“We reviewed dozens of on-demand platforms and selected FLEX by FitnessOnDemand for its sheer diversity of leading global and U.K. fitness programming, its omnichannel delivery across web and app channels and especially its content management platform” – Duncan Jefford, director, Everyone Active.

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB)
September 01, 2020

FitnessOnDemand, the leader in premium, on-demand, curated fitness content from the world’s greatest fitness brands, just signed a deal to make the company’s portfolio of classes and workouts available to Everyone Active’s UK member base of 500,000 users. The agreement with leading leisure operator, Everyone Active in the United Kingdom, is one of the largest content subscription agreements made by FOD to date and is part of the company’s ongoing growth in overseas markets that include the United Kingdom and Australia.

As part of Everyone Active’s Everyone On Demand product, the new agreement makes 1,000 fitness classes, workouts and wellness content available to both Everyone Active existing and new members via mobile app. All content is entirely free, funded by Everyone Active and provided via FitnessOnDemand’s streaming FLEX product.

The move comes as part of Everyone Active’s commitment to source the best on-demand content to complement onsite classes at every physical center location. In this way no member has to make a choice between the gym, and their favorite on-demand session when returning, post lockdown. Classes and workouts include offered content from top fitness gurus and internationally acclaimed brands such as Jillian Michaels, SH1FT, Sweat Factor and Sleek Technique among many others. Members can gain instant access to specific instructor led classes and workouts that include HIIT workouts, core programs, yoga, stretch, cycling and many more. Members can access via mobile app wherever they seek to work out or at any of the 190 locations.

“Everyone Active strives to be at the forefront of the leisure market here in the UK,”

says Duncan Jefford, director, Everyone Active. “We reviewed dozens of on-demand platforms and selected FLEX by FitnessOnDemand for its sheer diversity of leading global and U.K. fitness programming, its omnichannel delivery across web and app channels and especially its content management platform. This, particularly, provides incredibly useful usage statistics and other data points that help us manage our member programming and understand usage trends across our locations. That functionality really stood out to us as we considered partners.”

FitnessOnDemand’s FLEX product and portfolio is part of an effort by Everyone Active to bring the right, flexible and convenient fitness content and classes to their vast membership during uncertain times when pandemic-concerns and both changing member usage patterns and needs continue to evolve. FLEX enables club operators to give all, or just select, members, based on their membership type, access to hundreds of curated classes, specific workouts, stretches, cool downs and wellness content from around the world. FLEX can be instantly and easily added to any existing FitnessOnDemand content management program.

“We started work on our FLEX product as far back as early 2019 and launched it coincidentally at a time this year when clubs of all sizes really turned up the dial on their member on-demand and digital content offerings,” says Armin Krienke, director business development, FitnessOnDemand. “This agreement with Everyone Active represents a trend we’re seeing in our business: the continued growth in our international client base but also larger, enterprise-scale introductions of FLEX that bring the product’s benefits to truly massive and geographically diverse member locations.”

MayaVate trains players to self-train and provides incentives for successful, repeated use of the training program.

CHICAGO (PRWEB)
September 01, 2020

Earlier today, MayaVate, launched a web-based mobile training and conditioning application designed to reduce the risk of ACL injuries in school-aged athletes. The program is comprised of static and dynamic plyometric training exercises to increase mobility and stability of the knee.

Research has proven that participation in stretching courses can reduce the possibility of an ACL injury in play by about 72%. After implementing these stretching courses at many Chicago public schools in basketball and soccer, researchers found participation in them during warm-ups reduced ACL tears by 80%, knee sprains by 70%, and ankle sprains by 62%.

Responding to these remarkable statistics, Maya, the creator of the MayaVate application, posed the question: why is this limited to school courses? Maya then set out to create the solution. MayaVate trains players to self-train and provides incentives for successful, repeated use of the training program. So rather than training coaches to teach a course that the school MayaVate is a mobile application that allows your stretching program to be wherever you are.

MayaVate is a free mobile instructional video application teaching you not only how to stretch your ACL correctly but also to motivate athletes to stretch every time before practice or play. MayaVate is working to spread awareness of ACL injuries in adolescent volleyball play; by making the exercises something that teams and individuals want to participate in. Making the exercise video into a mobile application means that they will be more accessible to a broader range of kids and will be a fun way to complete the stretches. “As a volleyball player, I have found that ACL injuries can be career-changing and can be reduced by simply stretching before practice or play,” Maya shared. “MayaVate makes stretching something fun and that you want to accomplish and be a part of.”

To utilize this free application, visit App.MayaVate.com.

The application exercises are based on a program developed and shared by the Santa Monica Institute of Sports Medicine to help spread awareness and reduce the risk of knee injuries in sports.

“As Americans look for ways to move around safely, it’s communities and businesses offering solutions that enable people to more easily go places by bike.” – Bill Nesper, Executive Director, League of American Bicyclists

FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)
August 31, 2020

The League of American Bicyclists recognized Thermo Fisher Scientific with a Gold Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB) award, earning it a place alongside over 1,400 businesses across the country contributing to the movement to build a more Bicycle Friendly America. Thermo Fisher Scientific is the first Gold BFB in Frederick County and one of ten Gold BFB in the State of Maryland. There are over 240 Gold BFB across the US.

“Since Thermo Fisher Scientific applied for the Bicycle Friendly Business award in February 2020, much has changed across the country,” said Bill Nesper, executive director of the League of American Bicyclists. “What hasn’t changed is the commitment of our Bicycle Friendly Business award winners to the health and well being of their employees, customers, and community through the promotion and encouragement of bicycling as a means of transportation, fun, and fitness.”

Thermo Fisher Scientific joins 75 other new and renewing BFBs in the League’s Spring 2020 round of business awards, which includes government agencies, Fortune 500 companies, bike shops, and other employers across industries, all united in a commitment to transform American workplaces to be more welcoming to customers and employees who bike. The Bicycle Friendly Business award recognizes an organization’s contributions over months and years to the movement to build a Bicycle Friendly America for everyone.

“As Americans look for ways to move around safely, it’s communities and businesses offering solutions that enable people to more easily go places by bike,” said Nesper. “We know more people are biking during the pandemic and we anticipate more Americans will rely on biking to work as a safe, socially distant method of transportation as employees go back to work. Thanks to the leadership of organizations like Thermo Fisher Scientific, more people will have the opportunity to choose to bike.”

Thermo Fisher Scientific encourages bicycling as an easy option for transportation and provides amenities such as Thermo Fisher Scientific bikeshare bikes, indoor/outdoor bicycle racks, and shower facilities. In addition, Thermo Fisher Scientific hosts a wide range of activities such as bike maintenance workshops, youth bike safety education workshops, corporate bike challenges, bike collection/donation, lunch bike rides, and adventure cycling trips. To encourage ridership, Thermo Fisher Scientific offers incentives such as gift cards, customized sport shirts, Nalgene water bottles, and highly prized Thermo Fisher Scientific cycling jerseys. Finally, Thermo Fisher Scientific has been actively engaged with local government officials and bicycle advocates to make the City of Frederick and Frederick County a more bike-friendly region.

Bill Turner, the site director at Thermo Fisher Scientific Frederick, remarked “The Frederick Cycling Leadership Team has done a really great job inspiring our staff to get out and ride including a fun multi-day ride on the Great Allegheny Passage, lively bike flash mobs at local restaurants, dedicated corporate sponsorship of Tour de Frederick and the competitive annual Bike To Work Day ride. Though we slowed a bit this year due to COVID-19, we are really looking forward to getting even more people on bikes next year.”

As part of the BFB network, Thermo Fisher Scientific will have access to a variety of tools and technical assistance from the League to become even more welcoming to people who bike. When employees bike, great things happen like increased staff morale and productivity, increased connectedness to the Frederick community, decreased carbon footprint, reduced healthcare costs, and a fun and healthy work culture.

People want better preventive care and with that, they also want to be the best version of themselves. We provide the means for that

WASHINGTON (PRWEB)
August 28, 2020

APMI Wellness Center is excited to announce the launch of their state-of-the-art Wellness Center in Chevy Chase, Maryland. In this day and age, there are a growing number of Americans who are actively seeking preventive healthcare and wellness because they want to stay healthy and recover from injury and illness more quickly. In response, one Maryland practitioner is seeking to support patients who want to more actively take charge of their own healthcare and wellness.

Patients Seeking Better Preventive Healthcare

In a recent 2019 study, “Health Care Industry Insights: Why the Use of Preventive Services Is Still Low,” the author’s compiled data from 2014 revealing that “60% of adult Americans had at least one chronic disease or condition, and 42% had multiple diseases.” While those numbers are alarming, health trends indicate that institutionalized standards of care will likely be slow to shift. Meanwhile, chronic illness is burdensome and significantly reduces the quality of life for patients and for their families. This reality has led many patients to take charge of their own healthcare and wellness. Not only do patients want to prevent illness, they want better solutions for recovering from injury and illness more quickly.

Reza Ghorbani, MD, ABIPP, FIPP based in Chevy Chase, Maryland, is providing patients a better means for managing their own health. As a Harvard-trained author, inventor and board certified Interventional Pain Management Specialist, Dr. Ghorbani recognizes a clear need for better preventive care. He explains, “I was seeing a lot of people that are not necessarily sick, but want to be healthy. I have also treated numerous patients suffering from various injuries or illnesses that upon recovery want better post-injury preventive care.” Dr. Ghorbani put his vision into action by building APMI Wellness Center, a state-of-the-art health and wellness center in Chevy Chase Maryland.

About Dr. Reza Ghorbani

Dr. Ghorbani is the President and Medical Director of the Advanced Pain Medicine Institute in the Greater Washington, D.C. area. He is also the Founder and CEO of APMI Orthopaedics, Sports Health & Regenerative Medicine as well as Founder and CEO of APMI Physical Therapy and Fitness Center and Co-founder, CEO and Medical Director of Surgcenter of Greenbelt, LLC. As a leading practitioner in his field, Dr. Ghorbani has devoted his entire career to helping patients overcome pain to enable a better quality of life.

About APMI Wellness Center

“I really wanted to create something totally new” explains Dr. Ghorbani. The vision of Dr. Reza Ghorbani’s APMI Wellness Center came to fruition as a state-of-the-art health and wellness center serving Chevy Chase and its surrounding communities, including Bethesda, Potomac & Washington D.C. In creating APMI Wellness Center, Dr. Ghorbani brought in numerous expert practitioners and service providers with the goal of offering an extensive selection of services all under one roof. Notable service providers include APMI Orthopaedics, Sports Health & Regenerative Medicine, Capital Cryo, Avesta Ketamine and Wellness, Janus Medical Spa, The Organic Spa, The Skin Strategists, and much more.

One of the leading services at APMI Wellness Center is whole body cryotherapy. Cryotherapy treatments are a popular reparative and rejuvenating treatment that uses ultra-cold temperatures to stimulate the body’s metabolism, release endorphins and enhance circulation for tighter skin and better energy.

“Cryotherapy is the perfect choice for anyone who wants a quick treatment that delivers instant benefits they can feel”, says Dr. Ghorbani, “From a lift in energy levels and mood to supporting skin tightening and recovery, it’s a safe, natural option for all patients, both men and women”.

Peter Kaminskas, Owner/Operator of Capital Cryo explains, “When Dr. Ghorbani approached me about incorporating Capital Cryo into the wellness center, I was impressed with his overall vision and immediately knew we wanted to part of the wellness center. Our recovery and wellness treatments, whether it’s through cryotherapy or infrared sauna, are natural complements to the other services offered at APMI. We are thrilled to be part of a team of excellent professionals.”

“With the creation of the wellness center” notes Dr. Ghorbani, “we really wanted to bring IV vitamin infusions into the picture too, so we brought in Dr. Ladan Eshkevari of Avesta Ketamine and Wellness Center.”

Dr. Eshkevari explains, “Most people suffer from underlying inflammation, whether due to over exertion in exercising or exposure to environmental factors. The IV vitamins and the individual mixtures we provide at the center are customized to every individual’s needs. Most patient’s report feeling energetic, hydrated and improved mental clarity.”

In addition to cyrotheraphy and IV vitamin infusions, APMI Wellness offers an extensive selection of treatments and services including acupuncture, body sculpting, cryofacials, Dexa body scan, facials, fillers, fitness, hair restoration, infrared sauna, laser skin resurfacing, laser hair removal, massage therapy, private yoga, PRP, stem cell therapy, sunless spray tanning, varicose vein removal, waxing and more.

Dr. Ghorbani explains, “People want better preventive care and with that, they also want to be the best version of themselves. We provide the means for that.” For example, APMI Wellness Center offers other signature services such as body sculpting, laser skin resurfacing, and laser hair removal performed by leading provider Janus Medical Spa.

Dr. Robert Rosenbaum, owner of Janus Medical Spa explains that attentive client care is a founding tenet at APMI Wellness Center. “We enjoy meeting and caring for our neighbors and friends at APMI. Our clients are a joy to serve and we look forward to continuing to grow our capacity to integrate care services so they will find us a convenient and trusted source of health and wellness information.”
