Amid the fitness equipment of Advanced Performance CrossFit’s facility, CrossFit Level 1 and Olympic weightlifting-certified instructors captain a high-intensity athletic training program used by police academies, military operation units, and hundreds of professional athletes around the globe. The innovative system strives to propel participants toward 10 core fitness domains—endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, and accuracy. The key ingredient to this effort is functional movement. In the company of a community of fellow fitness pursuers, students undergo varied regimens. These might incorporate cardio, plyometrics, weight training, and gymnastics, and they all take place under the watch of expert instructors and their team of assistants. Trainers can alter each workout to best suit a student’s wellness goals and level of fitness, while working around restrictive issues such as injuries and cement socks.

The ghost hunters behind S.I.G.H.T. of Ohio aren't really hunters in the traditional sense; they're more like good samaritans who do their good deeds on the astral plane. They believe that unexplained phenomenon such as floating lights or slamming doors are caused by deceased spirits chained to the earth by anger, confusion, or hunger for one last Pringle. No matter the root cause, the ghost hunters provide relief, documenting these energies through photographs and audio recordings and resolving the entities' issues with the help of Laura Lyn, a psychic medium.

Led by a trio of doctors who share a deep knowledge of the body's inner workings and a single goal of relieving their patients' pains, Stow-Kent Chiropractic treats injuries and spinal conditions with safe and minimally invasive methods. The doctors also share a passion for individualized care; before mending spines with adjustments, decompression treatments, and FlexBand rehab sessions, they carefully examine each patient's nervous system and mood ring to determine which services will work most effectively. The center's team of licensed massage therapists similarly seeks out and targets individual aches with trigger-point massages that dissipate pain at its source with isolated pressure.
