EALTH Shack’s new exercise and rehabilitation salon provides power-assisted exercise (PAE) using machines from the proven Shapemaster range.
Health Shack’s ethos is to promote health, fitness and wellbeing through PAE in its new salon in Almondbury.
Unlike a conventional gym, Health Shack’s equipment does not rely exclusively on muscle power; it is controlled by an electronic power system, biomechanically matched to the human body, which can be precisely set so the user can work passively or actively, depending on their ability.
Health Shack has an experienced team of health professionals who will carry out a thorough assessment of the client and then formulate a customised exercise plan designed to precisely match their requirements and objectives – all ages from 19 to 90.
Each member has an indepth body analysis, which includes blood pressure, body measurements including BMI, body fat and visceral fat. These are then recorded as the baseline for their reduction programme.
Clients are given a mini MOT every month and goals are reviewed. Any anomalies would be referred to the client’s GP.
The Health Shack salon provides a welcoming and relaxing environment in which to exercise. It is not a gym inhabited by individuals displaying their athletic prowess!
Clients can exercise at their own pace and capabilities, socialise and meet new friends.
Health Shack works with individuals to achieve their goals, many clients have lost both inches and weight loss dropping down clothes sizes as well as clients who have lowered their blood pressure and improved their general fitness levels.
One example is Sarah Tufnell, pictured below. She joined Health Shack eight weeks ago as she was unhappy with the picture taken on her birthday. Since then, she has lost 31 inches and 1st 5lbs.
