Alloy Personal Training Twenty Mile Road

When you gain healthy habits, you might lose bad ones, too. For instance, shorty after joining Alloy, you will no longer:

1. Wing It. Alloy provides personal training, so you never have to figure out what to do, how many reps, how much resistance, etc. Our coaches are experts and they take the time to learn about your goals and needs to tailor each workout to your needs.

2. Put It Off. How many times have you said, “I’ll go workout tomorrow” and then found another reason to delay it again. When you schedule your Alloy sessions with people who are happy to see you and root for your success, you have all the motivation you need to show up.

3. Struggle with Frustration. Yes, you’ll work hard, but you won’t feel like it’s all for nothing. We’ll show you how fitness means more than your weight. You’ll learn how to measure success in your real life not just in the gym. And you’ll end each session feeling a sense of accomplishment.

Could you ask for three better take-aways than these? Call us today for your free initial consultation, and let’s get you going.

If you’re already a member, you know all this is true! Tell a friend or bring one.

Whatever sport or outdoor activity you love, the strength, endurance and flexibility you build at Alloy will help you enjoy it more and for longer.

As much of the nation cycles through the end of cold winter months, think about it. If you like to golf, play tennis, hike, garden (yes, gardening – try it if you think we’re kidding)… or just about anything else, time spent here will help you enjoy yourself more out there.

Golfers: Power Starts in the Gym

Just look at golf on TV these days. PGA pros look more like athletes than ever, and that's no accident. They've figured out that strength and flexibility translate directly to distance, accuracy and fewer aches after 18 holes.

The same is true at every level. Alloy's workouts build core strength, mobility and stability in the muscles that matter most for golf — your abdomen, back, hips and glutes.

That means you hit the ball farther and straighter, your body feels better, and your score comes down.

Tennis: The Sport That Loves You Back

Tennis has long been called "The Sport of a Lifetime" for good reason. The Mayo Clinic reported it can add almost a decade to your life. That’s more than cycling, swimming or running.

The speed, strength and mobility you build at Alloy translates directly to better performance and more fun on the court, whether you're playing competitively or just rallying with friends.

We train you with movements like squats, lunches, twists, and other actions that are similar to movements in tennis and other sports.

Running, pickleball, hiking, cycling — whatever gets you outside and moving, Alloy's personal training approach is designed to support it. We meet you where you are and build you up for what you love.

What’s the No. 1 secret to healthy living at any age?

It’s not a pill, powder, diet, or anything you can buy.

It’s consistency – nurturing healthy habits like exercising and eating right over time.

So, let’s focus on behaviors like these, instead.

1. Move Your Body
Exercise with us two or three times a week. Walk as much as possible. Avoid sitting for too long. The point is to move your body deliberately every day.

2. Eat Right
Limit your portions, get plenty of protein, and consume at least five servings of fruits and vegetables daily.

3. Hydrate
Many advise drinking half your body weight in ounces every day. And sodas, fruit juice, and alcohol don’t count.

4. Sleep
It gives our brains and bodies time to process, heal and build. We can’t manage stress or make good decisions if we’re not well-rested. Resistance training is a great way to help!

5. Get Regular Checkups
Your dental, vision, hearing, and physical exams are important. Don’t shrug them off.

6. Limit TV News and Social Media
You want to stay informed, but too much brings stress instead of enlightenment.

7. Socialize
Come to the gym (we’re all friends here), maintain any memberships in a house of worship, counseling program, neighborhood associations, etc. See and communicate with friends and family on a regular basis.

Want to live longer and better?

You might need to be sleeping more.

A new study from Oxford Academic found that only smoking has a worse impact on lifespan than sleeping less than seven hours a night. Insufficient sleep is worse than eating poorly, not exercising enough, and loneliness.

Sleep is crucial for heart, immune, and brain function. But a third of adult Americans don’t catch enough Zzzzs. Just 7% say they feel well-rested, with poor sleep leading to anxiety, which further increases poor sleep.

Keep to a sleep schedule. Stop looking at screens before bedtime. And keep your bedroom cool and dark.

Plus, fewer activities help promote sleep better than strength training.

Call us today for your free initial consultation. We’ll get you lifting fast and sleeping better.

You might already know that strength training improves balance. Now, a study says balance is also a predictor of longevity.

The “sitting-rising test” measures how easily you can sit down on the floor and stand back up without using your hands or knees.

You lose a point every time you do. A score below 8 (out of 10) has been linked to a higher risk of early death, according the The European Journal of Preventive Cardiology study published last month.

Try the sitting-rising test, or simply time how long you can stand on one foot. Less than 10 seconds might be cause for attention.

Staying strong and agile improves balance, which is linked to overall vitality. Regular exercise prevents falls, strengthens bones, and extends independence in countless ways.

Let us show you how much fun this can all be. Call today for your free initial consultation.

For Mariella Frostrup, menopause brought struggles with diet, exercise, weight and more.

“I realized I needed to go back to weight training,” says the Irish-Norwegian writer and TV presenter who is well-known in England. “The moment of truth was struggling to open one of those pull-top cans – I just didn’t have the muscle strength.”

We’ve known for years that regular exercise helps women manage many of the physical and mental effects of menopause, from mood swings to changes in body composition.

Now, recent studies and reports are adding nuance and insight into the how and why behind staying active in midlife and dividends that keep coming.

One study found that women may gain greater cardiovascular and longevity benefits from exercise than men, National Geographic says. Some studies suggest women experience significant reductions in all-cause mortality and heart disease risk with regular moderate activity.

For midlife women, consistent movement may offer strong protection for heart health during and after menopause.

And a wellness report in Flow Space summarized a 60-day program by Peloton and Respin Health, the menopause health company Halle Berry founded.

Participants followed structured strength and cardio programming and reported improvements across a range of symptoms, including energy and sleep.

These updates reinforce a steady message: Menopause doesn’t eliminate the value of exercise. Smart, varied, and sustainable movement is always important.

Frostrup, 62, has highlighted walking, yoga, weightlifting and more to maintain confidence and strength.

“Part of the problem with aging is that we have this cultural expectation that we’re just going to disintegrate,” she told Good Housekeeping UK. “Aim to do strength-based exercises … to maintain bone density and muscle mass."
