You already know that FitClub’s motto is “Fitness and Wellness for Life,” but have you given much thought to what wellness is and how to find it at FitClub? If you think of treadmills and weight rooms when you think of FitClub, you might be missing out on a number of FitClub advantages that can improve your mental and physical wellbeing.


Wellness can most easily be defined as the combination of both physical and mental health. FitClub’s ability to improve your physical health is obvious, but when you can also use it to improve your mental wellbeing, you benefit from the wellness promise too. Not sure how to incorporate mental health into your FitClub time? Here are five ways you can improve your mental health and achieve wellness today.

  • Workshops and seminars. Follow FitClub on Facebook and take advantage of the huge variety of workshops and seminars that FitClub offers on a regular basis. Just within the last year, FitClub has covered everything from sleeping better to managing and preventing diabetes. The workshops and seminars are often free and scheduled conveniently to fit most schedules. A small, group atmosphere with experts is the best place to get information and have your questions answered.

  • Whether you are sore from your hard workouts or just need a little personal time to relax and unwind, you can schedule a massage at the front desk of FitClub West. Massage provides benefits to both your physical and mental health and maximizes the wellness aspect of the time you spend at FitClub.

  • Take a meditation class. Meditation is often called exercise for your brain. While you’re toning your muscles and burning fat, consider taking time to tone your brain and burn off nervous energy and stress. Learning to meditate has been associated with better overall health, reduced stress, a better immune system, and improved cognitive function. FitClub has a meditation class available to get you started and on your way to better mental health.

  • Personal trainers. Even members that have been exercising for years can benefit from a personal trainer. If you’ve hit a fitness or weight plateau, are bored with your own workout, or just want more information on technique, form, and options, consulting a personal trainer can radically change your mindset and your body. Investing the time in yourself with the help of an expert can make your workouts safer, more efficient, and more rewarding.

  • Taking a yoga class offers you a chance to combine physical exercise and mental relaxation, the combination of which is the ultimate wellness experience. No matter what your fitness goal may be, yoga can be incorporated to stretch and strengthen both muscles and your mind. You don’t have to be an expert to jump into a class. Bring an open mind and the willingness to stretch your own limits and start enjoying the mental and physical benefits of a great FitClub yoga class immediately.
