For those who want to transform their diet but don’t know where to start to ensure they are getting the right amount of calories and nutrition, Henry Mayo Fitness and Health staff can help “navigate that for you,” according to Sharlene Duzick, member services director. 

“A lot of folks just go to standard ratios of 1,300 calories or less and they don’t realize that they’re not eating enough coinciding with their workouts,” Duzick said. “So we try to provide that infrastructure internally and give you those tools to be successful.”

Similarly, those with fitness goals large and small can receive guidance on how best to realistically implement a structured training program with their goal in mind, Duzick added.

In January, Henry Mayo Fitness and Health staff are set to hold a monthly trainer workshop called “Healthier You,” where people can receive this kind of individualized assistance, according to Duzick. 

“We always go through goal setting every year, and so for those individuals that are (thinking), ‘I’m going to run a marathon,’ let’s talk about what that looks like,” Duzick said. “Let’s break that down into your daily schedule, or then your weekly schedule, make sure that you’re doing the miles, that you’re on the injury prevention side and you can obtain your end in mind, which is crossing the finish line.”

In addition to this monthly program, Duzick noted that Henry Mayo Fitness and Health staff offer four appointments with a trainer to new members to help get them started on achieving their fitness goals. 

The first appointment is a health risk assessment, when the trainer discusses past injuries, medical conditions, current medications and more, according to Duzick. 

“We want to make sure we’re doing what’s right for you where you’re at physically and health-wise,” she said.

Next, a functional movement screen is conducted to evaluate the physical state of the body, looking at things like flexibility, balance, muscle strength, endurance and asymmetries that might cause dysfunction or discomfort, Duzick continued. 

The third meeting helps the new member “get acquainted” with their strength and cardio, and the fourth meeting is typically a 90- to 120-day followup.

“We try to be pretty thorough,” Duzick said. “One of the biggest inhibitors … is, ‘Where do I start?’ So providing them that infrastructure of those four appointments goes, ‘Look, here’s a road map, here’s a guide, here’s to start off with,’ and then when you go to the goal-setting workshop, we actually break that down into, ‘What does your daily schedule look like, or your weekly and monthly, and what are your goals?’”

Duzick concluded, “So let’s talk about those steps that will get you closer to doing the things that you want to do.”
