Move to revolutionize your workouts.

We all know that fitness is an important component in achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So, you go to the gym and work out just like the news tells you to. You are dedicated to your fitness routine, and yet, you are not experiencing results. Does this scenario sound familiar? Chances are you aren't doing the proper workout for your body because you weren't properly assessed in the beginning.

Revolutionary technology, called the Body Map is now available and helps trainers create more efficient solutions and ensure results for their clients. Developed by the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), the industry's leader for health and fitness education and powered by Biotonix, Body Map is a state-of-the-art tool used by professional athletes worldwide. This revolutionary system, available in the Los Angeles area only at Mid Valley Athletic Club, provides a comprehensive exercise program that helps someone reach fitness goals, reduce injuries and achieve optimum performance. Body Map is an integral part of the physical assessment process, in that it changes the way a person trains. Body Map reveals vital details of the body's postural control, integrated functional strength and functional flexibility. By utilizing information from digital images, a trainer, through the Body Map software, is able to create a customized exercise program specially designed to meet a person's fitness goals.

For example, if a person has a previous skiing injury that was never treated or if the person didn't fully recover, the Body Map, in a simple assessment, can identify limitations caused by an injury and how the body has compensated for it over the years. Everyone has imbalances and the Body Map helps a trainer re-align the body, thus positively affecting workout results and daily quality of life. If a trainer can identify problem areas, design a workout to correct them, then, the client not only achieves results, but actually can rectify pain in specific areas.

Body Map takes only minutes and will help someone achieve core strength, balance, proper body alignment, flexibility, injury reduction, increased vitality and optimum performance. The Body Map helps someone get solutions and results. "The most challenging task for any trainer is to identify the precise areas of the body that requires the most attention; imbalances and alignment issues tend to cause pain. Our bodies are very good at masking these problems and consequently, we overcompensate for weaknesses. The Body Map pinpoints these weaknesses and gives a clear roadmap so the trainer can set the client on a path to quicker results and success. Whether a client is training for an athletic event or just wants to improve quality of life, Body Map helps someone achieve maximum results. It is a brilliant tool and we are thrilled to be the only facility in Los Angeles that offers it, " says Stephanie Bayes, Fitness Manager at Mid Valley Athletic Club.
