What is fitness?
An interesting question since even amongst elite athletes the answer is hardly ever the same. To a weightlifter it’s measured by how much weight can be successfully lifted. To a competitive runner it’s all about covering a set distance in the shortest possible time. What fitness is depends a lot on your perspective: who you are and the activities you pursue. What really matters is real world fitness for each of us, fitness you actually notice, fitness that you can use.

Why get in shape?
Because an improved level of overall fitness enhances everything you do in life from getting around a busy city everyday to playing a round of golf on the weekends, to long-term health, to just feeling good. Our overall fitness level has a lot to do with who we are and how we feel about ourselves throughout our lives.

Where to get in shape?
First and foremost, the gym should be convenient. Remember that the true value of any club membership is determined by how frequently it is actually used. Even the least expensive memberships, if used infrequently, cost more on a per visit basis. Also, the gym shouldn’t feel like a penalty box, it has to be a place you like to go. At Level 1 Fitness, we understand that for many of us our free time is our most precious commodity. With a first-rate facility and service, our goal is to make the time you spend with us the best part of your day.

How to get in shape?
For most of us combining elements of strength, cardiovascular activity and functional ability with sensible weight control prepares us best for the challenges of daily life and produces the quickest results. At Level 1 Fitness we aim to be your fitness resource, helping you develop a healthier lifestyle that combines sensible eating habits, regular visits to the gym as well as other activities you can do outside the gym that keep your fitness regimen moving along. Achieving health & fitness is all about making small, permanent changes that add up over time not quick fixes that never last or amount to anything.
