CHICAGO, and SAINT PAUL, Minn., Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- New Leaf Health and Fitness Products, a unit of St. Paul, Minnesota based Angeion Corporation, announced today that Mike George Fitness System is now an authorized New Leaf Health and Fitness services provider. This makes Mike George Fitness System part of an elite group of fitness clubs and training facilities able to create highly effective personalized exercise and weight loss plans based on an individual's metabolic profile.
"We're pleased to welcome Mike George Fitness System to the select group of fitness facilities that are moving exercise training into the 21st century by implementing the New Leaf metabolic assessment system. As part of the program, Mike George Fitness System had its staff complete an advanced training program on using metabolic markers to create personalized training and exercise programs. The training is nationally recognized and accredited by the American Council on Exercise (ACE)," said Terry Kapsen, New Leaf Vice President. "This proven technology really is the science behind exercise. Programs based on the New Leaf System help you achieve your weight management, fitness, and athletic performance goals according to your unique individual metabolism. Now, Mike George Fitness System's clients will know how many calories a day they can eat without gaining weight and exactly how hard to exercise to burn the most fat or to improve their fitness and endurance," continued Kapsen.
"We have been a leader in providing this technology to hospitals, clinics and elite human performance centers such as NASA and Olympic training centers worldwide for the past 25 years through our sister business, Medical Graphics Corporation. Recently, based on a series of patented innovations in technology, we have made it practical to offer this capability to leading fitness facilities and ultimately to consumers. Now that the technology is readily available and affordable, it is difficult to understand why anyone would plan an exercise or weight loss program without it. It would be like going on a trip without a map -- you could guess if you are going in the right direction but you wouldn't know for sure," Kapsen concluded.
