A gym unlike any other in Sioux Falls has opened in the Chelapa Place development downtown.
SISU Fit is located on the first floor of Dakota Flats, 324 N. Reid Place.
The modern boutique fitness center was developed in consultation with the Los Angeles-based group, said Ann Haber, partner at SISU Fit.
“This space is designed for a variety of users, from corporate members to residents to members of the public who live nearby or live and work anywhere in town. We built the structure to accommodate those different types of people.”
SISU means “courage, resilience and will to continue” in Finnish, Haber explained. “I think it also fits in with the Scandinavian design with a lot of wood in there. There’s a warmth to it. The natural wood and pops of greenery speak to health and wellness.”
The fitness studio is a partnership with Annie and Chris Mello, owners of CPMFitness.
“It’s a state-of-the-art gym and honestly one of the nicest gyms I’ve ever been to,” Annie Mello said.
“I envisioned a modern health and fitness facility that could incorporate a ‘lifestyle’ brand, rather than just a gym. It combines luxury and sustainability. That’s why I really love it. I’m so excited to arrive that I can’t sleep at night! ”
The gym is open 24 hours a day and includes a pod-like system that connects to more than 14,000 digital workouts.
“There are so many options, from Pilates to yoga to HIIT to running to hiking,” Haber says. “And you’re not keeping up with the times. So you can come anytime that fits your schedule and get that motivation and guidance.”
Relax in the on-site sauna, or enjoy an outdoor feel as your garage door opens onto the Chelapa courtyard and some equipment is located outside.
“This allows you to try all kinds of fitness activities,” says Haber. “We have all-digital cardio equipment, we have some rowing equipment, and we’re adding more. We have a lot of options for strength training.”
SISU Fit also offers fitness assessments, nutritional consultations, and access to a number of excellent fitness trainers with “a wealth of experience,” she continued.
“We’ve worked with everyone from teenagers to people in their 80s, so you can sign up for a once-a-month training, or do it every day if you prefer. Pair with your digital device It’s easy and fun.”
SISU Fit is “truly unique in Sioux Falls. It’s the first gym of its kind here that combines fitness with a more holistic approach to health and longevity,” Melo said, adding that it will offer exercise, nutrition and recovery services. We focused on the combination of cutting-edge services. Technology such as wearables.
“SISU is unique in that it brings the kinds of innovations typically found in larger cities right here in Sioux Falls, offering a comprehensive approach to health and fitness that has not been available here before,” she said. spoke.

We provide trainers that can create customized programs for you.

The space will also host classes and will likely be expanded into the broader Chelapa Place development, Haber said.
“We believe there are multiple areas in this development that could potentially hold classes, and we will also organize challenges,” she said. “This summer’s Rucking Challenge was so much fun and well-received, so connect with SISU and find more ways to make fitness fun.”
Melo said the partnership between CPMFitness and SISU Fit, which closed this week at Western Mall, was a natural one.
“Over the years, CPMFitness has evolved toward a service model that aligns with what SISU already offers to the market,” she said.
“Rather than change direction, we saw an opportunity to combine our staff, community, and 11 years of functional fitness experience with the vision of SISU. Together, we We are bringing all of our coaching expertise together into SISU’s new model and working together to create something even better.”
Many employees working on the Chelapa Place development enjoy access to SISU Fit as an employee benefit, “allowing us to discuss corporate packages with other interested companies,” Haber said. said.
“We’re excited to introduce people to this space and encourage them to stop by and learn more.”
