The Citrus Hills Activity Center

Primo Vita Gym

Primo Vita, located in the Citrus Hills Activity Center, is a hidden gem that is loving referred to as "The Little Gym". Despite its smaller size, Primo Vita offers a wide range of cardio equipment, including bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, stair steppers, weight training machines, and free weights. What sets Primo Vita apart from other gyms is its use of Power Plate machines, which utilize NASA technology to simulate gravity and increase the intensity of your workout. These machines can also be used for cool-downs to relax muscles and increase blood flow.

The Power machines at Primo Vita are truly unique. They work by vibrating at a high frequency, which causes your muscles to contract and relax rapidly. This increases blood flow and oxygenation to the muscles, which can help to reduce soreness and speed up recovery time. The machines can also be used to increase the intensity of your workout, as the vibrations force your muscles to work harder than they would during a traditional workout.

In addition to the Power Plate machines, Primo Vita also offers a variety of other equipment to help you achieve your fitness goals. The weight training machines are designed to move with your body as you exercise, which helps to reduce strain on your back and joints. The cardio equipment is top-of-the-line, with options for every fitness level.

Overall, Primo Vita is a fantastic option for anyone looking to get in shape or maintain their fitness routine. The gym's smaller size and friendly atmosphere make it a great choice for those who are intimidated by larger, more impersonal gyms. And with the addition of the Power Plate machines, Primo Vita truly stands out as a unique and effective fitness destination.
