Memphis Health And Fitness Guide
The sweet taste of Memphis barbecue, as well as the other delicious food in the city, can sometimes add a few extra inches to the waistline. Fortunately, there are many Memphis fitness clubs to help people stay in shape or lose those few extra pounds.
The Cordova Athletic Club is considered one of the top athletic facilities in the southeastern US. The 50,000 square foot facility has top-of-the-line exercise equipment for both cardio and strength training workouts. Those who need help getting started on their new exercise routines can enlist the help of one of many full-time personal trainers in the club. They also offer childcare services for babies and children six months and older for those parents who are looking to get some exercise. For a smaller local experience, people can also join one of the eight YMCA facilities in the Memphis area. The YMCA provides access to swimming pools, basketball courts, tennis courts, and workout classes for several fun ways to stay in shape.
Part of losing weight and staying healthy is having a doctor monitor progress and overall health. There are several Memphis doctors and medical professionals who offer services to help people get on track to a healthier lifestyle. The Memphis Weight Loss Clinic is a quiet and comfortable facility that helps people reach their goals in a way that works best for the individual. Professionals consult with each of their patients to come up with a diet and exercise plan that will work for them, and also provides access to vitamins, supplements, and appetite suppressants when necessary. Regardless if a person wants to exercise on their own or enlist the help of a medical professional, there are several options for people to achieve their weight loss goals in Memphis.

MidSouth offers classes multiple times every day but Sunday, including doubly intense, half-hour "Power 30" sessions (all other sessions are 50 minutes). Mounted on a top-of-the-line Concept 2 rower and emboldened by the technical feedback and boisterous encouragement of your rowfittest instructors, you'll row your way into the flexing, chiseled realm of the Rowverse. With regular rowing, you can get as shredded as a block of cheese in a Mexican restaurant and ably equipped with boulder shoulders, promontory pecs, granite abs, and Grand Teton biceps. Best of all, it’s a low-impact, easy-on-the-joints workout that won't melt your knees or aggravate your ol' "hopscotch ankle."
Mark Grace has more than 15 years of teaching experience, including stints as the Director of Instruction at Colonial Country Club and the Director of the Memphis Golf Association. His golf academies occupy two locations, and both utilize the power of technological instruction aids such as video swing analysis, TrackMan Doppler radar ball tracking, and a computer coaching system that can compare the swing to those of more than 400 PGA model swings. Mark bases his teaching philosophy on the foundation of grip pressure, believing that the correct grip is the key to a fluid, balanced, and well-shaped swing.
Experienced gymnasts twirl and flip at one end of Gymcats Gymnastics’ floor as they train for advanced events. At the other end, toddlers learn introductory rolls and coordination. That’s the studio’s philosophy at a glance: real gymnastics taught in classes designed to suit all students. Kids aged 3–4 learn the basics of tumbling while increasing attention spans, learning social skills, and practicing human pyramids to reach cookie jars. More-seasoned athletes can receive instruction on the vault, bars, balance beam, and floor. After they graduate, students can apply their skills toward other sports or practice to become a part of Gymcats’ competitive teams. The gym also caters to grownups by hosting parents’ nights out on select Fridays and overseeing birthday parties.
