FITNESS KNOWLEDGES has
developed from grade school
fo graduate fevel in the past
decade, But awareness of
health and exercise isn't
always the key to getting into
shape. Bad habits and ambi-
valence will kill the best
intentions of even the most
physically active adults.

The major solution, according
to Gold's Gym owner Roy
Baumgartner, is a fitness facility
so equipped and user-friendly, it
will entice even die-hard fitness
rebels.

His vision of the ultimate gym
is filled with the most innovative,
highly effective equipment. com-
bined with very specialized. per-
sonal services in an atmosphere so
pumped with enthusiasm you can’t
help but become motivated. It
calers 10 everyone and intimidates
no one,

Baumgartner is unveiling this
gym ina massive new 20,000 sq.
ft. location in early July behind
Capilano Mall at 125-949 West
Third St.

The two-level co-ed complex
— one of over 500 Gold's Gyms
international locations — includes
a mezzanine floor overlooking the
rest of the workout area and a
compictely separate women's gym
with additional rooms for consul-
lants, trainers, therapists, coun-
selors, aestheticians, childmind-
ing, a pro shop, cappuccino/juice
bar and lounge. ;

Gold's is paying special atten-
tion to Women’s needs.

Baumgartner explains, “We've
learned that most women want a
completely separate entrance,
changeroom/washroom and coun-
selling area so that they don’t have
fo pass by men when they are jn
aerobic gear or don't have makeup
on.

Aerobic classes will be offered
both as co-ed and exclusively for
women. Weights asd equipment in
this area are designed specifically
for women.”

The co-ed facility boasts: state:
of-the-art Hammer Strenuth fit
ness machines —— the newest tech-
nology on the market — as well as
unequalled cardio equipment
including treadmills, stairclimbers,
windracer bikes, lifecyceles,
recumbent bikes and rowing
machines.

Yet, a fitness routine shouldn't
stop after using the equipment. it
should start there.

According to Baumgartner,
“There are three important factors

_in successful fitness: training,

nutrition and rest. [Ff one is out of
syne, the others cant work proper-
ly.

His idea is to educate individ-
ual members about the appropriate
type and amaunt of each.

A good training program
emphasizes motivation and proper
instruction as well as good equip-
ment.

Personal trainer will be as com-
mon as workout partners in the
future, and Gold’s has a staff of
them ready.

Consultants will Keep in touch
with every member on a monthly

is to encourage. motivate and
chart their progress.

Gold's nutritionists and well-
ness directors teach that when and
how you cat is just as important as
what you eat, that everybody
needs to supplement with vitamins
and minerals, and simple things
such as drinking water or getting
proper amounts of protein can
mike all of the difference.

“Rest” refers to care und well-
ness of the body and encompasses
everything from relaxing each
muscle for 48 hours to mend
before retraining, to having a mas-
sage or a facial, consulting with
the in-house chiropractor or phys-
iotherapist or even relaxing in a
tanning bed. :

The final step is looking the
part.

The new proshop will feature a
greater selection of clothing with
the Gold's Gym Jogo, which is the
second largest-selling T-shirt logo
in North America surpassed only
by The Hard Rock Cafe.

A full line of aerobics gear,
with designed and custom-fitted
by Mary Berekowski for the
Bereskins label, will also be sold.
