Why are you here?

A lot of people assume that one joins a health club to lose weight, and arguably so, for the majority, that’s correct, but truth be told, there are many other reasons for people to join a club like ours. And even if they have other reasons for joining, and there are many, weight loss usually results simply because they are more active and using up more calories than they were prior to taking up regular exercise. Regardless, here are some of the different reasons that our actual clients have joined our club and requested our assistance.

“My doctor wants me to go on high blood pressure medication and I’d like to try to avoid having to do that.” ……done.

“My doctor says I’ll be on my high blood pressure medication for the rest of my life. With your help, I’d like to prove him wrong.” ………….done.

“I’d like to try to reduce and control my high cholesterol.” …….done.

“I’d like to increase my bone density. My doctor says it’s too low.” ……..done.

“I’d like to better control my blood sugar levels and possibly reduce or eliminate my diabetes medication.” ………….done.

“I’m having a difficult time getting out of my car. I need to strengthen my legs.” …………done.

“I’d like to eliminate my back pain so I can stop taking this pain medication.” ………..done.

“I just want to get out of my house and shake this depression.” ……………done.

“I need to strengthen my legs for figure skating.” ……….done.

“I need to better my swim time. I’m a tri athlete.” ……….done.

“I want to compete in a body building contest.” …………done (several times).

“I want to be able to go up the two steps at the entrance to the Italian Hall without help so I can go dancing again.” ………..done.

“I want to be able to walk without the help of my walker.” …………….done.

“I want to be able to walk without the help of my cane.” ………………done.

“I want to be able to get up out of this wheelchair that I’ve been in for 35 years and walk on my own.”………….DONE!

So there you have it. This is what we do every day and have been for over 33 years. As you can see, it’s not all about weight loss.
