Scottsdale Health and Fitness

After earning reputations as elite trainers throughout the East Valley, NASM-certified personal trainers Luis Galindo and Jeremy Jones pooled 30 years of combined fitness experience to cofound Funktional Fitness. At their custom-designed studio in downtown Gilbert, they waive the monotony of gym machines and treadmill stacking for workouts based on functional movements—actions relevant to everyday living. Their regimens and nutrition programs encourage guests to embody the studio's 10 core values, which include "unity," "embrace change," and "strive to be 1% better each day."

Rather than roping its clients into memberships, Funktional Fitness allows them to customize their training plans according to the TMDA (think, motivate, decide, and act) model. One-on-one and semiprivate sessions stress individual feedback, whereas GroupFit classes combine the intimate instruction of private lessons with the camaraderie of book clubs that meet to tear dictionaries in half. Patrons might battle their own body weight with TRX suspension cords, swing kettlebells, or flow through yoga poses during their visits, building strength in a welcoming environment infused with competitive drive.

Owner Tannis Henley and her colleague Carrie Leigh have cleansed more than 3,000 colons at RevivaNation Detox & Wellness Center. Armed with International Association for Colon Hydrotherapy certifications and FDA-certified equipment, the hydrotherapists set clients at ease by fully explaining the colonic process in singsong, elven voices. They assist in every step of the procedure, helping control the gentle ebb and flow of the colon through cleansing, hydrating waters. By eliminating the debris lurking at the end of the digestive tract, many clients find relief from constipation, bloating, allergies, and citations for noisy bellies.

For more than a quarter century, the skilled staff at Advanced Medical Center has tended to Arizona families with comprehensive medical services, creating individualized plans to meet their goal of "treating the whole person." The center's preventative health services identify potential problem areas, while walk-in urgent care tends to the unforeseen. A licensed aesthetician tends to skin and provides other cosmetic services, helping patients look as youthful and healthy as they feel.

The physicians and nurses at Southwest Women's Care tend to women’s medical needs from childhood to menopause and beyond. The full roster of gynecological services includes general care, fertility treatments, and minimally invasive da Vinci surgical procedures. A staff of skincare specialist doles out facials, chemical peels, and injectable fillers to ward off signs of aging and feral balloon animals.

Just Smiles’ Dr. Stephen Resnick is always on call. When Just Smiles is closed, the Tufts University grad has all incoming calls kicked to his cell phone, demonstrating that from the moment patients walk through the door to even after they leave, Dr. Resnick and his staff put them first.

In the office, new patients begin their dental journey not by slinking into an exam chair, but rather by taking a tour of the multifaceted facility. Within consultation rooms, the doctor maps out treatment plans for cosmetic treatments such as Invisalign, veneers, lumineers, bridges, and crowns—all of which come with a limited lifetime warranty and a memory book filled with someone else’s baby teeth. Individual audio and video systems outfit the treatment rooms, distracting patients as the doctor fiddles with crowns or performs standard checkups. After each dental procedure, clients can relax in the designated recovery rooms before heading home and awaiting a checkup call from the friendly staff within 24 hours.
