NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday <strong>August</strong> 6 <strong>2019</strong> 17 In your neighbourhood A safe, gentle way to improve fitness and health For all those wanting to improve their strength, fitness and overall health in a relaxed, friendly environment, Charisma Health & Leisure in Avonhead provides the ideal opportunity. Not a gym, Charisma Health & Leisure is equipped with six Shapemaster Powertone electronic beds, each one designed to target specific muscle groups. Owner Katrina Barron explains: “With the Powertone system, the beds are all pre-set to operate for five minutes, and clients move from one to the next for the different sets of movements, with their session lasting just over 30 minutes. “The speed and resistance of each bed can be varied according to individual needs, and they are very safe – people of any age and any level of fitness can use them and gain the benefits.” These benefits include improving core strength, gaining longer, leaner muscles, improving circulation and increasing energy, as well as helping those with conditions such as osteoarthritis and multiple sclerosis. People also find the system useful for regaining strength and normal movement after surgery such as hip replacement, Katrina says, and for anyone with an injury such as a broken ankle or damaged shoulder, who want to maintain their fitness while recovering, the injured area can be isolated while they use the system. The Shapemaster system was developed in the UK in the late 1980s, and is now widely used around the world as a gentle, safe form of exercise. Charisma Health & Leisure in Avonhead is one of only two places in New Zealand that offers it. “Our other advantage is there is no pressure on people to sign contracts – we don’t have contracts, we offer flexible packages for our clients,” Katrina says. “You can come for a free trial, where we take you through the system, explain how it works and the health benefits it provides. “If you like it you can then take a month’s membership during which you can come once a day for as many days as you wish. After that you can choose from one of our flexible packages.” Charisma Health & Leisure is located at 45 Merrin Street, just along from the Avonhead Mall. Phone 358 3834. Open Monday to Friday 7.30am- 5.30pm and Saturday 8am-12.30pm. The Powertone electronic beds each provide different sets of movements for the body’s muscle groups.
