OVERVIEW:

Dan Gamel's Health and Racquet Club provides members with a wide variety of programs to help meet their specific and individual goals. We understand that helping people reach their goals is a key ingredient to a healthier lifestyle. In order to provide members with the quality service that they deserve, our fitness professionals (personal trainers) are required to not only continually educate themselves to maintain their certifications, but they must also fulfill in-house educational requirements. With today's technology and continuing research in the field of fitness, it is very easy to get left behind with old information. With our in-house educational system, we endeavor to stay on the cutting edge of this new information in order to provide effective guidance to our members.

Our Training Packages Include:

• Fitness evaluation and basic nutrition information
• Diet analysis and nutritional guidelines
• Body Fat Analysis
• Instruction on the proper use of cardiovascular & strength equipment
• Information describing how and when to change your fitness program to achieve the most results
• Education on the importance of warming up, stretching, and cooling down
• Goal setting Try one of our 6- or 9-week personal fitness courses and get into the best shape of your life!

Get Active For Your Next Staff Meeting! - Our Executive Board Room, located on the second floor of the Club, is a great location for staff and management meetings.  Complete catering can be provided by our Club Café.

Employee Fitness Awareness Day. We'll host your staff for a full day of activities and fun. We suggest a motivating exercise seminar followed by a game of indoor or outdoor volleyball. This is a popular way to kick off a corporate membership.

Employee Appreciation Day. Why settle for another usual company picnic when you can host a private poolside company barbecue at the Club? It's a great family environment with something for everyone - tennis, basketball, racquetball, even a play area for the young ones.
