Swamp Fitness Offers a Convenient Way to Get Health Results by Providing In-Home Exercise & Nutrition Coaching

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Personal Trainer Gainesville FL

Our best form of marketing is doing everything we can to provide convenience, and ultimately empower our clients to get health and fitness results!


GAINESVILLE, Fla. (PRWEB)

The founder of Swamp Fitness, Jarred Mussen, has been helping Alachua County residents get results by re-igniting their healthy habits for more than seven years. Many people want to improve their health and fitness results or get started on their health journey but are lacking the motivation, guidance, and accountability. This leaves many people putting off an exercise routine or healthy nutrition plan. Many Gainesville residents are challenged with finding time to consistently drive to the gym, let alone create an exercise and nutrition plan that is effective within their busy lifestyle.

Faced with greater time constraints from work, childcare, etc., Americans often skip out on exercise and turn to more convenient food options with lower nutritional values. Although not exercising and opting for unhealthy convenience foods both save time, they tend to leave people with less energy and a poor mood. The consequences of not establishing consistent exercise and healthy nutrition habits has many health risks and can have a major negative impact on our mental health which takes away from the important areas of our lives that are taking up our time.

In order to protect health and quality of life, many feel the need for a proactive solution to empower individuals to get effective health results such as working with a personal trainer Gainesville FL. Health experts recommend that adults should be getting at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. This task can be monumental to people who are struggling with losing weight, improving mood and energy, as well as preventing health conditions such as high blood pressure, depression, diabetes, and obesity. Many middle-aged individuals have an awakening after learning about the reality of their current health state from their doctor, causing them to take action with prioritizing their health in effort to make the most of life.

Hiring a personal trainer in Gainesville, FL that will travel to the clients’ home within the schedule that works best for the client’s lifestyle is very effective at not just getting the client their desired fitness results, but also establishing the sustainable routine habits that will help the client stay committed even after they finish their personal training program. The accountability of a fitness professional showing up to the client’s home ensures that they stay consistent with their exercise and nutrition program.

The company, Swamp Fitness has a team of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists and Certified Personal Trainers in Gainesville, FL who truly care about you and your health and have expertise with providing individually customized exercise prescription and nutritional coaching. Swamp Fitness matches you with the personal trainer and registered dietitian nutritionist that is the best fit for you based on your goals, personality, and preferred training style. Rather than having to carve out time to drive to the gym and come up with a plan, this company has been able to offer Gainesville personal training at your preferred location (such as your home) and within the availability that works best within your life. They understand the importance of your health and truly want you to live life to the fullest.

Swamp Fitness has these four core values at the essence of how they operate: Authenticity. Compassion. Responsibility. Progress. Their Gainesville personal training services are for people who need it most, those who you don’t see in the gym and are having major challenges with living a healthy lifestyle and getting the health and fitness results they want. Their message that they are trying to get out is that they are committed to helping Gainesville residents get health results in the comfort and convenience of their own home and within their availability.

Corstrata Announces Rafael Mazuz as New Senior Advisor

Leave a comment



SAVANNAH, Ga. (PRWEB)

Corstrata, Inc., a leading, tech-enabled, virtual wound management company, has announced the appointment of Rafael Mazuz as a Senior Advisor to the company. Mazuz is the Managing Director of Diligence Wound Care Global, the world’s leading wound care and regenerative medicine advisory firm, empowering executives, investors, and specialists to be confident in their wound care business decisions.

As a former corporate wound center executive, Mazuz brings deep industry knowledge combined with powerful wound care intelligence and a global network of experts. He advises the majority of top global wound care product brands and investors, serves on the boards of innovative wound-related startups, speaks at key industry events such as The European Wound Management Association (EWMA) conference and The Symposium on Advanced Wound Care (SAWC) and serves on the editorial advisory board of Today’s Wound Clinic.

“The overwhelming majority of advanced wound care innovation and investment focus in recent decades has been on the physical products used in treatment,” said Mazuz. “However, the opportunity to empower clinicians to better treat and manage patients with complex wounds is likely far greater, despite the relative lack of focus historically.”

“Having actively followed and been in contact with Corstrata since its inception, I’m thrilled to be collaborating with them to further activate and share their expertise with the massive cohort of clinicians who are otherwise faced with difficult-to-heal wounds without the benefit of years of specialized training, experience, and advanced technologies.”

“We are honored for Mr. Mazuz to join Corstrata as a Senior Advisor,” said Katherine Piette, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Corstrata. “We believe his vast knowledge of the national and international wound industry, coupled with his expertise in healthcare strategy, business development, and venture capital will be invaluable during Corstrata’s next phase of growth.”

Corstrata is tackling the big challenge of chronic wound care. This “silent epidemic” affects more than 6.5M people in the U.S. at a staggering cost of $39B annually. These numbers are on the rise due to the increased incidence of obesity, diabetes, vascular disease, and other contributing diseases. This problem is compounded by the scarcity and lack of access to wound experts, especially in the post-acute provider space where only 10% of certified wound care nurses practice. This results in a tremendous rate of misdiagnosis, ineffective treatments, poor clinical outcomes, and wasted resources, all producing critical data amassed by Corstrata in its analytics platform to inform its treatment algorithms for driving optimal care. Corstrata’s service-enabled technology platform provides access to wound experts to improve clinical outcomes at a lower cost per wound patient.

Leave a comment


Free Optimal Age Fitness & Health Event November 9 in Short Hills, NJ.

LEARN HOW TO SLOW THE AFFECTS OF AGING


SHORT HILLS, N.J. (PRWEB)

Gym Source will present an Optimal Age Health & Fitness information and training event November 9, 2019 10:00AM-4:00PM at 740 Morris Turnpike in Short Hills, NJ.

Each participant will receive a custom fitness profile and Optimizing Age plan of action from physiologist and educator Angela Santoni, PhD and celebrity trainer Danny Musico.

Optimizing Age is a concept developed by Angela Santoni, PhD. It considers the various systems of the human body that change as we age and how to address each system (muscle, heart, brain, bone) to achieve optimal health.

Optimal health is the highest possible physical, mental, and social state with the lowest risk of developing future diseases.

“Optimal Age asks that we throw away the idea of accepting age as a fixed state and take ownership of the controllable components of aging. It’s not about turning back a clock, but it’s also not about settling in,” Santoni explains. “It’s about understanding the changes in your body based on age, and targeting the areas you can improve through exercise and nutrition.”

Danny Musico, personal trainer to the stars, will lead participants through training techniques tailored to specific fitness goals and concerns. The event will feature several stations, with assessment tools, fitness information and nutritional advice at each location. Participants will learn what they can do to improve their health at every age.

PDC Launches New Ident-Alert™ Color Coded Wraps for Identifying Special Risk Patient Conditions

Leave a comment


ident alert wraps and tags for wristbands

Ident-Alert Wraps allow providers to identify special risk patients on a single wristband for improved patient comfort.

“…patients are complaining of too many wristbands. PDC has developed an all-in-one solution that works with any laser or thermal wristband and provides better visibility and security than what’s on the market today,”


VALENCIA, Calif. (PRWEB)

PDC, a global leader of innovative identification and patient safety solutions, announced today it has added Ident-Alert™ Wraps to its extensive patient identification offering for hospitals and healthcare providers. The average inpatient wears three wristbands, which can cause discomfort and interfere with IV access. Ident-Alert™ Wraps allow providers using traditional alert wristbands to reduce patient wristbands by 50% or more by consolidating multiple alerts onto one wristband for improved patient comfort and IV access.

Ident-Alert™ color coded wraps meet the national standardization guidelines that are endorsed by the American Hospital Association (AHA) and provide highly visible, color coded alerts with easy-to-read text. The wraps are compatible with all laser and thermal wristbands and feature a patent-pending wrap-around design and strong tamper-evident adhesive to keep alerts securely in place on patient’s main admit wristband. Alert wraps come on a roll in a compact dispenser box (3” x 3” X 1-1/4”) for easy storage and access and fit neatly on a shelf, desktop, or cart. Ident-Alert Wraps are available in the nationally standardized colors which include: red for “Allergy,” yellow for “Fall Risk,” green for “No Latex,” purple for “DNR,” and pink for “Limb Alert.”

“Many providers who use traditional alert wristbands have been looking for a better way to identify patients with special risks because patients are complaining of too many wristbands. PDC has developed an all-in-one solution that works with any laser or thermal wristband and provides better visibility and security than what’s on the market today,” said Owen Rooney Marketing Manager, Patient Identification for PDC. “Ident-Alert™ Wraps have been welcomed by nursing units and patients because they are more comfortable and don’t get in the way of IV placement.”

Ident-Alert™ Wraps are packaged in boxes of 250 wraps. Convenient pre-printed guides on the wraps help providers align the wraps for easy placements on main admit wristbands. Providers can also customize the wraps to meet their organization’s unique needs by using different colors or printing different text or icons. Ident-Alert™ is manufactured by PDC. For more information about Ident-Alert™ Wraps, please visit http://www.pdchealthcare.com/identalertwraps.
