The Surgeon General advises that people of all ages can improve the quality of their lives through a lifelong practice of moderate physical activity. But finding the right outlet for that activity is sometimes a struggle. Some neighborhoods are not conducive to walkers or joggers. Bad weather can put a damper on attempts to exercise.

Many people head to their local health club for a safe, comfortable place to work out. An ordinary health club will meet the fitness and exercise needs of the average person. By design, however, LifeBridge Health & Fitness is no ordinary health club.

Exceptional Equipment, Superior Service
State-of-the-art training equipment fills the 65,000-square-foot LifeBridge Health & Fitness facility located at 1836 Greene Tree Road in Pikesville, Maryland. Structured, individualized programs and personal trainers are available to tailor a fitness program to meet your specific fitness goals.

The center also has embraced the concept of “wellness” to meet the needs of men and women over 40, whose health needs may be complex. There are several programs designed to meet the needs of individuals with chronic illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease, arthritis or diabites and these specialized wellness programs are supervised by LifeBridge Health physicians. Few centers in the region are able to meet so many diverse fitness needs under one roof.

Director Joel Schlossberg explains that the mission statement of LifeBridge Health & Fitness says it all: “to promote an improved quality of life and inspire our members to make fitness a lifelong endeavor.”

“It means feeling good about yourself, not only in terms of the way you look, but more importantly, the way you feel,” Schlossberg said.

LifeBridge Health & Fitness is recognized as one of the Baltimore area’s premier health and fitness centers. Physicians, professional athletes and trainers consider LifeBridge Health & Fitness the facility of choice because of the enormous variety of equipment and exercise programming options.

The center boasts many features not found in most health clubs. Numerous fitnesss challenges are presented through an aquatic fitness center featuring a 25-yard, five-lane lap pool; an aquatic therapy pool; and a comprehensive system of cardiovascular equipment , a personal entertainment system. Nutrition counseling, education programs and medical screenings are also offered.

Two exercise studios; a CycleFit studio; E-Zone™ entertainment systems; a multipurpose arena for basketball and volleyball; large, luxurious locker rooms with towel and key service, saunas, whirlpools and steam rooms; and a complimentary business center, featuring PCs with Internet access, fax machine, and phone, complete the LifeBridge Health & Fitness experience. Childcare through KidZone is also offered.

Strength in Numbers and On Your Own
Whether you have been attending fitness classes for some time or have never stepped foot in a health club, it can be a challenge to stay motivated. One of the best aspects of LifeBridge Health & Fitness is the strong social support.

For those seeking individualized results, LifeBridge Health & Fitness offers ActivTrax™, which includes a customized and new workout sheet each time you visit the club. Your own ActivTrax™ coach watches over you as you progress.

Over 100 classes are offered each week, many in group settings to boost motivation. Specialty classes range from Latin dance to programs for expectant mothers. Fitness-oriented outings and day trips are sponsored year round.

More and more, people just wanting to look and feel better about their health and physical condition are seeking out the fitness expertise so central to LifeBridge Health & Fitness. As the general population ages, Schlossberg said, wellness programs like those offered at LifeBridge Health & Fitness become increasingly important.

“As a society, we are getting older,” Schlossberg said. “The baby boomers are starting to enter retirement and the number of active, older Americans is growing exponentially.”

The focus on wellness, regardless of prior physical activity, places LifeBridge Health & Fitness at the head of the pack of health club or fitness center options. In addition, the staff at LifeBridge Health & Fitness set the center’s service record and training apart from the rest.
“Our staff has a level of education and training beyond what you might typically find in your everyday health and fitness club,” Schlossberg said.

The training team is diverse, from physical therapists, athletic trainers and exercise physiologists to strength and conditioning specialists and nationally accomplished bodybuilders. Equally important is the team of hand-selected, enthusiastic professionals who inspire, motivate and educate clients about fitness.

It’s no wonder LifeBridge Health & Fitness can provide an unparalleled level of service. Medical expertise and supervision, staffing excellence, and state-of-the-art facility combine to offer a superior choice for a broad spectrum of fitness needs.
