The best medicine for fitness
Any fitness centre that wants to avoid getting a reputation as only for "muscleheads" will initiate contact with a new member by focusing on comprehensive counselling and care. This involves much more than merely explaining how a certain apparatus works. First of all, it is necessary to record the general state of health and current fitness. Then you must talk to the client to find out or work out a programme of objectives that should be reached under instruction during the course of training.
Here professional diagnostics systems support the collection and evaluation of body values such as blood glucose, blood pressure and bodily fat. The Health Manager goes one step further. Collected data is automatically transmitted by radio to laptop or PC. The software carries out the evaluation which is based on recognised medical studies. The diagnosis values can be saved under your name to enable long-term monitoring and to guide you in achieving your objectives. In addition the Health Manager also displays the individual's risk in terms of developing a cardiovascular disease in the mid or long term – and provides recommendations in order to minimise this risk. Training success is then revealed not only in a shapely body or improved fitness, but also through reducing health risks.
body diagnostic scales (also body fat scales) should form part of the basic equipment of any fitness centre. After all, absolute weight and the body mass index (BMI) do not say as much as the ratio between body fat, water and muscle mass.
Massagers for warming up or relaxing the muscular system can also be a sensible addition to the portfolio of a fitness centre. A unit integrated in the relaxo-comfort massage table replaces the masseur.
After training, the skin also benefits from an additional care unit.
