As Americans' health and fitness levels continue to decline, many of those in the worst shape are afraid
to go to a "regular" gym to improve their poor health. They somehow feel embarrassed and don't know how
to begin. For these individuals, boutique gyms that specialize in particular parts of population may be good
choices. These special gyms provide a more personal setting tor those returning to a healthy lifestyle or
starting a fitness program for the first time. Personal training and individualized attention are key features
of these new kinds of gyms.
Bulldog Fitness, a gym for kids only, is using the latest trend in video games that provide a workout to
engage their young members. Playstation2 Game Bikes, the Treadwall (a rock climbing wall that moves with
you), and DDR Dance Machines are customers' favorites.
Meanwhile, Irene Pastore of Senior Fit in New York city shows that "age is no excuse for ill-health." Her
boutique gym focuses on the health risks associated with sedentary living. Personal training programs are
designed specifically for seniors depending on their special needs.
"We feel that people that need the most guidance often don't know where to turn. If America is going to
change its current health decline, the public and healthcare industry needs to pay more attention to the unique
needs of customers," says Dr. Sal Arria, CEO and founder of the International Sports Science Association
(IS-SA). Dr. Arria claims that those returning to a fitness state should make certain that they choose a trainer
who holds a specialized certification that qualifies them to work with their individual area of need.
