Fitness and mindfulness gym

[Vynce]

So as I've figured out my life purpose about combining physical development with mental development via strength training and mindfulness, I wondered if some of you guys already know such a place. 

Here in Germany there are literally zero places where you can have both. Strength training with weights and racks, while simultaneously offering Yoga classes and space for meditation periods. 

So this is an open request specifically targeted to any of you, who live in the US. It's an open secret that most new concepts get developed and tested out in the USA, before they spread around the globe. 

Please let me know if you have encountered such a holistic approach to fitness and mindfulness.

i look forward to answers, it's going to be interesting.

 

For my POV, gym bros are extremely ego-based, so i have no idea how  to combine it. From what i've noticed, women are far more open to stuff like that.  However, i'm too interested in both, gym and spirituality, so i wonder, are you planning to open a gym like that ? Or are you going to be a coach?

Is it completely new idea, or have you seen it somewhere already?

Yes im currently working on building a place like that. Would be awesome to see such a place in action somewhere. 

In my worldview the logical step of a classical stage orange "gym bro" is to move on to a more holistic "mind body connection conscious" athlete. This happens naturally if "gym bros" get hurt and therefor feel their body the first time under pain. This kicks starts this mind body connection for most. 

And yes its true that most yoga classes are filled with mid 40 women and most gyms are filled with mid 20-30 guys. However, I see the possibility that both groups will recognize the potential of the other developmental activity if consciousness rises collectively.

Brian Mckenzie and his work at Shift Adapt comes to mind.

He is a world-class fitness coach that has transitioned into incorporating a lot more mindfulness / breathwork into his teachings.

There’s also a couple of gyms here in Portland, Oregon that are starting to blur the lines. Fitness gyms that also offer things like Tai Chi, yoga and meditation. Here is one such place:

I’ve also looked into starting a healing center like this myself. Feels like a very far away goal at this point but I feel it could definitely work.
