Element 5 Fitness opens in Kirkland

Element 5 Fitness founders and creators of Strong & Sexy Boot Camps Rommel Acda, CSCS, and Belton Lubas, NASM-CPT recently announced the grand opening of their first fitness training center in Kirkland. The Element 5 Fitness Training Center offers group fitness and fat loss programs, one-on-one personal training, Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT), sports performance enhancement, and is also the first licensed Underground Strength Coach Gym in the Pacific Northwest.

Rommel and Belton believe that their unique fitness programs are the answer for fitness enthusiasts feeling the effects of the economic crisis currently facing Americans.

They state: “People are really struggling right now with these hard financial times. Though we feel fitness is a necessity item, most people still do not, and the bottom line is that it tends to be the first thing that gets cut when people are short on funds. Our fitness programs provide the solution to maintain staying in shape.”

The Strong & Sexy Boot Camps are thriving in spite of a struggling economy due to its mission of offering large group workouts lasting 60 minutes in length for as little as $20 per workout. This offers a significantly more affordable alternative for busy people than traditional one-on-one personal training rates that start at $65 per one-hour session.

Element 5 Fitness training center is also home to the United Source Martial Arts Academy, which specializes in authentic Muay Thai kickboxing, Western Boxing, Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Weaponry, Clinch/Ground Boxing, and Fitness Kickboxing. The academy offers a multi-faceted experience for the beginning to advanced practitioner. Their focus is not limited to the insufficiency of solely creating the “toughest fighter” but rather in the equally important value of introducing individuals and families to the life long benefits of martial edification and personal development. Element 5 and United Source is located at 11626 Slater Ave. N.E., Suites 4 and 5, behind NAPA Auto Parts. For information, call 425-823-4400.
