Meet Paige, our Longevity Coach.

Paige brings a Doctorate of Physical Therapy and an NSCA personal training certification to every session. Her whole background is in how people move: cleaning up mechanics, working around old injuries, and building strength that holds up in everyday life. She has spent years coaching small-group strength and mobility classes, so she knows how to keep a session about each person in the room.

In her words: "I'm passionate about helping people become the strongest, healthiest version of themselves, at every stage of life. Fitness is about more than physical strength. It's about building confidence, resilience, and creating a life you can fully enjoy."

At Sisu, Paige leads our semi-private longevity training: no more than four people, the same coach every session, and a program built from your own assessment. She also coaches our AlterG anti-gravity treadmill sessions (last slide), where you keep moving while your joints get a break.

Last week we named Powerpenia, the loss of muscle power. Here is a simple way to see how well your body still does the thing power is for: getting up off the floor.

It is called the sitting-rising test and it takes about ten seconds.

Stand up. Lower yourself to sitting on the floor. Stand back up. You start with ten points, and you lose one every time you use a hand, a knee, a forearm or the side of your leg to help. Half a point if you wobble.

No equipment. No gym. You can do it in your living room right now.

Here is why it is worth doing. A study that followed 4,282 adults aged 46 to 75 for a median of twelve years found a death rate of 3.7 percent among those with a perfect score, and 42.1 percent among those who scored lowest. An earlier study from the same research group found that each single point on the test was associated with roughly 21 percent better survival.

The test is not measuring how strong you are. It is measuring power, balance and mobility working together, which is the exact combination that decides whether getting off the floor stays easy.

And every part of it is trainable. That is exactly what our semi-private longevity training is built for: no more than four people, the same coach, twice a week, for sixteen weeks.

Want your number measured properly? Leg power, and the sitting-rising test when it is right for you, are part of the Sisu Assessment, along with VO2 max, grip strength, walking speed, balance and body composition.

Come and find out where you actually stand. The tour is free.

Three first plunges today.

Rich and Chris took the cold plunge at 46°F. Brynn went straight for the ice barrel: slush, 32.1°F. All three stayed in, breathed through it, and came out the other side.

Every first plunge at Sisu gets a certificate, signed and dated, with the water temperature you went in at.

Your first one is waiting. Call (719) 960-0345 to book a contrast session: real Finnish sauna, then the cold plunge.

Cold plunge isn’t just about proving you can handle the cold...

It’s about what comes after.

Less soreness. Better recovery. Increased circulation. And that refreshed, ready-to-go feeling.

Sometimes getting back to a stronger you starts with getting a little uncomfortable.

Book your session today.

The new night out starts in the daytime.

More people in their 20s and 30s are skipping the bar for a daytime hangout that leaves them feeling better the next morning, not worse. Some call it a darty. We just call it a good day at Sisu.

Real Finnish sauna. Cold plunge. The salt room. Good people, good conversation, and no hangover.

Our younger crowd figured this out fast. Now bring yours.

Grab your friends and call us. We'll line up your group's sessions at the same time so you can go through the sauna, plunge and salt room together.

Call (719) 960-0345 to book your group.
