Covington, KY Health and Fitness

During your two-month membership ($80, plus the $35 key-card charge to access the building) at Anytime Fitness, you can re-bloom your wilted health with the state-of-the-art facility's diverse range of cardio and strength equipment. Exploit muscles for non-financial gain with free weights, tone legs on the treadmills, undergo a demanding tour de fitness-center via exercise bikes, or just catch up on reruns of Homeboys from Outer Space with the gym's HDTV monitors. If the flawed workout plan you concocted yourself results only in frighteningly muscular ring fingers, one of Anytime's motivating personal trainers can prescribe a regimen designed to help you meet your fitness goals during a personal-training session ($55). For an even swifter kick in the shants, drop in for one class of boot camp (your first class is free)—an intense combination of cardio, resistance, stretching, and a range of challenging movements and exercises. When you've finished sculpting your flesh-statue, purify yourself of sweat and fried-cheese memories in Anytime's private restrooms and showers.

Sunlight pours onto the hardwood floors and exposed brick walls of BeneFit Studio, creating a serene backdrop for a diverse range of wellness services. Cardio and strength-training equipment speckle the studio, challenging trainees as they work their way through personal-training, boot-camp, and yoga sessions. Just beyond the training rooms, soft white curtains shroud the salon and spa, where guests perch upon cushy chairs as aestheticians dole out cuts, colors, and manicures, as well as facials and professional BEAM spray tans. Massage therapists also revitalize clients with Swedish and sports massages. And for ongoing wellness, a staff nutritionist crafts custom meal plans based on the goals and shadow heights of individual clients.

Drawing from more than 20 years of surgical experience, Dr. Lawrence Kurtzman restores the balance between patient and doctor by educating his clients, empowering them to make informed decisions regarding their cosmetic goals. Despite a bustling schedule, he oversees a specially qualified staff as they reshape, reconstruct, and augment visages and physiques.

In addition to cosmetic surgeries, Dr. Kurtzman's center also refines patients' looks with noninvasive procedures, including chemical peels, aesthetic laser skin resurfacing, and texture-smoothing dermabrasions.

For Cincinnati natives James T. Lutz, MD, and Daniel L. Buchanan, DC, the inspiration to help others lose weight came not from classrooms but from discussions with patients. James' work as the medical director of Bethesda Hospital's Weight Control for Life program showed him the trouble many patients have maintaining weight loss. After watching clients' ups and downs, Dr. Lutz developed the UniqueU program, a medically structured system that fosters weight reduction within clients without sacrificing safety.

Dr. Brian Meister employs the latest in modern technology to complete services such as cleanings, bridges and crowns, and three types of whitening. Intraoral cameras capture various images of the mouth, which patients can then see on a computer screen, and electric hand pieces remove dental decay at a fast pace and speed up root canals. Digital x-rays, which have 80% less radiation than traditional x-rays and 99.95% less radiation than the Hulk, survey the inner sanctums of the teeth and mouth to reveal potential problems.
