Burn Without the Burnout

Get 3 unique workouts all in one special session at SPENGA.

Imagine three completely different workouts all in the same session.

Welcome to SPENGA, the first studio of its kind to put equal focus on cardio, strength, and recovery, all in one 60-minute workout.

Opened in Dallas in 2021, the groundbreaking studio has prided itself on delivering a workout designed to maximize results without breaking down bodies.

It’s an innovative system designed to work smarter, not harder.

Owned and operated by Dallas entrepreneur Jinja Martin, the studio’s focus is total fitness.

Members say they love SPENGA’s 20-20-20 format of yoga, calorie-shedding spin sessions, and personalized strength training to restore the body and allow for quicker recovery between workouts.

“Our format combines the three pillars of fitness in 1-hour group training workouts led by trained instructors,” Martin explains. “You won't find a workout like this at your local gym.”

Once clients complete one segment, they are on to the next in a system that allows them to push harder and avoid the burnout of having to return to each section for multiple intervals.

SPENGA programs are sophisticated and backed by the latest science. They are also ever-changing with exercise selections that keep the body guessing and ensure the workout is completely “plateau proof,” Martin says.

SPENGA workouts also change daily and inspire individuals to work at their pace. “We like to say it’s ‘You versus You,’” Martin says. “We’re in the business of changing lives.”

The staff and instructors work closely with members to understand their goals, dreams, and opportunities. And the multi-sensory experience offers space dedicated to each workout element, invigorating aromatherapy, and workouts fueled by energizing DJ-inspired playlists.

Whether clients are just starting a fitness journey or established exercise rock stars, SPENGA workouts are legendary.

The facility is 5,000-square-feet, contemporary in tone, and with a definitive emphasis on amenities. “We’re stocked with plenty of eco-friendly personal care products,” Martin says. “We also offer validated garage parking behind the studio and are walking distance to some of the best restaurants and shopping options in the area.”

With more than 60 SPENGAs open and another 300 territories sold and opening soon around the country, SPENGA has become one of America’s fasting growing fitness franchises.

The Uptown location at 3232 McKinney Avenue in Dallas is easy to access, and convenient for Park Cities clients, where Martin and her husband have resided for over 25 years.

“I chose to bring SPENGA to the Park Cities because of the synergy between what I live every day in this community and what I know my neighbors deserve,” she says.

As for the studio’s future, Martin is focused, determined, and enthusiastic. “With industry-leading partnerships, our top instructors, and science-based workouts, SPENGA is the leader in boutique fitness and changing lives in our local communities.

“You won't find a workout like this at your local gym.”
