As you burn away fat and strengthen lean muscle tissues, your feminine features shine through. If there is a secret to looking better, this is it. Moving your muscles through a range of motion while they are being ‘resisted’ is the one, best way to get results from your exercise time.This is as true for girls and women as it is for men.
UpLift is a female-only fitness studio that gives personalized attention, at the same price as gyms that make you fend for yourself. In fact, you are taught the very latest resistance training techniques, plus you get help with eating right, at a monthly price that’s less than the cost of one hour of personal training.
Our gym is fully equipped with state-of-the-art, custom-made resistance training equipment, created to our specifications. You will be working out on pieces of equipment tailored to women’s bodies, that are well maintained.The gym is set up and decorated to be inspiring, welcoming, and non-intimidating.
From our mission statement:
“Recognizing the specific nature of the female human body, mind and spirit, and realizing that the demands life puts on them change as girls grow into women, we provide personalized instruction on exercise, and nutritional advice, geared toward females.”
One of the most enduring exercise myths of all time is that women will get big, bulky muscles and lose flexibility if they “lift weights.”
Reality is that the response to resistance (weight) training in women is very different from what happens in men. The basis of the difference: women’s bodies are flush with the ‘female’ hormone estrogen, men’s with the ‘male’ hormone testosterone.
Breakthroughs have come in our understanding of the many health benefits associated with resistance training. We know how important it is, for females of all ages, to maintain and build lean muscle, and how resistance training actually improves the health of bones and many other body systems and functions.
You will never ‘outgrow’ UpLift, because your program will change to match up with your age and life circumstances.
We recognize that girls grow into teenagers, then become young adults, middle-aged and ‘golden-age’ women. Even within these major milestones, many are the changes in a woman’s life: your fitness goals will be quite different when you are in college or working that first job, when compared with having your first baby, or trying to juggle a career with driving three kids to all their activities. Maybe you get diagnosed with an unexpected health challenge, and your exercise program needs a new focus.
UpLift is the pioneer of this idea. We call it Evolutionary Fitness™ and consider it crucial to helping you get—and remain—healthy and strong.
Our concept works for females of all ages. In fact, it’s probably most important for older women, because of the amazing power of the UpLift brand of resistance training when it comes to staving off serious problems like osteoporosis and heart disease.
Life stages and circumstances alter everybody’s fitness goals.
We custom tailor programs that flow with the changes in your life.
You have a home at UpLift that you never have to leave.
While it’s true that men and women secrete both testosterone and estrogen, men typically have a much higher level of testosterone in their bodies than women do. Testosterone, along with weight training, is needed to build muscle mass. So unless women have unusually high natural levels of testosterone (which is rare), or they abuse anabolic steroids, it’s essentially impossible for them to ‘bulk up’ from lifting weights.
When women use weight training as the core of their exercise routine, here’s what actually happens: The process of moving resistance through a range of motion burns fat from amid muscle tissues, in addition to many other benefits. That lets the shape of muscles show through. The longer you stick with it, the more change you see. Women become leaner, their feminine shape more pronounced.
According to former United States Surgeon General David Satcher, being overweight or obese “may soon cause as much preventable disease and death as cigarette smoking.” Every year in America, about 300,000 deaths are linked to being obese or overweight.
It has been shown that overweight people are more likely to develop health problems such as:
* High blood pressure
* High cholesterol
* Type 2 diabetes
* Coronary heart disease
* Stroke
* Osteoarthritis
* Sleep apnea and other respiratory problems
* Some cancers (endometrial, breast, and colon)
Almost one-third of all adults in the United States (more than 60 million people) are obese, defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Further, it’s estimated that 65 percent of American adults are either overweight or obese, defined as having a BMI of 25 or higher.
(BMI is a measure of weight compared to height.)
A quote from Edward Stanley really hits home with us: “Those who think they have no time for exercise will sooner or later have to find time for ILLNESS.”
There is a secret to success! You will find it at UpLift…
* A custom tailored exercise program
* Balanced nutrition (no more diets—you simply learn to eat healthy, tasty foods)
* Sufficient water intake
(water is required by every cell in the body for peak health; 8-10 glasses is needed every day; it’s essential for life, as we cannot store it in our bodies)
* Basic record keeping
* Specific goals, that change as your life changes
* Improves the health of your heart
(This cuts your risk of heart disease, the #1 cause of preventable death in women)
* Strengthens your bones
(In women of all ages, this can literally prevent, stave off, or reduce osteoporosis)
* Reduces the risk of certain cancers
(obesity is linked to increased risk of breast, colon and kidney cancers)
* Lowers your chances of getting diabetes
* Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol counts
* Cuts stress, so you feel better
* Improves your self-esteem
* Burns calories and fat
* The UpLift brand of resistance-based exercise and healthy eating can transform the shape of your body! Strength training has a profound influence on your physical appearance. A “leaner, firmer you” looks, moves, and feels better.
You will not achieve a healthy balance if you simply “lose weight,” unless you are losing fat. Many high-intensity types of exercise, and styles of dieting, actually attack your body’s muscle tissue, rather than fat reserves.
In order to burn fat from amid muscle tissues, you have to monitor exercise intensity to accomplish this specific goal. We call it the fat-burning zone, and we will teach you how to find it and stay in it!
Our ancestors did not live as long as we do now. As we age in our modern, much more sedentary society, our bodies gain fat, while losing muscle and bone density. By introducing resistance training into our regular activities, women can maintain and even gain bone density and muscle!
At UpLift, we use a scientific approach that balances free weights with machines to effectively train all the muscles in the female body.
Strength training builds muscle. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn all day long. Muscle, unlike fat, needs calories to survive. Therefore, the more muscle you have, the better your body burns calories.
(From the time a woman finishes a resistance workout, her body continuously burns fat calories at an accelerated rate for about 72 hours.)
Did you know that the average person loses at least a half-pound of muscle every year after age 25? You can reverse this, with strength training. As you go about your everyday activities—running to the grocery store, playing with your children or grandchildren, maintaining a busy lifestyle—a strong skeletal system lets you do more. The UpLift brand of resistance training will give you stronger muscles and bones, as well as stronger and more durable ligaments, tendons and joints.
Strength training, along with fat-burning cardio and good nutrition, is the ‘secret’ formula for making positive changes to the look and health of your female body!
