Since July this year, the parish of Alhos Vedros has welcomed Dupla Fit, a personalized training studio distinguished by its proximity and focus on community well-being. Leila Lopes and Miguel Pereira, the founders, describe the space as a place where clients "come with pleasure to train, they arrive here and feel good, they like to come, and when they don't come, they miss us," which they consider their "great mission".
Driven by a shared passion for sports and the identification of a market gap, the idea for Dupla Fit began to take shape several years ago. Leila and Miguel combined their experience in gyms to create a concept focused on the individual. "We are not a gym, we are a personalized training studio, both for weight training and for Pilates," explained Leila.
The studio is divided into two rooms: one dedicated to Weight Training and another to Pilates. Leila leads clinical Pilates classes in groups, focusing on mothers in pre and post-natal stages, using specific equipment like the reformer and combo chair to improve posture, mobility, strength, and movement control. Miguel specializes in weight training and cardio, emphasizing injury prevention, fat loss, and muscle gain.
The teamwork between Leila and Miguel allows for the development of personalized training plans, adapted to each person's needs and goals. Workouts are scheduled by appointment, Monday to Friday, between 9:00 AM and 8:00 PM, with "great flexibility" in scheduling. The space also offers classes for small groups, ensuring focused and high-quality supervision.
Located near the Alhos Vedros train station, Dupla Fit attracts people of all ages, from young individuals to seniors, seeking to improve their mobility and physical independence. The calm and welcoming atmosphere has transformed the studio into a community hub, attracting entire families. "We have a family from Alhos Vedros where three train here (in Pilates) and another is on the other side, training in weightlifting," it is reported.
For the future, the goal is to continue nurturing the brand and growing this community dedicated to well-being and physical exercise. Dupla Fit invites potential clients to schedule an in-person visit to explore the facilities and perhaps become part of this "family".
