journey gym Persistency Sessions Are Group Exercise For The Rest Of Us

Submitted by journeygym on Fri, 04/05/2013

journey gym now has as a part of our Persistency Centers a new approach to group fitness and we call this approach "journey gym Persistency Sessions". These sessions are a 40 minute group flexibility and fitness class, a goal setting/tracking class, and a health and nutrition education class.  

See as a company we found that "the rest of us" needed more than to just be a member of a gym or a club or a studio, we needed more than to be directed in a group exercise class, we needed more than a trainer standing by us while we worked out. We needed a revolution in the approach to why you would be apart of a fitness center.  In turn the Persistency Sessions are designed to provide the following 5 proven key elements to success with a health and fitness regimen:

1) TRACKING - 5 minutes of capturing, via a journal or smart phone, all the food and beverage intake, the physical fitness completed, and rest received over the prior day.
