Bone density and Powerplate

We have boasted that Gyrotonic® sessions with us can make you into a superhero. Now we have evidence we can cultivate your superpowers!

The folks at Power Plate have done extensive research. The results show that whole body vibration “may lead to an increase in bone formation.” Now we having living proof!

Liane, a long-time client and friend of Fluid Fitness, was diagnosed with osteopenia in 1995. After being on medication, like Fosamax, for many years, her bone density measurements remained below normal. Two years ago her doctor took her off the medication because it was not helping. However, a recent bone density test showed a 10.8% improvement in the hip and 4.6% improvement in the spine – both measures are now in the normal range for the first time in over 15 years! How did that happen?

The only thing that is new about her regimen, and the only thing that could account for the improvement, is the Power Plate. Adding 15 or more minutes on the Power Plate to workouts several times a week, has significantly improved her bone density, along with balance and strength. Imagine how much spinach she would have to eat to duplicate those results!

If you're concerned about bone density and balance, or just need a fast whole-body workout, try a 15-minute introductory Power Plate session for just $20 and boost your inner superhero!

Spotlight on Success

We've been boasting a bit about our clients lately and we're not done yet! Alison Stroming, one of our younger clients, received a full page write-up in the February/March issue of Pointe Magazine! She's been making a splash in her performances at the JKO School (For those of you who don't know, that's American Ballet Theater's highly selective Pre-Professional Training Program). Her tenacity has caught the eye of faculty and inspired this positive review (http://www.pointemagazine.com/issues/februarymarch-2010/wings-alison-stroming).

At only 16 she has an incredibly busy schedule and a list of accomplishments under her belt. The work she does here supports her daily challenges, keeping her body aligned, muscles functioning efficiently, and joints healthy. This sort of strength and stability is important for such a burgeoning career.

We wish Alison the best of luck. Though we love seeing her here in the studio, we can can't wait to see her next venture on the stage!

We've said it before, a strong, a healthy body will give you wings in any endeavor. Come see how we can help you. We'll even blog about your feats. After all, your success is our success!

7 Across, 5 Down

Puzzled about our title? No, these aren't the latest moves in a Gyrotonic session. Have you ever noticed the framed ceramic crossword puzzle containing the name Fluid Fitness hanging at the front desk? Joanne Sullivan created this lovely piece for our grand opening in 2007.

She created another beautiful mosaic for this year's Lullapuzzoola tournament winner, Dan Feyer who completed the playoff puzzle perfectly in 7 minutes, 10 seconds! You can see his proud prize here http://dandoesnotblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/sunday-82309-lollapuzzoola.html.

Since then, Joanne has been commissioned to create two more crossword mosaics. If you'd like one for yourself, give us a call and we'll put you in touch with her. You can have an up-close and personal look at ours on your next visit. You have scheduled your next visit, haven't you? Just checking.

Here at Fluid Fitness we like to believe that regular Gyrotonic sessions with our instructors can make you feel like a super hero, ready to take on the world and all its challenges. Naturally, we like to celebrate all those exciting feats and successes!


Our very own Stacy Shane has been nominated as one of Out Magazine's 100 Honorees www.out.com/out100/nominees_53.asp. He produced The Temeperamentals, a well- received historical drama by Jon Marans. The play will open again at New World Stages this winter. There is even buzz that the production may move to bigger venues soon!

OK, so maybe we can't take complete credit for Stacy's great honor, but a creative, productive mind works better with a healthy, happy body and we certainly help with that! Come in for a session. You'll be surprised how great you'll feel when you're done. When you leap that tall building with a single bound, be sure to let us know; we'll be proud to write about it.

Shake Up Your Workout Routine With Power Plate!!

Fluid Fitness recently brought a Power Plate machine. The Power Plate is big in Europe and my friends were raving about it. I thought to myself "How great can this vibration machine really be?" So i did some research and tried it out. I was amazed by how much the machine made me/my muscles work, even just standing on the machine was a workout, and it was fun too! After a 30 minute workout i felt like i had just done an hour at the gym, and i felt energized! The vibration contracts your muscles, so with a combination of this and working out, you are doing twice the workout in half the time! As well as strength and muscle tone the machine is great for flexibility, core strenghth and stability, balance, co-ordination, blood circulation and bone density. I also love the 'massage' setting which is very popular at the end of a workout! I fell in love with the machine straight away and decided i wanted to get myself certified, so i did just that. I am now a personal trainer at Fluid Fitness on the Power Plate machine and have a growing client base, so come give it a try!!! As an introductory offer you can try a workout session for $20.
