The Urban Athlete™ Program Launches in New York City

NEW YORK, Feb. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On a daily basis, city dwellers are confronted with a number of hidden stresses, toxic assaults to the body and stimuli that are unique to an urban environment. The fast-paced atmosphere is intoxicating but we rarely take stock of the toll this has on the body and mind, mistaking the traditional gym experience as the solution for physical well-being and mental focus.

Urban athletes everywhere have been seeking an antidote to the daily grind of city living and the "one-size-fits-all" mantra of the big gym conglomerates. Pablo Toribio, New York Magazine's top Spinning instructor and creator of the Urban Athlete™ program, has launched a results-driven approach to fitness, featuring the powerful integration of cardio, (Spinning and Zumba), functional and plyometric training (Pablo Plus); and strength and mental discipline (yoga).

Mr. Toribio's acclaim as a Spinning instructor and fitness guru stems from a highly competitive history in professional motocross. His tailored approach to fitness supports urban athletics and personalities accustomed to the fundamental intensity of city life.

• Revolution Spinning (Intensity)
  A low impact but intense cardio workout that challenges mental strength.
• Zumba (Coordination)
  "It's not a workout, it's a party," Zumba promotes physical coordination, connecting the mind and body.
• Pablo Plus (Plus)
  The perfect mix of functional training and plyometric exercises with an emphasis on strength, stamina and fluidity for a solid foundation.
• Flow Yoga (Balance)
  The perfect complement to Spin and Zumba, yoga lengthens the muscles while pinpointing blockages and restoring energy through meditative focus.

These core classes make up the composition of Mr. Toribio's fitness platform, stressing a combination of physical and mental disciplines that embody intensity, coordination and balance - all of which are required to create a sustainable training program.

"It doesn't matter which big city you're living in," says Mr. Toribio. "They all present unique challenges that have to be balanced or your fitness goals will never be met. Our urban athletes are building strong bodies AND minds that will carry them through life."

Pablo Fitness, home of the Urban Athlete™ launches in February in New York City. Live online classes and Spinning sessions are also available for urban athletes nationwide.
