<description><![CDATA[Tired of fad diets, being forced to eat food you do not want to, sick of doing the same old 'Running or bicycle' exercises?

With our assessments and programs - you can REDUCE or GAIN weight safely, constantly (whilst you manage the food you eat), reduce stress on your joints, PREVENT possible injuries and look and feel healthier.

This is done by designing an exercise and food management program for you - the individual! 

Our staff will conduct an assessment, monitor your heart rate, fitness levels, reaction to each exercise, set and rep, to make sure the program is achievable - without being boring or repetitive. They will monitor your progress, motivate you, not hassle you, show you how to do exercises correctly, explain which muscle (group) is affected, with the added comfort of only ever being a phone call away.

NUTRITION is a major factor in weight management and advice and a diary is produced so you can record and monitor your intake.

WARNING: We will not be held accountable for the cost of having to purchase new clothes!]]></description>

It helps prevent injury, breakdown, release stress, relax soft tissue, which in today's society - is affecting more and more people. This is especially crucial for chronic injuries, non sporting or the physically active sportsman and indeed any worker. 

More often - people recognise the signs and symptoms when it is too late.

We will help you to prevent and treat this through massage, stress releasing techniques and designing the appropriately balanced strength and flexibility exercise programmes. contact us today for a FREE ASSESSMENT and advice on how to keep you in BEST HEALTH.]]></description>
