Stress relief is a major benefit to working out! So, when the day is rough, get sweaty at Fit Fx!

  1. Increased ‘Happy Chemicals’

When we work out, our body released endorphins, which are known to create a sense of happiness and euphoria! Research has even gone as far as to credit exercise as a primary alleviator of depression in a several clinically diagnosed depressed individuals. You don’t need to be a crazy gym at to experience these benefits; just 3-5 classes per week at Fit Fx could have a life changing impact!

  1. Improved Confidence

Physical exercise leads to physical transformation which naturally leads to improved self-esteem and self-confidence! Improving our own self-image goes a long ways in improving our own perceived self-worth!

  1. Reduce Mental Decline

As much as we might want to deny it or think it’s not happening just yet, the reality is that as we get older, our brains get a little fuzzier. Exercise cannot prevent this from happening altogether, but it can slow the process and leave us as sharp as ever well past when we naturally would have experienced a cognitive decline!

  1. Anxiety Reduction

Similar to depression, doctors have prescribed exercise as a cure for anxiety. Sure, a nice warm bath or a massage sounds nice, but once again through clinical evidence, exercise has proven to be a far more effective method of anxiety reduction!
At Fit Fx we strive to improve not only your physical health, but you mental health as well. We believe that life is very interconnected and improvements in both physical and mental health will ultimately impact our lives in an extremely positive way, in all aspects!
