Fitness Centers offer companionship and support
Fitness Centers exist all over the world and offer so many
features. The focus here will be three of the better known centers,
Curves, Healthy Inspirations, and Bally’s. Each of these fitness
centers offer education and support.
Curves are fitness centers for women that provide a 30-minute
circuit exercise program. There is a combination of exercise
machines including elliptical machines, aerobic boards, and steps.
The workout is varied by changing the machines around, and altering
the directions in the program tapes. The work out is generally
upbeat and is very fast moving. Curves have nutritional support and
weight loss guidance. The only drawback is that some Curves centers
are only open at certain times during the day making it difficult
for some people to take advantage of their program.
Healthy Inspirations, fitness centers for women offer its members
the circuit exercise routine similar to that of Curves. You are
encouraged to use all the machines however if there are some that
cause you difficulty your workout can be designed around that. Each
month the machines are moved around and the program tapes are
switched to provide members with the best workout and to prevent
boredom. Once you do the complete circuit you can, if space allows,
go and use the machines that you prefer. Some centers say once
around the circuit and you are done. Healthy Inspirations also
encourages the weekly use of a Shiatsu massage chair to reduce
stress. Food plans are fit to the individual taking into account
medical needs. It is a progressive program with support throughout.
It is a very positive program. The program does give sore muscles;
it does provide aerobic and anaerobic exercises with a full body
workout. Healthy Inspirations also has supplements that are
recommended but not required.
Bally’s fitness center has four food plans 1200, 1500, 2000, and
2500 calorie plans for weight loss. If your goal is muscle
development there are two plans, 2000 calorie and 2500 calorie
plans. Their programs include introductory to advanced Step
programs, high and low impact aerobics, aqua fitness, funk, hip hop
and salsa instruction. There is support and instruction at Bally’s.
