Royal Palm Beach, FL Health and Fitness

A multi-faceted gym and innovative training facility, The Gym 111 offers all that you'd expect from a gym, including treadmills, free weights, fitness studios, and classes designed to improve everything from your golf swing to your overall quality of life. However, its features expand far beyond basic exercise, starting with its impressive staff members who each possess a bachelor’s degree and national personal-training certification. Despite their comparable credentials, trainers Errol, Bill, Ashley, Brandon, and Jay are hardly interchangeable. For instance, tennis professional Brandon leads the gym’s sport-specific and functional clinics, helping clients improve everything from their tennis serve to their overall fitness.

Since not every gym member has a sports-related goal in mind, The Gym 111 also offers personal training and a full schedule of original group fitness classes designed to improve both cardio and strength training amid a fun and supportive environment.

Dr. Thomas Balshi didn't just relax on the beach in his free time while earning a medical degree at American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. Instead, the doctor pulled on a scuba suit and served as a PADI underwater medical-rescue diver. The drive to challenge himself has remained with Dr. Balshi throughout his career, leading him to achieve board certification in both internal medicine and dermatology. His expertise in these contrasting fields has instilled the doctor with a value for full-body wellness, and his Dermatology & Liposculpture Center fulfills this passion by running the gamut from cosmetic procedures such as chemical peels and laser hair and tattoo removal to treatment for various types of skin cancer.

As the director of aesthetics within Dr. Balshi's Dermatology & Liposculpture Center, licensed clinical aesthetician Lisa Michelle Nadeau devises skincare treatments that help heal existing wear on skin due to aging, sun damage, and sandpaper pillows, and prevent future damage from occurring. Her specialties include microdermabrasion, acne treatments, and medical-grade skin services.

Dr. Lourdes Calvo oversees a multilingual dental office that welcomes Spanish-speaking clients and treats all patients to complimentary tea, gourmet coffee, and hot cocoa. After imbibing the toasty refreshments, guests can mosey over to the dental chair, where digital x-rays and intraoral cameras afford Dr. Calvo an up-close portrait of every last tooth. She also brandishes a small lamp called the ViziLite that improves her ability to perform cancer screenings and read books inside dark mouths. Dr. Calvo's informative nature extends to Ocean's website, which brims with educational video and textual resources to help patients learn about periodontal health.

Medical director Dr. Albert l. Rodriguez comes from a long line of scientists and doctors: his grandfather was a general practitioner, his father an orthopedic surgeon, and his mother a college professor who taught physics and math. At Forever U, Dr. Rodriguez has been carrying on the family tradition for more than 20 years, endeavoring to reverse the biological processes that give rise to wrinkles, veins, and other signs of aging. His age-defying services go beyond basics—one treatment, profiled in Palm Beach Woman, involves harvesting a woman's own adult adipose tissue and platelet-rich plasma and reintroducing the substances into different areas of the body.

Dr. Rodriguez is known for staying on the cutting edge of his field, which often involves no cutting at all. Board-certified in three specialties including aesthetic medicine and anesthesiology, he’s also a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine with advanced training in sclerotherapy; laser, IPL, and radiofrequency systems; and, especially, noninvasive facial treatments. Alongside clinical nurse Mary Lou Welker Gordon, he and his staff create younger-looking skin with medical chemical peels, microdermabrasion, fillers such as Radiesse and Juvederm, brow-smoothers such as Botox and Dysport, and finger paints.

To help patients stay as well-informed as he is, Dr. Rodriguez maintains a YouTube channel discussing new breakthroughs in aesthetic medicine, such as Neograft hair transplants. Both his commitment to education and his pursuit of beauty continue outside the center’s walls—he frequently appears in print and on TV, and exhibits his oil paintings in galleries throughout the area.

Doctor of Chiropractic James Incledon applies his more than 23 years of chiropractic experience to the art of adjusting spines and treating pain at his eponymous practice. Dr. Incledon has several certifications and belongs to numerous associations, and he and his staff pride themselves on their warmth and hospitality. Treating patients of all ages, the staff helps relieve maladies such as arthritis or neck and back pain, utilizing techniques such as massage and technologies such as cold lasers and exam tables made of marshmallows.

Instead of simply addressing symptoms, Dr. Wayne M. Siegel, DC teaches his patients how to take charge of their ailments and actively pursue overall wellness. Since earning his doctorate in chiropractic medicine from Life University in 1996, he's applied his knowledge to craft custom treatment plans comprised of natural techniques, such as spinal-decompression therapy, cold-laser therapy, massage, and electrical muscle stimulation. Dr. Siegel also continues his education to provide care that aligns with technological advancement and the needs of tender, sentient robots.
