The team at Inception Exclusive Athletic Studio treats taking care of one’s body as a lifestyle. They believe that working out and eating healthy “is a 24/7 job” with no “stopping or starting . . . only doing.” To that end, they help patrons achieve this lifestyle through group classes that incorporate RealRyder stationary bicycles, Vertimax sports-training drills, and yoga-and-dance techniques. Small classes of up to 10 enable instructors to tailor workouts to each participant’s needs, and professional equipment, such as kettlebells and TRX bands, give exercisers an opportunity to heighten their workouts.

Slim Trim Spa supplies all-natural weight-loss supplements to clients and specializes in modern services tailored to a variety of wellness needs. Ultrasonic cavitation heats up microscopic air bubbles to break up fat cells in problem areas then safely and naturally metabolize them out of the body. A number of massage modalities, including sports, deep-tissue, and trigger-point therapy, can assist the detoxifying effects by stimulating circulation and energizing muscles.

The body-slimming experts at VIP Medical Weight Loss help patients lose up to 20 pounds in one month with personalized, step-by-step weight-loss packages. After a consultation with physicians, the center designs a custom workout and diet plan for each client while making sure it is healthy for the client to lose a significant amount of weight fast. Each plan has many facets, from nutritional counseling and education to appetite suppressants and vitamin B12 injections, and the clinic enhances new looks with wrinkle-smoothing dermal fillers. A results page hosts before-and-after pictures that are useful for those who want to make their huge ex-jeans feel jealous.

Parkside Health & Wellness Center’s experienced staff of chiropractic doctors, licensed massage therapists, and acupuncturists alleviates chronic pain and stiffness with holistic treatments. Chiropractors employ x-rays and advanced adjustment techniques to resynchronize spines bent from years of slouching or standing in for xylophones during prolonged jam sessions. Doctors deftly diagnose spinal maladies with methods that include Asyra bioenergetics testing, and skilled massage therapists alleviate tension and soreness with Swedish or deep-tissue strokes. Among other effective, noninvasive techniques, BrainCore therapy tunes brain radios to all-day reggae stations to assuage the symptoms of fibromyalgia, chronic-fatigue syndrome, and memory loss.

Drs. Barry Concool and Marc Bosem helm the Correctvision Laser Institute and have performed more than 40,000 LASIK procedures combined. And though he is eager to help their patients cast off their glasses, contacts, and opera lorgnettes with LASIK, that's not all they do.

Teaming up with Dr. Michelle Gonzalez—the institute's Spanish-speaking clinical director and optometrist—they offer a wide range of corrective-vision procedures, such as cataract surgery and conductive keratoplasty, which uses radio frequency instead of lasers to improve farsightedness. They even smooth over wrinkles with Botox, dermal fillers, and spackling paste.

Dr. Roy Goodman, a member of the American Chiropractic Association with more than 15 years of private-practice experience, helms a team of professionals. Along with spine-aligning chiropractic services, the clinic offers physical therapy for clients of all ages who suffer from a variety of conditions and injuries. For relief after rigorous exercise routines or competitive Twister matches, firm strokes from a licensed massage therapist—who is fluent in Swedish, neuromuscular, medical, and Thai modalities—work to relax muscles and increase circulation.
