Weight Management

People who are overweight or obese face an increased risk of weight-related health problems. Diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease are just a few of the conditions that have been linked to excessive weight. The management of one's weight is becoming more and more medically relevant to help people improve their level of fitness and prevent these health issues from occurring or worsening.

An in-depth, personalized client evaluation is available to every patient using a segmental analysis method to obtain the most comprehensive body composition information available. In addition to your weight, we can calculate your lean body mass, body fat, body mass index (BMI), percentage of body fat and more. This analysis is used to customize a weight loss and fitness plan that is exactly suited to each patient's needs.
