Visiting from out of town and want to keep up with your workout regimen? Or do you live in the area and feel like shaking up your fitness routine a bit? Newport Beach is the perfect place to be, with plenty of unique workouts available for everyone no matter what your skills or tastes.

Although I’m a local resident and already have a regular exercise schedule, I decided to step out of my comfort zone recently and try out a newcomer to the scene just to offer up a sample of what’s out there. Instead of my usual Tuesday-morning Jazzercise class, I opted to experience a 9:30 a.m. class at The Bari Studio (2125 San Joaquin Hills Road, 949-287-6067, www.theBaristudio.com/workout). Everyone starts with a Barione group hybrid class that combines all of the studio’s offerings —including high-intensity cardio sequences, bouncing on a trampoline and muscle sculpting — for a full body workout. Once you master all the moves, you’re welcome to mix and match the components to create a class to your specific liking — from Barimicro (a low-impact conditioning class using equipment such as resistance bands) to Baridrop (55 minutes of heart-racing cardio routines) — with classes typically ranging from $35 to $125.

Into indoor cycling? There is no shortage of spots in Newport Beach to get your spin on. One such place is Corona del Mar’s cutting-edge Studio Cycle (3711 E. Coast Highway, 949-500-1233, www.studiocyclecdm.com), where everyone from beginners to experts can enjoy fun and challenging full-body workouts incorporating hand weights … all set to black lights and upbeat music. New students can try their first three “inspirational spin” classes for just $15.

Also in Corona del Mar is Defy Gravity (3100 East Pacific Coast Highway, 949-719-2900, www.defygravitystudio.com), offering a whole-body class combining high-intensity cardio and Pilates for flexibility and core strength. The studio is split into two rooms: a Pilates area equipped with state-of-the art Allegro 2 reformers and EXO Chairs and a cycling space furnished with Schwinn AC Performance bikes with resistance bands suspended over each bike for upper body work. Be sure to take advantage of the introductory class for just $17. Set to open at the end of the year next to Fashion Island, Soulcycle (www.soul-cycle.com) will offer a full-body motivational workout using hand weights and core-engaging choreography to help you release stress, burn fat and tone muscle … not to mention inspirational instructors, candlelight, epic spaces and high-energy music. Your first-time ride is $20.

But that’s not all! Orangetheory Fitness (1040 Irvine Avenue, 949-630-0555, www.orangetheoryfitness.com) opened its first Cali studio in early 2013 at Newport’s Westcliff Plaza. Proclaimed one of the country’s best one-hour workouts, Orangetheory’s cardio and strength-training class uses advanced treadmills, rowing machines and TRX suspension straps to help participants burn up to 1,000 calories per session. Everyone’s required to wear a monitor showing calories burned and heart zone on screens studiowide. And Body Design (210 Newport Center Drive, 949-719-2600, www.bodydesignonline.com/Pilates.htm) has been around for more than 20 years, but the athletic and wellness center for women has continued to grow and expand its amenities. One of the newest offerings is a specialized Gyrotonic exercise system, which is ideal for low-impact stretching and strengthening of the body and uses elements of yoga, dance, gymnastics, swimming and tai-chi. A private session will run you $80 and semi-private $60, with a session for groups of three costing $50.
