Cardio, Strength, Classes - 2 Clubs: Inside Canal Place & New Orleans Healing Center. #Workout Local With Us @ DFC, NOLA Strong For 44+ Years!

Although based on science, it’s really simple, e Although based on science, it’s really simple, effective and absolutely affordable: 

1. Exercise is the ultimate health “override”—boosts longevity, supports mental health, improves bones and balance, cuts disease risk. 🫀👤📈

2. Deep, consistent sleep 💤 powers recovery and brain health. 🧠 

3. Whole, UNPROCESSED foods to fuel ⛽️ a resilient body.

The basics still work—powerfully 💥. Skip the gimmicks, fads and ineffective supplements 💊. 

“It’s not about how long you’re going to live, but how healthy you’re going to live long.” Dr. Eric Topol @erictopol1 

We can help you exercise with purpose - monthly memberships starting at just $22.50 (and FREE with qualifying insurance).

“Strength training will improve your life in retirement. 

Investing in your good health into retirement is also something we should deem essential. Strength training and other forms of exercise will help keep blood pressure and sugar in healthy levels. Will help ward off lifestyle diseases like heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and some forms of cancer. Strength training keeps bones stronger and maintains more muscle, keys for better health and mobility into later life.

Maybe you aren’t motivated by looking a certain way. Maybe you’re not into fitness for how it feels now. Maybe thinking about it as part of your retirement is enough to get started.

Otherwise just hoping and praying to stay healthy in your retirement years is no more than financial planning by buying lottery tickets and hoping for a miracle.”
Big health wins from small steps! Research shows Big health wins from small steps! 

Research shows that 2,337 steps a day can reduce risk of heart-related death—and just 3,867 steps can reduce all-cause mortality. No need to chase 10k; just move more - it really matters.

Key takeaways:
• Every step counts—seriously.
• A 1,000-step boost = 15% lower risk of death.
• Start small: increase daily steps by 10% each month.
• Park farther, take the stairs, walk with purpose (>100 steps/min), hit the treadmill! 🏃🏿 🏃🏼‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 

Move more today & your future self will thank you tomorrow.
