| Aquatic Personal Training |
| Taking personal training to a new level, the unique properties of water allow for creative and aggressive fitness programming. The viscosity of water allows you to push, pull, run, jump, jack, and jog much harder. The buoyant property of water unloads joints and allows for vigorous physical activity with minimal or zero joint impact. Chest level water allows individuals to bear only about 25-35% of their body weight. Deep-water training is vigorous exercise with zero impact 100% of the time. A great workout for any age; pools provide a great fitness playground for kids. |
|
| Pre/Post Natal Training |
| Pre-natal exercise is designed to promote good posture and spinal alignment, easing the strain and tensions involved with a changing body during pregnancy. Participants will learn to improve awareness of their bodies and prepare for the labor and delivery of their child. Additional benefits of exercise during pregnancy include reducing weight gain during pregnancy and after giving birth, improved sleep patterns and mood, a more comfortable labor, and alleviated back pain. Maintenance, not improvement of fitness levels, is the focus of exercise during this tender stage. Intensity of exercise, environment, and type of exercise are carefully considered in relation to the safety of the child's development. |
|
| Senior Fitness Training |

The exercises performed are designed to create strong, lean, and flexible muscles. By focusing on the core, Pilates strengthens and tightens the "power center" from which all movement originates. Having a stronger core helps with balance, posture, and other everyday events. Pilates offers benefits not found in traditional strength and stretching programs. |
|
| Kids’ Fitness Fun |

| Nutrition Consultation |
Nutrition is often the missing link to a healthy lifestyle. There are so many misconceptions and conflicting messages in the media and within society. Allow our dietitians to enlighten you with the path to a healthy, nutrition program, answering questions and clearing misconceptions. By being welcomed in your home and observing your lifestyle habits, the dietitians are able to assist you with behavior modifications and outline a healthy meal plan just for you. A nutrient analysis may be used to show you a specific breakdown of the caloric, vitamin, and mineral intake in your diet and provide suggestions for your optimal well being. Family plans are also available. Follow-up consultations are highly recommended for optimal results, especially in weight loss. An initial session simply scratches the surface, while follow-up sessions allow dietitians to hold you accountable for your nutrition goals and keep you moving toward a successful outcome. This session is recommended before all other nutrition appointments. |

| Swedish Massage Therapy |
| Massage Therapy is a system of stroking, pressing and kneading different areas of the body to relieve pain, relax, stimulate, and tone the muscle. Massage works on the soft tissues -- the muscles, tendons, and ligaments -- to improve muscle tone, reaching to deep layers of the muscle and even organs. Massage stimulates blood circulation and aids the lymphatic system, which runs parallel to the circulatory system, improving the elimination of toxins within the body. Swedish massage is possibly the most well known type of massage therapy. It is generally used to stimulate the relaxation response, release muscle tension, and increase blood and lymph circulation. |
