April is Plank Month!

During the month of April we will be hosting a "Plank Challenge" for our members at DF. Here is how it works: 

Starting April 1st, you will hold a plank for 20 seconds, then every few days you will add more time seconds. By the end of the month you will work up to 300 seconds (5 minutes). Then on April 30th we will hold a "Last Man or Woman Planking" Contest - the person who can hold a Plank the longest will win a special prize! Make sure to pick up your Planking Time calendar from us at the front desk.

Good Luck

Are You Fit For Golf?

Golf is a game of very dynamic movements.  In order to consistently perform these movements your body has to function as efficiently as possible through each part of your golf swing.  Playing more golf and more years of golf is based on maintaining a healthy level of fitness. 

We take a two-sided approach to building the best golfer possible.  The first phase begins with our Titleist Performance Institute 12 test movement screen, which is a precise evaluation of your body’s performance level and health for the sport of golf.  The findings from this screen allow us to develop a corrective action plan tailored to fit your exact flexibility and coordination needs.

The next step is a transition into our golf fitness program.  Here we will either build a solid client from the ground up or simply supplement any past training with our innovative training techniques to guarantee that a foundation of core strength and overall fitness is developed.

90-Day Golf Fitness Program
Includes:

• Monthly (3 total) Golf Fitness Assessments by TPI(Titliest Performance Institute) Certified Golf Specialist, Dr. Justin Scott
• Weekly (12 total) Golf-Specific Personal Training Sessions with an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach
• Golf-Specific Fitness Program Design
• 90-Days Unlimited access to Defined FitnessdotFIT Nutrition Program
• Improved golf game and lower scores

All this for only 3 payments of  $449!!

What is a "Slosh Pipe?"

Since the announcement of our St. Patrick's Day "Get Sloshed with Defined Fitness" Slosh Pipe workout we've been getting asked: "What's a slosh pipe?"

A slosh pipe is a 4 inch PVC pipe that is 3/4 filled with water, the water then "sloshes" around inside requiring your core's stabilizer muscles to contract and work to keep your body upright and keep you from dropping it. In our workout you will get to experience first hand just how fun and challenging the slosh pipe can be by using it with squats, carries, and presses.

Afterwards be sure to hang around for a complimentary Guiness or two on the house!

Hope to see you all here on Friday, March 14th at 5 p.m. and let's all get "Sloshed" together!
