Health & Fitness Assessments
How fit are you? Let us assess your muscle strength and endurance, body
composition, core, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness. We’ll compare
your results to the norms and help you identify your fitness opportunities.
Welcome Tours
Come say “Hello!” and take a look around our newly-expanded unique studio,
equipped with state-of-the-art cardio and strength training equipment,
massage area, and mind-body and multipurpose rooms. Enjoy the friendly,
receptive, non-intimidating atmosphere while you chat with one of our
highly-skilled, experienced trainers.
The Alpha Body Program
Jump start your metabolism! The Alpha Body Program is the ultimate 12-week
fat loss muscle building program. Through the combination of weight training,
nutrition, and cardiovascular exercise your body will become an efficient,
fat burning machine. In 12 weeks, the average client reduces their body
fat by 8%, loses 10% of their starting body weight, and adds 5 pounds
of muscle. More importantly, they feel and look better, learn how to eat
and exercise, and speed up their metabolism! Clients who have completed
the program will be available for Q&A after the presentation.
Fit to the Core
“After ten sessions you’ll notice a difference, after twenty sessions
others will notice...after thirty you’ll have a new body.”
-- Joseph Pilates
Open to all levels, this mat-based Pilates workout is an introduction
to the Pilates method. A mind-body workout, Pilates is designed to strengthen
and elongate the body through exercises targeting the abdominal muscles,
hips, butt, and thighs. Dramatically, Pilates can transform the way your
body looks, feels, and performs by teaching awareness of the body, proper
posture, and graceful movement. Pilates is ideal for improving flexibility
and can also help with stress management.
Mid-Life Fitness for Women
Are you changing from a “pear” to an “apple?” Is your metabolism slowing
down? This workshop will discuss the long term effects of estrogen deficiency.
Fitness training goals for the various stages of menopause will be provided
along with recommended exercises and formats.
The Lazy Diet
It's a diet for people on the run, the ones who don't have a lot of time
to shop and cook. Pam Oliver, a weight-loss specialist who created the
plan, calls it the “Lazy Diet.” The menus center on three meals and three
snacks a day, with dishes that take less than 15 minutes to prepare or
are easy to buy. A sample menu for the day offers a choice of 1 cup low-fat
yogurt or two hard-cooked eggs for breakfast, two beef or chicken tacos
or a tuna sandwich with fresh vegetables for lunch, 1-1/2 cups of macaroni
and cheese and a serving of green veggies for dinner, and three snacks—two
as fruit and one an ice cream sandwich. Ms. Oliver will be discussing
how successful participants have been on this plan that is still making
the news 17 months later, a must for people "on-the go."
Cardio Sculpting

workout that focuses on maximizing time while building muscle and reducing
fat. Using light resistance, we’ll work multiple muscles in 50 minutes

cleansing and removing toxins from the body will be discussed. The typical
and not so typical American diet will be discussed along with supplementation
recommendations that will provide you with optimum health.
A MindBody Approach to a Healthy Back

this workshop shows you how to use your entire body and mind for back
strength. Join us to learn about the integrative therapies that can give
you a healthy back and increased functionality. We’ll do strength, balance
and flexibility exercises, along with relaxation, pain management techniques,
and mindful fitness. Strengthen your back, relax your mind and discover
how your back health can affect your overall wellness.
Joint Pain—An Integrated Approach to Recovery
An old, nagging injury keeping you sidelined? Explore ways to protect
your body from further injury and return function to your body. Injuries
are most often caused by imbalances in the body. By stretching the muscles
that are over tight and strengthening the weak muscles, you can not only
stop the pain, but also become stronger than you’ve ever been. This hands-on
workshop/discussion will help start you on the road to recovery.
Fitness for the Time Starved
Trapped by the clock? Family and work getting in the way of looking and
feeling the way you used to? Learn how to take control and reclaim your
time, body, and health by learning to incorporate fitness into your lifestyle.
