Our flagship fitness program has been THE FITNESS MAKEOVER for women. Over the past few years we learned a great deal about training women, and how to get the most progress in the shortest amount of time. Our approach to fitness begins with a battery of assessments in our lab that clearly sets the stage for all of the critical components of fitness and weight management.

What we won't ever do, is sacrifice health to achieve weight reduction. It is our firm belief that form follows function, not only in sports performance, but also in fitness. When your body is operating optimally the net result is a firmer, stronger, and leaner body, this is our predominant focus..

Any well designed program must have a beginning and an end.  We begin with the most comprehensive assessments available. We record your weight, girth measurements and body composition followed by a functional movement screen and strength tests. This gives us a very concise picture of your functionality and body mass proportions. We then schedule a resting metabolic assessment to determine your daily caloric needs. This provides us with vital information in respect to meal planning.

The last stop in our lab is on the treadmill to perform a cardio pulmonary diagnosis of your fitness (commonly referred to as a VO2 max test). This test is considered the "gold standard" of fitness evaluation. Within a matter of 15 minutes we can show you a report that clearly explains how you stack up relative to your age and also provides us with precise programming information that we translate into your cardio vascular training.

The end result is every minute you spend training is optimized.

Once we have identified all of your physical strengths and limitations we can safely and effectively embark upon your training. One thing is certain, if you apply yourself wholeheartedly in any of our programs, you will change for the better. You WILL drop body fat and you WILL improve your strength and functionality regardless of your current age of condition.

We believe that the concept of fitness begins with a goal, the goal sets the stage for planning and the plan requires careful execution. We never set about lifting weights just for the sake of lifting weights. We train movement not muscle, movement trains muscle. When muscles are integrated through movement form takes place. Isolating muscle causes a disconnect in the bodies synergistic harmony. This is generally the underlying cause of most skeletal-muscular injures.

Regardless of the initial desire when embarking on a fitness project the end result will always manifest into a satisfactory outcome if the simple concept of function first is applied. Muscle tone, fat loss, weight reduction or gain, sports performance all are achieved with function as the directive.



 

 
Eating to lose weight does not have to be as difficult as most diets seem to be.  For many, diet is a four letter word.  If cutting calories becomes a daily struggle, dealing with hunger pain, loss of energy, and all the other uncomfortable sensations has been a part of your history, we have good news for you!

Our system of meal planning is not only an effective it is sustainable for life!  Eating foods you enjoy, feeling satisfied all day with limitless energy.  There is no reason to want for more and no reason to revert back to the habits that have caused you to consider dieting in the first place.

Why does our system work so well? Our Smart Meal plans begin with a clinical analysis of your resting metabolic requirements, the “cornerstone of sound nutritional planning”.  The rest is a matter of portioning the appropriate food values to ensure adequate amounts of protein, fats and carbohydrates. All from foods you request and enjoy.

Typically alternative diets operate on one simple premise; eat less, lose weight.  In theory, this would seem logical, however, the critical element that is missing is that if you don’t have a precise understanding of your personal metabolic requirements you may create too severe a debt, which will cause you to disrupt your metabolic set point.  This ultimately results in what is known as the “Yo-Yo diet syndrome”.  Expect to gain all of the weight you lost and have that much more trouble losing it again.
