Achieve 24 Fitness Adopts “Health Coaching Concept”
Posted: at 5:23 am
Achieve 24 Fitness adopts new EZ Coach system to provide health coaching to its current members and offers specialty programs for those with health conditions. Read below.
Elmwood Park, NJ (PRWEB) February 07, 2012
Co-owner's Mike Malone and Ben Krymis of Achieve 24 Fitness Centers in Elmwood Park and Hackettstown New Jersey have recently enhanced their business model to adopt the new EZ Coach health-coaching system. This new health-coaching model allows the Achieve 24 Fitness members to capitalize on getting the "fitness programming” necessary to reaching their goals following the initial sign-up procedure. Malone states, “For us, our member's tenure is tied to how well we take care of them after the sale. I want to make certain each member of our facility gets the most out of their membership. With EZ Coach I know they are getting a plan that ensures their fitness success.”
The EZ Coach system also makes health coaching affordable to every person who wishes to make positive changes in their health. Rocco Boulay, exercise physiologist and EZ Coach creator says, “The EZ Coach program addresses the 7-components of health that make a person optimally healthy. These components are strength, cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, body composition, meal planning, nutritional supplementation and the mind/body connection.”
EZ Coach’s unique scientific approach measure each participant’s current fitness levels then employs a series of complex mathematical algorithms that develop a very precise exercise prescription. Once the prescription is created, the fitness club member can log onto the EZ Coach website to learn how to execute the exercise plan.
Rocco adds, “The challenge many health and fitness centers face today are competitors who offer low priced memberships that only provide "equipment rental” and not the planning necessary to get people fit. People join these membership only facilities year after year only to be disappointed with their lack of results that lead to dropout.” Ben Krymis of Achieve 24 says, “If a member can get fit all on their own that’s great. But if there is a member who is struggling in the club and they cannot afford personal training, I want to be sure that they get enough direction to get results they seek. This is the member we hope to service with the EZ Coach program.”
John McCarthy, former Executive Director of the International Health & Racquet Sports Association (IHRSA) states, “Today, new members are not only harder to find, but they are also more expensive to acquire. More and more clubs will be placing a greater emphasis on membership retention, i.e., on keeping the members they already have. Ultimately, this will be good for the industry. It will also be good for individual clubs and individual club members.” The EZ Coach system allows club owner to provide every member in the club the instructions necessary to see results that lead to member retention and greater profitability.
The EZ Coach software application is compatible on both PC and Macintosh platforms. It also utilizes Apple’s I-Pad to collect data from the member during an exercise test that immediately syncs the data into the software that generates an 8-week fitness plan. This efficient protocol eliminates hours of labor while providing members with their own fitness plan.

Resistance Band Training Expert Dave Schmitz Makes List of 100 Most Influential People in Health and Fitness
Posted: at 5:23 am
Health and wellness website Greatist.com has named resistance band training expert Dave Schmitz to its list of the 100 Most Influential People in Health and Fitness
Elizabethtown, KY (PRWEB) February 06, 2012
Dave Schmitz, a leading resistance band training expert, has just been named one of the 100 Most Influential People in Health and Fitness by Greatist.com. He joins a list which includes Dr. Oz, the Dalai Lama, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and First Lady Michelle Obama.
In announcing the list, Greatist.com noted that that factors they considered to qualify included “the trends they’ve set, the products they’ve created, and how long they’ve worked in their area of expertise.” The website also considered social media presence and other formal recognition.
Dave Schmitz is a noted expert in the field of resistance band training. Since starting as a physical therapist, Schmitz has taken bands from an injury rehab tool to a means of boosting athletic performance. In addition to training athletes, he lectures and offers band training advice on his blog.
The website remarked upon Schmitz’s enthusiasm for training with resistance bands, marveling at how Schmitz has turned resistance band programs into a “must-use for high performance athletics.”
For his part, Dave Schmitz is honored to appear along such notable names as the First Lady and the Dalai Lama. “Training with resistance bands is my passion, and I have devoted my career to teaching about them. It is very humbling to be honored for it,” Schmitz said.
A resistance band program can be done by itself or, to greater effect, as a complement to strength training programs. Band workouts help people to reach their fitness goals in a number of ways, including by increasing mobility, alleviating joint pain, and improving strength.
Resistance band workouts make use of the forces of momentum, gravity, and ground resistance, which is not the case in standard weightlifting. As a result of the different movements available with bands, resistance band programs improve explosiveness through a range of movements.
The creators of the list took special note of Schmitz’s leadership in the field of band training, singling out his blog as well as the products he has created. Recently, Schmitz released a Resistance Band Certification aimed at improving the skills of those who train young athletes.
Schmitz notes, “Resistance band trainers, like other strength trainers, need to be qualified for bands to work with kids.”
In this resistance band training instructor course, Dave Schmitz takes trainers from the basics of resistance bands through advanced workouts. It comes with 7 DVDs and a comprehensive manual which includes beginner, intermediate, and advanced resistance band training programs.
To learn more about the resistance band certification, visit: http://resistancebandcertification.com/.
About Dave Schmitz: Dave Schmitz is the Co-Owner of Resistance Band Training Systems, LLC and the creator of http://www.resistancebandtraining.com.
ResistanceBandTraining.com is a member of the Fitness Consulting Group family of companies. It is the only website exclusively devoted to training with large continuously looped resistance bands.
