The HLM Fitness Center

IN ADDITION TO OFFERING INDIVIDUALIZED FITNESS MEMBERSHIPS AND PERSONAL TRAINING, YOU WILL NOT EXPERIENCE ANOTHER FITNESS FACILITY THAT HAS GONE TO SUCH LENGTHS IN ENSURING YOUR SUCCESS. JUST ASK OUR MEMBERS!

“Exercise isn't good for you, the right exercise is good for you! Whether you are a patient transitioning from rehabilitation to fitness, someone exercising for the first time, or an experienced fitness participant, this supportive and friendly environment has something to teach and offer you.“

Not all fitness centers and gyms are alike. Most people are seduced by the size, or the price, but these serve as poor predictors of whether you will successfully participate in a fitness regimen. Gyms tend to offer you the fanciest and latest equipment, but will you be able to use it properly, or is it suited for your size and ability. Having spent over a decade as a physical therapist, personal trainer and educator, I can tell you most fitness studios look like they are state of the art but under closer examination, fail the client. Equipment tends to be chosen by professionals who have very little experience with people either new to fitness or with any kind of physical limitations.

Although they charge you an initiation fee, it usually amounts to accepting your payment, showing you around and patting you on the back. But, how are you supposed to learn and use all of the equipment or even properly to get healthy results? The reality is that weight training injuries are on the rise and most people in gyms are incorrectly using machines.

Your membership is important to us and so is your health. As physical therapists, we have taken the time to hand pick our weight machines and cardiovascular equipment with your posture, biomechanics and technique in mind. You WILL NOT experience another fitness facility that has gone to such lengths in ensuring your success!
