Philadelphia Sports Clubs in Chalfont has got your motivation!

The American College of Sports Medicine fitness survey identifies these top trends in fitness and you need to try them out at Philadelphia Sports Clubs in Chalfont--they have them all--check them out on www.mysportsclubs.com or come to free fitness days on Tuesday, Sept 23rd and Tuesday, Sept 30th:

High Intensity Training: Short bursts of high intensity training followed by short period of rest and recovery. You may have tried P90X or heard of CrossFit. PSC has their version with UFX (Ultimate Fitness Experience) and CMC (Civilian Military Combine) and BURN group classes.

Body Weight Training: Pushups, pull ups, squats & lunges all using your body weight as resistance versus loading plates of weights to your limbs. Check out PSC’s TRX Suspension Training equipment and classes. Born of the US Navy SEALs, this type of body weight training develops strength, balance, flexibility and core stability all at the same time.

Functional Fitness: Traditional weight “machines” are limited in their ability to move the body through multiple planes of motion which is the key to functional fitness...strengthening your body to perform everyday activities more efficiently and without pain. PSC’s UFX ZONE includes all the props and tools to train your body functionally. Try out our heavy ropes, weight sleds, medicine balls, bands and box jumps to catapult your fitness level to new functional heights.

Fitness Programs for Over Adults: The baby boomer generation is aging into retirement, but they are not ready to retire physically. Gyms are providing programs and classes that are customized for this population. Philadelphia Sports Clubs in Chalfont has Silver Sneakers low impact cardio and strength classes as well as an indoor pool that offers aquacize classes that provide workouts without stress on joints.

Exercise Programs for Children: With all the national focus on childhood obesity in America, schools are still cutting back on physical education and recess. Not too many adults like the word “workout” so why would a child. Fun programs and classes that get kids active are key to their fitness success. PSC offers a multitude of youth programs that keep kids going without them knowing--dance, zumba, martial arts, swimming, tennis, basketball and more. Put your kids in a class while you workout; that is truly leading by example.

Group personal Training: Trainers are offering training to small groups of 3 to 5 people. Not only does it provide a motivational atmosphere, it easier on the wallet than one-on-one training. Groups typically have common goals or specific interests like training for an event. PSC offers small group training in their UFX program, pilates reformer and more. They allow you to try a class free before you commit to these progressive fitness programs.

Yoga: Yoga has been around for centuries and continues to grow in popularity due to the aging population and the increased awareness of the importance of flexibility and balance to our overall health. Yoga continues to re-define itself with creative new slants to the age old traditional practice with aerial yoga, karaoke yoga, hot yoga and much more. PSC offers over 10 free yoga classes per week. Try a free class with a new instructor and see what flavor you prefer.

The survey continues to state what fitness programs are on the way out--pilates, zumba and spinning. Not sure who they polled, but at PSC in Chalfont, we see these classes continue to flourish. No matter whether your top 5 fitness passions are listed on the in or the out list, they are the programs that motivate you towards your fitness goals and therefore are crucially important. Please feel free to drop by Philadelphia Sports Clubs in Chalfont and try a complimentary class in your top 5 or something new. We are located at the intersection of County Line and Upper State Roads in Chalfont. Call us today for some motivational membership specials at 215-822-2303.
