Welcome to our Member Spotlight series, where we proudly showcase the businesses and individuals making a difference in our CityCentral community and beyond. Today we have the pleasure of highlighting Optimal Edge,  a wellness solution designed specifically for people who value their time as much as their health. Optimal Edge operates out of CityCentral Addison, and boasts fast results, efficiency, and innovation with their fitness solutions. Join us as we learn more about what inspires their team and how they make an impact on their clients’ lives!

Tell us a little about Optimal Edge.

We specialize in science-backed fitness, in a private setting, giving you the benefits of 2.5 hours of cardio in just 21 minutes without sweating, soreness or feeling totally drained.

You can get your workout in without any sort of cortisol spike…because who needs more stress in their life?!

It is possible to melt away stubborn fat without changing anything else. With 1-2 sessions per week, the average person loses 3.6 lbs of fat.

You can make your doctor proud with a drop in your A1C and enjoy better metabolic health.

Injecting yourself with hormones isn’t the only answer to hormonal imbalance… In just 8 sessions over 2 weeks, users saw an average increase of 132% in free testosterone.

What led you to start Optimal Edge?

The concept of Optimal Edge Fitness came about because we saw how difficult it can be for busy professionals to commit to consistent movement. Traditional fitness routines often demand 10+ hours a week once you factor in travel, showering, and prep time—and let’s face it, most of us don’t have that kind of time to spare.

On top of that, we’ve noticed a growing issue with hormone imbalances, especially as we age. Many people are told by doctors that it’s “just part of getting older,” but the truth is that we don’t age because our hormones decline—our hormones decline because of how we age. Optimal Edge Fitness offers solutions to help combat these challenges efficiently and effectively.

Lastly, we understand that walking into a gym can be intimidating for some, or maybe you want your workout time to also be your thinking time—a space where you can brainstorm your next big idea in privacy. Optimal Edge provides a judgment-free, personalized environment where clients can focus on their health and their goals without distractions.

 

What sets your business apart from your competitors?

This isn’t just a gym or a fitness studio—Optimal Edge is a wellness solution designed specifically for people who value their time as much as their health. Everything we do is grounded in efficiency, results and innovation. We offer access to advanced technology that provides results without sweating or soreness in a completely private setting, 24/7.

What is something you wish you’d known when you were just starting your business?

Perfection is an illusion, but progress is tangible—and progress is what ultimately leads to success.

How do you navigate your work-life balance?

For me, it’s about practicing what we preach. We make time for movement, and unplugging—even when things get busy. It’s a work in progress, but we’ve learned that carving out time for yourself isn’t selfish; it’s essential. When we’re recharged, we can show up better for those around us.

What is the most rewarding part of your job?

It’s seeing a concept become a reality, and that space being a place for transforming the health of those who use the equipment when they were told pharmaceuticals and surgery are the only options. Our sessions help turn your body into its own pharmacy and reverse signs of aging

How has being a part of the City Central community affected you and your business?

It’s always energizing to be surrounded by people working hard to reach their goals. This setting is the perfect place to assist busy people with meeting their health and wellness goals, without sacrificing time away from loved ones and fun.

If you had a friend in town, and you could take them to one of your favorite restaurants or spots in your community, where would you take them?

We’d take them to Activate Games! It was such a fun experience—active, immersive, and social all rolled into one. Not only did we have a blast tackling the challenges, but we also nearly hit our step goal for the day in just 90 minutes. (Our Oura Rings were definitely happy about that!) It’s the perfect way to have fun for all ages while staying active—highly recommend it!
