New Year, Improved You – Henry Mayo Fitness and Health

At Henry Mayo Fitness and Health, we believe fitness should be an investment you make in yourself. When you take good care of yourself, quality of life improves and you can make plans for the future with confidence. As the New Year begins, we want to support an improved you!
Anyone from the community can become a member of Henry Mayo Fitness and Health; since many of our members are direct referrals from the Henry Mayo Hospital system and its Physical Therapy department, we require our degreed and certified Lifestyle Specialists to be up-to-date on the most current research-backed exercise methods. We also spend time collaborating and educating ourselves on the safest and most effective workouts for clients who are in the post-rehabilitation process, reclaiming their lives after events such as strokes, injuries, or other health events.
New members receive four complimentary appointments with a Lifestyle Specialist to help you navigate the options we provide at our facility. Your first appointment is a Health Risk Assessment, or HRA, that includes a consultation with a personal trainer about your goals, your movement history, a screen for mobility imbalances, and a review of any modifications you may need to make for a medical condition. The next two appointments, called Equipment Orientations, are thirty-minute introductions to our cardio machines and the most beginner-friendly set of our strength training equipment. Your final appointment is a ninety-day follow-up Equipment Orientation with a Lifestyle Specialist to answer any questions you might have after you’ve spent some time with us.
Depending on your needs and your progress, you might decide to enroll in a personal training program. To maintain the highest standard of fitness professionalism and safety, our Lifestyle Specialists are required to possess certifications in personal training, as well as at minimum a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology or a related field.
In addition, many of our Lifestyle Specialists have individual areas of expertise to support improving your health. Athletes from students to professionals can work on their skills with trainers from our Performance Institute. In our Nutrition Coaching Program, a Specialist can help you design sustainable habits to support a mindful way of thinking about food and long-lasting lifestyle changes
We have cutting-edge exercise equipment you can use to tailor your workout to fit your goals. Strength training can be done using our barbells, TRX straps, dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, and machines. Our facility also has a well-rounded set of cardiovascular equipment, ranging from low-impact stationary bikes to challenging devices such as stair-climbing machines.
Our group classes can be a fun way to add variety to your workout routine. We have low-impact options such as our Aqua Fit class hosted in our heated pool, as well as Sit to be Fit and Yoga, held in our Group Exercise Studio. If you enjoy a challenge, we offer Bootcamp Circuit and Spin-and-Sculpt classes that combine HIIT training with intense cardio and full-body strength training!
In addition, small group classes may be an economical way to improve your form in specialty exercise modalities. Small group training with a certified Lifestyle Specialist is limited to a maximum of four people and focuses on functional strength and well-rounded conditioning. Also, our Pilates studio can host up to six students in an equipment class to enhance core strength, mobility, balance, and stabilizing muscle control; for clients who would like individual attention and additional equipment, we offer private sessions lasting either a half-hour or an hour. And for patients recovering from heart health conditions, our Cardiac Rehab Class can be a great way to facilitate recovery.
