Created to help people feel better and stay active for life, the Health Enhancement Series at Paradise Gym, 1236 S. Dixie Hwy. in Coral Gables, teaches individuals how to be smart about exercise and diet based on the person’s specific needs.
This new program is geared toward people, who currently are not active or have a medical condition or both, that would benefit tremendously from regular exercise, a well-balanced nutritional diet, and daily motivation and support from their own personal fitness coach.
The Health Enhancement Series provides personalized tools and resources to guide and support individuals on the road to better health. Led by Certified Personal Fitness Coaches, personalized sessions focus on increasing activity levels in an effective and safe way, as well as behavior modification.
“Our coaches offer hand-held support and daily inspiration to ensure that participants are successful both inside and outside of our club,” said Kathie Chavarria, general manager for Paradise Gym.
There are four Health Enhancement Series from which to choose:
Weight Loss — Designed to reduce excess weight by monitoring exercise and caloric levels, personalized nutritional coaching, and constant support to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. Senior Start — Created to get seniors of any age in a safe exercise program to improve balance and coordination, and enhance the skills needed to perform everyday tasks through functional movement.
Heart Fit/Stress Management — Formed to prevent cardiovascular disease through a regular exercise program specially designed to maintain a healthy weight, lower blood pressure and effectively manage stress.
Fit Kids — Intended to fight childhood obesity, this program features supervised fitness classes, which emphasize the fun aspect of exercising, as well as nutritional education for children and their parents. After choosing the health enhancement series that is right for you, your program will begin with a comprehensive fitness and health assessment to evaluate your base line fitness level. Paradise Gym’s personal fitness coaches use MicroFit, a technologically advanced computer controlled program, which calculates more than just your body weight and body composition.
This state-of-the-art system measures important health factors needed to fully assess your fitness level: blood pressure, flexibility, back and bicep strength, resting heart rate, and cardiovascular endurance (monitors your heart rate during exercise). The MircoFit system provides immediate professional reports used to create your individualized program and track fitness progress.
In addition to your own personal fitness coach and the comprehensive fitness and health assessment, the Health Enhancement Series also includes: full club membership, bi-monthly nutrition seminars, meditation seminars, menu planning, monthly supermarket trips, monthly weight loss support meetings, and senior socials. The new program is available on an individual or group basis.
