Most women might agree that when you feel better, you look better and when you look your best, you like yourself more. At least that’s what a lot of women I know say. And don’t we all want to feel and look our best? Is there a secret ingredient to staying motivated or even getting motivated to feel your best? How about carving out the time to make fitness, or even having fun a priority? What about simply being consistent and disciplined about a fitness lifestyle routine?
Whether it is losing weight, toning, staying fit or just keeping to a regular exercise routine, woman might also agree for one reason or another that motivation to look and feel your best ebbs and flows in life. If you lack time, or have tried and failed in the past, or simply allowed looking and feeling the best you can about yourself slip farther down the priority list, perhaps it will interest you to know you aren’t alone and that there is an alternative. Consider this:
What if you had a large group of like-minded women of all ages that wanted to come to a place uniquely designed to meet a woman’s need for exercise, fun, comradery and support? What if that place was open and welcoming to all women at any stage in the fitness cycle – whether you were just starting the journey or you have exercised regularly and enjoyed the spa and fitness club atmosphere for years? What if there was a place designed to encourage, support and provide you with unique, personalized means to meet your short and long-term fitness goals so that you could sustain the needed level of motivation to develop a fit and healthy lifestyle? Would that spark your interest, even awake and renew your hopes to feel and look great …and start being the best you can be?
Longevity Lady Fitness and Spa of Vero Beach is a uniquely designed club exclusively for woman. Longevity is more than just a health club – it is a ‘full-service facility where you can escape, relieve stress, make friends, and be yourself.’ More like a retreat. A facility that any woman can walk into dressed down or dolled-up and not feel subconscious about her age, body shape or appearance. Whether you want to work one to one with a personal fitness trainer, take a class, use the state of the art fitness equipment or simply relax and have fun… Longevity is offering an atmosphere of encouragement, fun and acceptance – something that bolsters almost any woman’s motivation level!
Richard Barattini, of Longevity Lady Fitness and Spa says, “There are many fine spas here in Vero Beach. Different spas focus on different things. We have a ladies club where a lady can come in on her terms. It is a comfort zone for ladies. No men – there aren’t even any men on staff here. And the energy that comes from these ladies… it is something to experience – they keep each other coming back. It’s a high, pleasant energy that ladies bring and share no matter what time of day it is”. Whatever your reason is for wanting to start a fitness routine or for continuing the journey to be fit, we might all agree that finding an encouraging environment that helps you feel accepted is a great place to be. “A change of attitude happens…people come in and it changes their attitude, they feel better about themselves simply by coming in” says Richard. So, if it is attitude and motivation that get us started and keep us going – next we can start to expect results.
Results to one person are not necessarily results to another and Longevity staff recognizes this. Longevity staff is tuned into all its members, not just a few. Longevity offers classes for just about anything from losing weight, to toning and firming…at a nominal fee so that ladies can come in and ‘try it’ – see if it will be beneficial before making a long term commitment.
Longevity Lady Fitness and Spa offers the first visit for free. “We frequently run specials, like 10 times for $10.00, so that ladies can come in and try it before making a commitment” states Richard. It’s just another way that Longevity offers a potential member the chance to try their fitness club on her terms. With classes ranging in various levels of intensity, for teens to seniors, Longevity offers Senior Fit, Yoga, Zumba, Latin dance aerobics, belly dancing, resistance training and toning, step aerobics, core training, weight training, Pilates and spinning. Signature series Life Fitness training equipment, Woodway treadmills, and state of the art cardio equipment are among some of club’s assets. The Spa offers a dry heat desert rock sauna, a Turkish steam room and a large hydro whirlpool. Oh! And, Boot camp? Absolutely! A lady’s boot camp. Done by ladies …for ladies.
Longevity also partners with several different businesses so that members may show their Longevity key-tag and receive a special member discount on purchases. Longevity hosts monthly seminars with local speakers about issues the members show interest in. Child care is offered to all members from 8-12:00 Monday thru Friday and Saturday from 9-12:30.
“What we hear from a lot of our members that have spa shopped is that different spas focus on different things. We focus on ladies and what they say they need and want and providing them with an environment to achieve that.” Are you interested in a fitness spa that feels like a retreat and can help you reach and maintain your lifelong fitness goals? Longevity has something for just about anyone along with plenty of encouragement and support – but only if you are a lady!
