Medical Fitness Week

Medical Fitness Week, the second full week of May, is an opportunity for you to motivate your members to expand their use of your facility! Pick a week in May, National Physical Fitness & Sports Month, and get your community moving. We looked at the 6 Pillars of Lifestyle Medicine from our Strategic Partner, the American College of Lifestyle Medicine:

Take a pillar for each day of the week and encourage your members to try something new at your facility such as a group exercise class they've never tried; have a conversation with the in-house dietitian or nutritionist or health coach; try a yoga or meditation class; get a massage; introduce yourself to a staff member; cook with a new veggie; read nutrition labels for the week to eliminate toxins, etc. 

Get a little creative! Make a bingo card that they check off and have a raffle of the completed cards. Most of all...celebrate a healthy lifestyle while encouraging your members to break out of their comfort zone and try something new!

The best things in life are often waiting for you at the exit ramp of your comfort zone. -Karen Salmonsohn
