John Dadante founded Personally Fit Health Center in 1992. John attended Florida Atlantic University majoring in exercise physiology, and competed for years as a body builder. Considered a leader in the field of one-on-one personal/athletic training, John envisioned a service oriented fitness center that would enable others to feel his passion for personal fitness. We met recently with General Manager and Personal Trainer Sharon Pelagalli, and Vice-President of Sales and Personal Trainer Diana (Dee) Elliot, and listened as they described the services offered at Personally Fit Health Center;
Personally Fit Health Center is an individualized personal training center offering an all-inclusive program that includes Core Strength/Flex Band® training classes, Isagenix® cleansing and weight management, combined with one-on-one consultations that will assist you in reaching your fitness goals. We provide aerobic exercise, flexibility exercise, circuit training, weight training, and several types of cardio equipment, including steppers, rowers, full body ellipticals, regular ellipticals, bikes, and treadmills. As personal trainers, our goal is to give you a totally comprehensive health maintenance program that can work for anyone, regardless of age or physical condition.
We offer everything from personal training to group classes. Dee has morning classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and I teach group classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday morning. These classes consist of core training with stability balls, weighted balls, hand weights, and flex bands. Classes are also offered on Tuesday and Thursday evenings that incorporate kick-boxing. We offer tanning, massage and polarity treatments, and a new concept in frozen foods devised by a body builder and personal chef. These organic, balanced meals are extremely nutritious and deliver everything your body needs in convenient, proper sized portions. We also carry the Isagenix® line of cleansing and weight management products to help detox your body and keep you at optimal health. These products are ordered to fit the individual customer's needs.
Everyone in the fitness center is certified in the Jump Stretch Flex Band Training Bands. We are the national certification center, and have people fly in from all over the country to get their certification. It's a one day course, and a great program for teaching coaches, physical therapists, and personal trainers the importance of flexibility. These bands are used by all the professional sports teams, and Coach Jim Tressell uses these bands regularly with the Ohio State Buckeyes. As a result of using these bands, athletes experience a dramatic increase in speed, vertical jump, explosive power, and stamina. The bands provide increased flexibility, along with a seventy percent lower risk of injury, as well as the rehabilitation advantages.
We have a state-of-the art sound system featuring DMX Satellite Music with 104 channels. The music flows very nicely throughout the entire gym and it's very motivating. We adjust the music during the day to our members' tastes. During early morning hours we'll play easy listening music, when the heavy lifters arrive we change to alternative rock, and in the evenings when local business owners come in we'll switch to classic rock to help them relax.
We're a service oriented fitness center and strive to make each member comfortable. Everyone is given an orientation and set on a program to assist them in their fitness and health goals. We want everyone to feel special and like this is their home away from home.
Personally Fit Health Center has a totally comprehensive health maintenance program that can work for anyone, regardless of age or physical condition. Stop by Personally Fit Health Center today, and don't forget to tell them The Advocate sent you!
