Norfolk Gyms and Fitness

At ESTEEM Fitness, owner Jody Jones helps women build muscle tone and confidence in fitness sessions that have caught the attention of Fox 43. She and her team of talented instructors teach a bevy of fitness classes that include pole dancing, intense cardio Zumba classes, and the weightless core-building class. The studio’s schedule lets guests break a sweat every day of the week on gleaming brass poles in front of full-length mirrors or with the help of Pilates balls.

The licensed medical professionals of Core Health Results specialize in treating chronic disorders of the spine without surgery or other invasive treatments. Through specialized procedures—such as spinal decompression and laser therapy—the staff helps heal herniated and bulging disks and works to reduce debilitating pain, and the facility houses an FDA-approved MLS therapy unit. Core Health can also employ its laser for cosmetic treatments, including weight-loss therapies, body contouring, or removing craters from the moon.

Jim White, who recently earned the 2011 Community Fitness Award from the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, and his staff help promote their clients’ wellness with a four-factor approach. This system supplies clients with a dedicated training team, varied workouts that produce results, nutrition plans designed by registered dietitians and dietetic technicians, and tools to help clients maintain fitter bodies.

Every member of the Jim White team operates with the mantra "If we can't do it, we can't expect you to," and they maintain that mindset when recommending realistic training programs to their clients. Workouts are selected from a menu of plyometrics, boot camps, and kickboxing routines, and onsite dietitians help balance exercise with a healthy nutrition plan. As a result, clients can develop healthier eating and exercising habits to get them on their way to long-term success.
