YOUR FITNESS PROGRAM WILL BE BASED ON MEDICAL SCIENCE.

  1. First, we set a baseline with a measurable fitness assessment. At Summa Wellness Institute, we test the five components of physical fitness: aerobic capacity, body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. Conducted by one of our degreed fitness specialists, this evaluation gives us the data we need to create a custom fitness program that is uniquely yours. It also gives you a general understanding of where your fitness levels are at the start of your journey. Six months after your initial fitness assessment, we will do another mini-assessment to track your progress.
  2. Based on your fitness level, you get individualized exercise recommendations. Every member receives an individualized exercise recommendations based on the results of their personal fitness assessment. As your capacity for exercise increases, your exercise recommendations will be updated to keep you moving forward.
  3. You get professional nutrition counseling, too. Nutrition, paired with exercise, is a key component of health and wellness. As a member, you will receive a free 30-minute consultation with a registered dietitian who will discuss:
    • Any metabolic/health issues based on results of the fitness assessment
    • Types and quantities of food eaten at each meal
    • Tips to improve nutritional intake
    • Information on heart health, food shopping and mindful eating
  4. And then you’re ready to start the journey. For most people, the journey to enhanced health and wellness will include a blend of the three basic kinds of exercise:
    • Aerobic exercise such as running, cycling , dancing or swimming for cardiovascular health and weight management
    • Muscular or strength conditioning using free weights, resistance machines or water resistance for improved posture, low-back health and weight-management
    • Flexibility exercise such as yoga or Pilates for improved range of motion and reduced the risk of injury and muscle soreness
