"I Lost It in the Pool"
Many of our members joined WV Health Club to lose weight and tone up. The last place they thought would help them was our pool. After working our on our state of the art equipment, they would take a dip in our indoor pool to 'cool down'. What most people don't realize, is 1 hour of swimming actually burns more calories than walking for 1 hour on the treadmill. One of our members showed a dramatic change in body fat in a couple of months. When she was asked how did you lose the weight she said,  "I lost it in the pool".

We spared no expense when creating, what we consider, the perfect aquatic environment. The benefits from each will help you look and feel better with each use.

  

 Fitness:

• Who uses a personal trainer?
  The role of the personal trainer is changing. It used to be that celebrities and wealthy individuals were the only people that used personal trainers. The stereotype of a personal trainer used to be that of a big body builder. Today the personal trainer is a highly skilled professional that has been educated and certified to work with various types of clients. Children as young as 7 years old, 80 year old men and women, obese adults, athletes, cancer recovery patients, and adults with diseases all benefit from working with personal trainers. Clients are using personal trainers for: fat loss, weight gain, flexibility, improve posture, alleviate stress, increase energy, rehab an injury, and improve quickness, general health benefits. 
   
• What exactly does a personal trainer do?
  At WV Health Club, our personal trainers are highly skilled and nationally certified, and have many roles when working with clients. Your personal trainer will serve as a coach, teacher and motivator. It is the personal trainer's job to assess your current physical and mental state, establish very specific goals, design an individualized program, and do what ever it takes to keep you on track towards getting results. 
  
   
• Can I workout every day?
  You can, however your body needs rest. Remember, when you strength train, your muscles grow when you are at home, resting. It is recommended, if you are new to exercise to start twice a week at 20 minutes at a time, gradually increasing the time to 3 times a week at no more than 45 minutes. Generally, 4 times a week is sufficient to gain muscle strength.
  
   
• How long does it take see results?
  You may begin to see results in the first 4-8 weeks. This depends in large part to your nutrition. You can work out as hard as you'd like. If you do not eat right, you will not get far. 
  
   
• I only eat when I have time, and I'm not seeing good results, even though I eat clean?
  Your body's metabolism increases each time you eat! Your metabolic rate will increase with each meal. When you don't eat, your metabolism slows down because it has nothing to do! You are not feeding your body. If you eat every 3-4 hours, not only are you keeping your blood sugar even, avoiding crashing, you are constantly spiking your metabolism!
  
   
• Can't I just do cardio and lose fat?
  This is dangerous because too much cardio can eat away at muscle tissue, not good! Cardio is great for your heart and overall well being. However, to maximize your calorie burning, you need muscle! Muscle is the furnace that burns body fat, continuously! So if you enjoy cardio, that's fine, just don't overdo it, and for that matter, don't over do anything!
