ABOUT US

As for now...please take the time to view our entire site to find out more about the TREMENDOUS opportunity that awaits you at Champion Fitness. You will feel at ease...as soon as you walk in the door.  What can you expect ??

Well...we will TAKE THE TIME to get you started...the RIGHT WAY!!

It is very important to us that you enjoy not only your first 7 days at the club, but every other day you visit us.  Many members are anxious to see results right away when they begin fitness programs.  Please be patient with yourself and your body.  Give your body a chance to adapt to your new fitness lifestyle.  Do not try to attempt too much too fast, but please remember that consistency is the key with fitness.

 Our members tell us that learning about fitness and exercise helps make them more comfortable in the club.  We want to provide you with all the information and support you need to achieve your goals.  That’s why we custom design 10 week training programs for our new members.

 As a new member, you’ll be scheduled for four helpful appointments with my professional trainers and myself.  During your first appointment, we will review your goals and objectives.  Then a basic workout is developed around your goals, injuries, and training history.  Then you’ll be able to start on your first workout at Champion Fitness.

 Before your workouts, it is important to eat a small meal at least 60-90 minutes prior to your workout.  If you don’t have enough calories to sustain your workout, you might experience a drop in energy and may feel overly tired and even dizzy.  If you have not eaten, we suggest purchasing a drink from our selection of sports drinks.  This will give you the energy to sustain your workout.

 Always warm-up prior to beginning your workout.

Warming up your muscles before exercising increases the quality and effectiveness of your workout and minimizes the risk of injury.  A proper warm-up is 5-10 minutes on any cardiovascular machine.

To improve your cardiovascular fitness, you must do an aerobic workout at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes at an intensity of 65-85% of your max heart rate.  To figure out your heart rate range, take 220 and subtract your age, then multiply it by (point 65) and (point 85).   This is your predicted max heart range.

After your cardio workout, we recommend a static stretching program to enhance flexibility, reduce muscle soreness, and aid in your cool-down.  Static stretching is a stretch that is slow and sustained movement without bouncing.  Ask Roger and his trainers for a couple of good recommendations and instructions for a stretching program.

For your safety and continued improvement, our trainers may make periodic recommendations on proper equipment usage and general exercise technique.

Be careful not to overtrain.  If your muscles are still sore from a previous workout, do not do exercises for those particular muscles until the soreness is gone.  This will allow your muscles to fully recover.

 Fitness Facts

Strength Training

Strength Training helps your body get stronger, increase metabolic function and reduce risk of injury.  Strength training increases muscle tissue and gives shape and structure to your muscles.  Because fat is burned in muscle tissue, the more muscle you have, the greater your fat-burning potential is.  Weight training burns 4-10 calories per minute, depending on your size and fitness level.

 You are likely to experience the positive effects of weight training quickly.  Research shows that muscle performance increases by 45-65% after two months of strength training.  Remember consistency is the key.

 Weight training should be done about 3 times a week and no more then 5 times in one week.  Allow a min of 6 days of rest before working the same muscle twice.

 Cardiovascular Exercise

Cardiovascular training increases your cardiovascular fitness, circulation, and endurance.  It also burns calories and body fat, reduces stress, and improves overall health and well being.  A well-conditioned heart is stronger and more efficient.

We recommend at least 3 cardio workouts a week for at least 20 minutes, but no longer than 45 minutes (this will cause muscle break down).

Cardiovascular exercise uses body fat and carbohydrates for energy.  Your body uses a significant amount of energy because cardio work is done over a longer period of time.  Aerobic activity that is sustained at your target heart range will burn more calories from fat for the remainder of the day.  To calculate your target heart range, check the previous mentioned formula or ask one of the staff trainers to calculate your range.

 One pound of fat burns approximately eight calories daily and stores 3,500 calories of energy.  The two keys to changing body composition are performing activities that cause your body to use its stored fat and strengthening muscles to become better fat burners.  This can be accomplished through a healthy diet, resistance training and cardiovascular workouts. One pound of muscle tissue burns approximately 35-75 calories daily and stores 450 calories of energy.

 While rapid weight loss may be temporarily satisfying, your percentage of body fat may not decrease significantly.  By fueling your body with proper nutrients and protein, your body will transport fat into the muscle to be metabolized and result in a decrease of fat tissue.

We look forward to EXCEEDING your expectations !
