FREE Personal Training, FIT Camp and the 2nd Annual Glory and Food, Client Revenge Trainer Challenge

Food For Fitness Day is October 5, 2010

food for fit2010 2nd Annual Glory and Food, Client Revenge Trainer ChallengeThe demand for food at the Red Deer Food Bank is always high, last year we launched a campaign to do our part and try to put a dent in that problem. This idea wass the result of an article published in the Red Deer Advocate in early 2009 it read…

In April, 842 adults came in for food, compared with 410 adults in April 2008. Executive director Fred Scaife said he’s never before seen such a huge increase in demand. “This being our 25th year, I’ve reviewed a lot of stats. I’ve never seen 105 per cent increase,” Scaife said. The recession has also hit the food bank hard and resources are being stretched, Scaife said. “We’re making some adjustments to make sure our food supplies will last as long as they can. This is a tough time for us.” All around the province local food banks are reporting major increases in usage and major shortfalls in supplies.  

We can all do our small part to help out our great community, after all that’s what makes Red Deer such a great place to live; it really is a small town big city. It’s with this in mind we’re designating Tuesday, October 5, 2010 as the 2nd Annual Food For Fitness day!

Massage Therapy Overhaul

February 12, 2010 By Cabel McElderry Leave a Comment

massage Massage Therapy Overhaul

Scroll to the bottom to see how massage therapy has changed at One-to-1 Fitness!

Massage therapy is a very important aspect of your personal health and fitness program. Experts estimate that as much as 90% of disease is related to the effects of stress. (Physiological, physical and emotional) When combined with exercise and balanced consistent nutrition massage therapy can have a very dramatic effect on the reduction of stress of all kinds. Additionally, it has been well documented that specific physiological and chemical changes occur within the body following a massage treatment.

Some of the most common and immediate results of massage therapy include:

  • Alleviation of chronic pain and an increased range of motion.
  • Dramatic short term improvement to posture when combined with individualized exercise.
  • A strengthened immune system through the stimulation of lymph flow.
  • Significant increased physical performance in any activity.
  • Increased health of the body’s largest organ, your skin.
  • Increased joint health, stability and flexibility.
  • Relief from symptoms of depression and anxiety.
  • Promoting regeneration and healing, injuries heal with less scar tissue or stretch marks.
  • Improving circulation by enhancing blood flow.
  • Significant increase to weight loss and metabolic rate by encouraging hormonal cascade.
  • Reduction of post surgery swelling.
  • Relieve headaches and many forms of pain by encouraging endorphin release.

Research continues to show enormous benefit to the regular use of massage therapy and the medical community is beginning to actively embrace and promote its use. Below are more examples of situations where massage therapy has had a profound impact.

  • No surprise, arthritis sufferers report a reduction in aches, pains and stiffness when regular massage therapy has been implemented.
  • Asthmatics show better pulmonary function and increased peak air flow.
  • Burn patients report that pain, itching and anxiety subside faster with regular massage therapy.
  • High blood pressure patients have shown decreases in diastolic blood pressure and stress hormones.
  • Women experiencing PMS have shown less water retention and cramping with regular massage.

Compliment your health and wellness even further with the synergism of Far Infrared Therapy.

One of the fastest growing health therapies in North America, Far Infrared Therapy (FIR) has strong synergism with the effects of exercise and massage therapy.

Far Infrared therapy expands capillaries which stimulates increased blood flow, regeneration, circulation and oxygenation. A powerful compliment to the similar effects from exercise and massage therapy.

An excellent method of detoxification. Scientists in Japan report that in the FIR treatment of clogged capillary vessels initiates the start of a process to dissolve hidden toxins. Far Infrared thereby promotes elimination of fats, chemicals and toxins from the blood: Poisons, carcinogenic heavy metals – toxic substances from food processing – lactic acid, free fatty acids, and subcutaneous fat associated with aging and fatigue – excess sodium associated with hypertension – and uric acid which causes pain. Furthermore, if sebaceous glands are activated, accumulated cosmetics in pores can be eliminated through the skin (sweat and oil glands) rather than by the kidneys. FIR also promotes the killing of many pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.

Far Infrared stimulates enzyme activity and metabolism. One hour in the FIR cabin burns more than 900 calories by raising the metabolism and body temperature. In addition to burning fat calories FIR light waves have also been shown to break down cellulite.

A strong synergism also exists between exercise, massage and FIR therapy in the rebuilding of injured tissue. This is accomplished by having a positive effect on the fibroblasts (connective tissue cells necessary for the repair of injury). Furthermore, it increases growth of cells, DNA syntheses, and protein synthesis all necessary during tissue repair and regeneration. Excellent for healing burns, scar tissue and skin problems.

By stimulating increased production of white blood cells (leukocytes), Far Infrared strengthens the Immune system with its direct effect on the bone marrow and killer T-cells of the thymus.

Far Infrared therapy will further enhance cardiovascular fitness without additional cardio exercise. This occurs as an increase in heart rate and cardiac output and a decrease of diastolic blood pressure. Extensive research by NASA in the early 1980′s led to the conclusion that far infrared stimulation of cardiovascular function would be the ideal way to maintain cardiovascular conditioning in American astronauts during long space flight.

One-to-1 Fitness now offers early morning and evening massage appointments. Get in for a treatment before or after work with ease with booking starting at 6AM!

If you read the information above you no doubt see the value in regular massage and FIR therapy. Not only does One-to-1 Fitness now have the best massage availability we also have the best rates.

  • 30 minute treatments for less than $32.00 and full hour treatments for less than $50.00!

  • Infrared Therapy for as little as $14.00/month!

Online booking coming soon!

Tammy Cunnington – International Wheelchair Athlete

February 3, 2010 By Cabel McElderry Leave a Comment

Tamrace1 300x184 Tammy Cunnington International Wheelchair AthleteTammy Cunnington is an international wheelchair athlete competing in triathlons and handcycle racing.  She was injured when she was six years old in an incredible accident where she was actually hit by an airplane! Tammy also downhill sit-skis, kayaks, boxes and participates in any other sport or activity that she can try, showing that the only impossibilities are the ones we create for ourselves.  By sharing her story she wishes to remind others that any obstacle can be overcome with some hard work and that the benefits are 100% worth it every single time!

You will be inspired!

When: Tuesday, March 2, 2010

Time: 7:30-9:00 PM

Where: One-to-1 Fitness – Group Exercise Room – 5580-45st

Cost: FREE

Space is limited, you may register online through our client login (Guests follow the prompts to create an account) or by calling 403-341-4041

  • In her presentation she will discuss her incredible accident, painstaking recovery and subsequent rehabilitation. 
  • She will explain the obstacles she had to overcome from the first day of her injury up until, and even including, today.
  • She will inspire you as she explains how the rewards of choosing to overcome those obstacles are worth all the effort. 
  • She will describe what can be accomplished in life once the choice is made to do it, not just in fitness but in others areas of their life too.  It may sound cliché but life is too short to spend it on the sidelines, the only place to live is right in the action.

Tammy’s One-to-1 Fitness Experience…

Tamrace2 Tammy Cunnington International Wheelchair Athlete“I began training at One-1-Fitness in the spring of 2008.  At this point I had been training on my own for a few years and competing in sprint distances races but I was not improving.  Every year was the same thing, my speeds were the same, I could only lift the same weight, and my overall fitness was the same.  I turned to One-1-Fitness for help.  The team there has been super supportive and hugely helpful to me.  With the work they put me through I was finally able to achieve my goal of jumping from sprint distance to Olympic distance.  Up until joining One-1-Fitness this goal had eluded me.  The best part is that not only can I compete in an Olympic distance triathlon I can do it without suffering or struggling, I can finish strong.  My strength has increased so much and now I can climb almost any hill on my hand cycle.  In the past I could only register in races that were relatively flat because I was afraid I would not be able to climb the hills.  Now, I actively seek hills to train on to see if I can climb them and I find flat races to be unchallenging.  The strength increase has also really improved my skiing ability, now I actually downhill ski rather than downhill crash.  My injury rate has decreased and my km/hr has increased.  The strong work ethic and positive attitude of the team at One-1-Fitness has helped me reach my goals and I know they will continue to help me achieve the even tougher goals I have set for the future.”

One-to-1 Fitness Reaching For Over 19,000ft.

January 25, 2010 By Cabel McElderry Leave a Comment

My mother always said I should aim high and reach for new heights; this might not have been what she had in mind… 

kilifront One to 1 Fitness Reaching For Over 19,000ft.

It`s hard to believe that in just six weeks from now I will leave everything familiar behind and embark on what will undoubtedly be one of the greatest adventures I`ve ever experienced. I will travel half way around the world, I will truly been an outsider, if that alone isn`t enough I will join a small team of committed individuals I`ve never met on a six day trek through jungle, desert, snow and ice. We will walk 100 kilometres, experience a 50 degree temperature change and climb to nearly 6000 metres. A daunting task for a guy who hasn`t slept in a tent for nearly a decade, never been in a sleeping bag below zero, and has no idea what it`s like to hike for miles or what oxygen deprivation is like. To say that I am intimidated by this coming experience and uncomfortable about not knowing what to expect is an understatement. Those fears however, pale in comparison to what it must be like to live each day with real fears of death and disease from things like typhoid, cholera, and E. Coli. These forms of illness are practically unimaginable for you and I. Or to think of how laborious it must be to carry water for miles every day for your family. Maybe on summit day the effects of high elevation will allow me to relate as I carry my 30lb, ergonomically designed to fit totally comfortable, day pack up those final steps, but then probably not really.

kili One to 1 Fitness Reaching For Over 19,000ft.

Looking forward to this view on March 1, 2010

On March 1, 2010 my adventure begins. As a member of a 30 person team I will trek up the slopes of mount Kilimanjaro, Africa`s tallest peak. Collectively we will face this challenge in tribute to those that live with real fears and even more real daily challenges to maintain the most basic quality of life. Hopefully by now you are both fascinated and curious why myself, and 29 others like me, would travel half way around the globe to participate in something they never dreamed of doing. As it was with that same curiosity that One-to-1 Fitness client and local climb participant Glenn Moore inspired me to join this adventure and raised my awareness to an organization called The Water School. 

The Water School is a Canadian based organization that has a mission to share a very amazingly simple, inexpensive, and practical method of providing safe, clean water for the developing world. SODIS is a method of solar disinfection that requires only a simple plastic bottle, a piece of tin and some sunshine. Simple items that we throw in the garbage every single day can completely change the life of 100s, 1000s, likely millions. Living in Red Deer it`s difficult to imagine having to walk to Innisfail to fetch a pail of hopefully clean drinking water from a basic well each day, in fact just imagine going 24 hours without being able to turn on a faucet of any kind or flush a toilet, our way of life would seemingly cease to exist. If you are as interested as I was to know more about The Water School and SODIS visit www.thewaterschool.org. If you would like to know more about our Kilimanjaro climb or sponsor me in this crazy adventure please visit www.kili2010.com/cabel-mcelderry. 

See for yourself how we`ve been training for Kilimanjaro thanks to One-to-1 Fitness trainer Josh Neufeld. Kilimanjaro Training Program 

I challenge you… 

…to count how many times you turn on the faucet or flush a toilet in 24 hours. 

…I challenge you to count how many times you actively worry about dangerous bacteria or pathogens in any beverage you consume tomorrow. 

Do you think we take clean water for granted? I hope you’ll support my fundraising efforts at www.kili2010.com/cabel-mcelderry
