Fitness & Nutrition

Getting and staying healthy has never been easier.... or more convenient.

We are a pharmacy in a gym... Or, if you look at it from a different perspective, we are a gym in a pharmacy. Either way, by combining the two, we take a holistic approach to making you happier and healthier - everything from prescriptions and vitamins to nutrition and exercise.

Fitness & Exercise

Has your doctor ever told you that you need to start exercising? Or, has the physical therapist signed off on your release but said you need to continue to exercise?

If so, we bet you didn't know where to start. Don't worry. You're not alone. We'll not just help you start your fitness journey, but more importantly, we'll be there with you every step of the way so you can enjoy the benefits of the true fountain of youth - exercise.

We're not only connected directly to a gym that offers a wide variety of equipment and classes that's available 24 hours per day, but we also offer weight loss programs, disease-specific programs for diabetes, and personal training from a certified instructor. And best of all, we work with all kinds of patients, even those who have never stepped foot in a gym before or feel like they're too old or new to exercise. If you're looking to lose weight, get off some of your medications, or just feel a little healthier, let us help! Stop by the pharmacy today, and we can get you started.

Nutrition

Did you know that most of the "diseases" we suffer from today are considered lifestyle diseases? High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and many inflammatory diseases can be improved by eating healthier. And by healthier, that doesn't mean just eating salads, apples, and celery sticks. Some of the small, simple changes we coach can have a tremendous impact on your health without negatively affecting your social life. Yes, that means you can still drink that beer this weekend or have that cupcake at your kid's birthday party.

But first, let us be very specific. We are NOT dieticians. We don't write meal plans. We can't "cure" your disease. What we do do is coach you on learning the skills to help you eat healthier. We talk about the what and the why, but we really focus on the how. Eating healthy is really no different than learning to play golf or the piano. It just takes an understanding of the skills needed, some daily practice, and a good coach to motivate you along the way.

Don't believe us? Try this. Here are a list of foods: apple, french fries, lean chicken breast, pizza, cookies, cake, a salad. Now circle the "healthy" foods. See, you already know what to eat. You don't need a meal plan. You know what food is healthy and what food isn't. Your problem is the same problem someone brand new to golf has - How DO I eat healthier? Said in another way, what skills do I need to practice to eat healthier? That's where we can help. Stop by the pharmacy today and ask about our nutrition coaching.
