Q: What is the DMS?
A: The DMS or Deep Muscle Stimulator is a tool operated by Personal Trainers that uses percussion and mechanical vibrations that reach deep into the muscle tissue. The DMS can be used on trigger points or to isolate a specific muscle. It is also an excellent tool to use pre and post workout. The vibration and percussion of the DMS may offer the following benefits:
- Increased circulation
- Reduced pain
- Faster rehabilitation from injury
- Increased lymphatic flow
- Break up of muscular scar tissue
- Reduced lactic acid build up
- Tissue Regeneration
- Soft & Active tissue release
The DMS may be used during Personal Training sessions or by appointment for an additional fee.
Q: What is the FreeMotion Vertex?
A: The FreeMotion Vertex is Whole Body Vibration Platform (WBV). When movement is performed on the Vertex the vibrations initiate an involuntary muscle contraction, resulting in increased muscular fire rate. The Vertex can be used for strength, power and flexibility training. The FreeMotion Vertex may be used during Personal Training sessions or by appointment for an additional fee.
Q: What is the New Leaf Metabolic Testing System?
A: Our New Leaf metabolic assessment and training program is based on decades of medical research and proven scientific know-how. Whether you’re just starting to exercise or you’re training for your next marathon, you can boost your metabolism. And that means you can achieve your goal of better health, fitness, or athletic performance—when your exercise and nutrition plans are based on your personal metabolic profile.
Q: What is my metabolic profile and why is it important?
A: Think of it as your metabolic fingerprint: It’s unique to you, and it holds all the info needed to create a highly successful, personal exercise training plan. Your metabolic profile helps you determine how long you should exercise and how intensely (probably not as hard as you think!). Your profile also provides insight into the nutritional choices that will improve your health, increase your overall fitness, and ultimately enhance your athletic performance.
