Though it has been said that nutrition is important, Black stresses
that this sage-like wisdom is part of keeping fit and healthy. “You
don’t want to deprive yourself of calories. If you only eat one meal a
day you don’t get enough food and your body wants to store fat. You
also need nutrients,so you don’t rely on unhealthy snacks.”
Purlife Fitness also has the state-of-the-art Fit 3D Body Scan that
is nothing short of a miracle. It reads your bodies postural alignment,
shows imbalances in muscle symmetry and strength, flexibility
and joints. The Fit3D Body Scan allows you to visualize the
results of your workouts and see if changes are necessary.
“From losing weight to building muscle the 3D scans can tell
you how your body is changing with your fitness routine and will
help you see progress right before your eyes! The scan can be
repeated to compare your measurements and gauge where your
progress is being made.”
The goal of these assessment tools is to make sure you’re doing
the correct workout for your specific body. One of the most important
components of this personalized fitness journey at Purlife is
known as Functional Movement Screening – or FMS.
The FMS functional movement screen is done to identify weaknesses
and imbalances in your body. Then a plan is put into place
with cardio and strength training, rest and recovery and health and
nutrition counseling. FMS is a very definitive way of understanding
your bodies strengths and weaknesses and allows your trainer to
help you heal from previous injuries or weaknesses. “We can then
determine and prescribe a unique fitness protocol that will accelerate
you along a path to your new self.”
FMS also helps pinpoint and personalize a workout program to
get you active and healthy without injury or pain. Do you have a
knee problem, back pain or shoulder pain? Tightness in your hip?
FMS will help your trainer diagnose the problem and come up with
a solution that is viable and part of your exercise program at Purlife.
“Everyone should do the FMS Test to show what your body needs
and where the weaknesses are in order to strengthen and mobilize.
Now that people are sitting so much at their jobs they are often out
of balance because of their sedentary lifestyles,” said Black.
After the FMS Test your trainer will find out where your problems
are and what needs to be done to help you return to a life that
is vital and active – powerful and proactive.
You want to be able to pick up your baby - or a napkin that has
fallen on the floor. Being mobile and feeling strong is essential to a
well-rounded life and lifestyle. This goal is achieved by what Black
calls corrective exercises.
Purlife Fitness also has top of the line equipment for any type of
training. They have treadmills and machines from Precor and LifeFitness,
and a state of-the-art group fitness studio. They have free
weights and a strength area with an Olympic lifting style platform.
The reason for their popularity is that they get results. “I can’t believe
how my life has changed by switching to PurLife Fitness! My
favorite thing about it is the encouragement that you feel throughout
the center – not just from the trainers, but from fellow classmates
and gym goers – everyone is so friendly and supportive, and
it makes it a very motivating environment,” said member Jill Pavlov.
Purlife Fitness has one goal – and that is to make sure you live
and lead an active healthy life. It goes without saying that the right
exercise program can change your life – the folks at Purlife know
this. That’s why they’re waiting for your call.
