FTX Gym Launches in Makati

Hip Functional Training Gym in Makati Launches Managing Partner

FTX Gym, the premier functional training center in the country, recently introduced one of its managing partners via a launch party which also featured their signature workout called Cirqfit.

Joseph Velasco, American Council on Exercise-certified Personal trainer and Lifestyle and Weight Management consultant, is a Mr. Philippines titleholder for the Welterweight division. As a top caliber bodybuilding and powerlifting coach, he uses his acquired knowledge through continuing education workshops as well as from his 20 years of experience as a fitness professional to provide his athletes with the best training programs and strategies for winning.

Also launched alongside Velasco were the intense yet fun group exercise classes the gym offers including Rip60, TechnoRave, and Fly Yoga –all three are the very first in the country, plus Belly Dancing and Muay Thai by 2011 Fight for the Glory Battle defending champ Arjohn Balmes. There was also a short preview of the gym’s very own CirqFit signature workout, which actually consists of fat-blasting, heart-pumping programs that each patron can pick out of a menu of 15 posted on a board that is similar to a restaurant’s.

Velasco is one of three Managing Partners who run FTX with principal owner Restaurateur Raymund Magdaluyo. FTX is located at Unit 202 Three Salcedo Place, Tordesillas St., Salcedo Village, Makati City. Website is gymftx.com and contact number is 8223311
