GFX!

GFX and Aktiv Solutions

Posted on by Kimberly

GFX was created with the design help from Aktiv Solutions. They wrote a piece on GFX recently and we wanted to share it with all of you. Head to their website for our full video and more!

This is directly quoted from their site:
Article:
Scott Baker’s vision was to create a culture and community around his own creative style, energy and brand of fitness, and thus Gemini Fit Personal Training was born in Solana Beach, CA. Originally an 800 square foot studio, the brand evolved to what is now GFX Fit – and a partnership with Aktiv Solutions resulted in an expansive and thoughtfully-designed gathering space with an ambiance of sophistication, style, and substance where fitness meets community, and friendships are formed.

“Working with Aktiv has been phenomenal! I was able to achieve my goals for the space I wanted to create. A space that would build community with its ambiance, deliver killer – but FUN – workouts and form meaningful connections for our members.”
– Scott Baker | Owner & Creator

The fast-paced “shot of espresso,” Tabata style workouts required specially designed personal stations to ensure ease of transition, efficiency and flow for every workout. When Scott saw Gym Rax he knew he had to have it to expertly and beautifully facilitate these workouts and offer smart storage.

Scott’s vision, for creating one of the coolest luxury boutique group fitness studios, has clearly come to fruition from the accolades he’s received thus far. Scott has been awarded San Diego Magazine’s ‘Best Personal Trainer’, named ‘It Trainer’ by Modern Luxury Magazine, ranked as ‘Best Class’ on ClassPass, and deemed ‘Best Gym’ in Ranch & Coast Magazine four consecutive times.

Article continued:
It was important for the training studio to have a great storage solution to hold a lot of equipment while visually looking stunning to keep everything nice and neat.

From performance flooring to custom, ambient lighting to wall art from local artists and everything in between, Aktiv worked with Scott to develop a stylish and innovative facility with its own unique VIBE.

The space includes a Hyperice Recovery Zone fully outfitted for pre workout warm-ups and post workout recovery while facilitating connection to the community. Overall GFX is a positive and supportive place where smiles are shared in a sweaty, fun state-of-the-art atmosphere.

GFX is not just a gym…

Posted on by Kimberly

GFX is not just a gym, a group fitness class, or a space to workout for 45 minutes. It is a space to come feel welcome, feel safe, feel strong, and feel the good vibes! We laugh, we sweat, we cry, and we sometimes think we are going to throw up… but it is always worth it, and you never ever leave regretting walking in and taking those 45 minutes for yourself. Friends chit chat the entire time and the 45 minute workout flies by. You meet new friends each class you take, you can set new intentions and goals each class you take, you can dance to great music each class you take! This quick Tabata style workout keeps your muscles guessing, no need for burpees here! We get a little more creative if we throw in a little cardio…we do not have “cardio days” we have consistent full body workout days! 😉

Our state-of-the-art equipment here at GFX allows our coaches to get creative with fun, challenging, booty lifting, ab tightening, leg shaking, arm toning workouts! Come in bring, your water bottle, your towel, and your intentions for your workout. Set a goal, achieve it here at GFX, day by day, minute by minute. The people here are salt of the earth, come check it out for yourself. The jams, aren’t so bad either!

Post-Grand Opening!

Posted on by Kimberly

GFX the new group fitness gym in Solana Beach hosted their GRAND OPENING this past Friday evening, and it did not disappoint! The workouts were packed with high energy and sweaty smiles! The DJ was exactly the GFX vibe, and the local vendors we had were a perfect fit. Scott and Kimberly are about supporting local, keeping it extremely authentic, and cultivating a vibe that is so infectious you cannot help but become addicted! GFX in Solana Beach is the place to be, that was made a fact Friday! The GFX members, friends, strangers (that are now friends) that came and worked out, ate Crust Pizza, snacked on Sumptuous Cookies, devoured out giant Edible Arrangement, and sipped Ashland’s made and set the entire VIBE for the evening. That is all everyone kept saying… “this place has such a good vibe, I love the vibe, GFX has a vibe…” We just kept hearing that word, and it brings music to Kimberly and Scott’s ears. They want an authentic vibe that is inviting, engaging, and uplifting all while kicking your butt in a great workout! If you missed the party, it is all good. We will host more local events soon, meanwhile come try a Tabata style workout and meet Scott and Kimberly!

THANK YOU to all that did come and join us for our Grand Opening! We could not do it without you.

Q&A with Kimberly

Posted on by Kimberly

Who doesn’t love a little Q&A?! We decided to ask our head trainer Kimberly a few questions:

Why GFX?- Honestly, because it’s Scott, because it is an extension of what has already made him great. I fell in love with Scott’s workouts and his chill, yet extremely motivating vibe. He’s as professional as they come and knows his shit! All those things are extremely important to me when looking for a new workout space. Adds the cherry on top that he is a huge Notorious B.I.G. Jay-Z fan!

How did it start?- I kept showing up…I kept pushing myself and became more and more addicted to not only the workouts and what they were doing to my body and mind but to the atmosphere that Scott had created at Gemini Fit. I hit it off with Scott right away and I knew I wanted to somehow have him mentor me in a way, I just wasn’t sure how or when or what. The universe is an amazing thing if you keep doing the hard work and showing up, because…GFX was in the works for Scott, and he needed a head trainer that he could trust and invest in this new adventure with…. a partner, a right hand, someone he could “mentor” like he had been mentored himself in the past. Guess who he thought of….? ME! To say I was flattered would be silly, I was incredibly honored and took it as a huge responsibility. Patience was tested and then tested again. With all the pandemic setbacks we kept pushing forward. We started an adolescent program for teens Monday through Friday and now we have GFX open full time for group classes and the community we are cultivating is infectious!

Why are you here?- The fitness community we are creating is magnetic and the vibe is so positive and supportive. We have so much fun while pushing ourselves physically and mentally. The space is gorgeous to look at, the equipment is state of the art brand new, the music is killer, the workouts are challenging and different each time. I can get a great full body workout in 45 minutes, the recovery station is top of the line, most importantly the members! Truly some of the best people I have met. I feel incredibly blessed to get to be a part of their lives for 45 minutes each day they come. Truly.

What keeps you going?- The workouts are effective and challenging. They are high intensity but can be done with low impact, modifications are always encouraged, we push ourselves at GFX physically and mentally. It’s 45 minutes of hard work, it’s worth it and it feels so good afterwards. You never ever leave GFX in a worse mood than when you walked in. Our members are some of the most genuine magnetic personalities out there. We push ourselves, laugh, sweat, and honestly bond. As corny as it sounds…oh and gangster rap there is always gangster rap. 😉

Why Tabata?- It is one of the most effective workouts I have tried. It is a 45-minute full body workout each day. I have never left this class thinking, I need to go push myself more or I need more out of my workout that day. It is different every day, keeps your body guessing and it is high intensity low impact which is my favorite for getting up there in my 30’s. 😊

GFX-Behind the scenes

Posted on by Kimberly

GFX recently had a mini photoshoot! With an amazing photographer that made the entire shoot feel comfortable and fun. She is incredibly talented and sweet, was such a fun day shooting with her! Scott and Kimberly had their social media team capturing the vibe and moments as well. This space oozes with good vibes. The space is unique, the workouts are effective, fun and challenging, and you will never ever hear the word BURPEE, like ever. GFX is definitely the up and coming new group fitness space in San Diego!
