  • Lose weight and inches
  • Tone muscle
  • Lose body fat
  • Gain strength
  • Increase vitality

Exercises are performed at a slow, controlled rate and are easy to learn for those new to strength training. Participants also learn several stretches to improve flexibility and prevent soreness. Qualified trainers supervise all exercise sessions.

Food Plan
Delicious, easy-to-prepare meals are available from the BIOMETRICS Nutrition & Fitness menu.
