Why choose a Wellness Centre over a gym?

One of the most common things we hear is: “I’m not a ‘gym person’ so what’s that real difference about a wellness centre?”

We’re glad you asked because the differences between a gym and a wellness centre are not just huge but vitally important to your health journey.

If you’re tired of being forced to run on the treadmill for hours and you’re looking for a far more inclusive environment, then a wellness centre is the way to go.

We cover all your health needs, not just fitness.

Coming to Green Apple Wellness Centre is like coming to a health hub. We understand that your body and health needs ongoing support, it’s not all about just getting fit.

We offer everything from diabetes educators to dietitians, physiotherapists, and clinical therapists.

At our centre, the remedial massage treatments aren’t just used for relaxation but work with your exercise activities to achieve your fitness goals. Remedial massage is well-accepted as an effective method of treating muscular, nerve, fascia and joint pain.

Our exercise physiologists recognise the critical role that remedial massage plays in repairing and balancing soft tissue. If unnecessary stress on joints can be reduced through massage, then you can get far more out of your exercise routines (however big or small).

If you are looking at specific fitness activities, then we can cater to your specific needs. We have everything from personal training to Power-Plate, Aerobics, Step and Stretch class, Yoga, Pilates, Zumba, TRX and Aquarobics.

We offer everything from Yoga to Zumba and Step class.

If you’re a senior, then we have specialist regimes that understand the barriers it often takes to exercise. From there, we can adapt your activities appropriately.

It’s important to note that our staff are experts in their respective fields, who support both group and individual training approaches.

We’re not just about super-fast weight loss.

Unlike many gyms who just focus on the bare minimum, we’re here to support your holistic, health goals and we enjoy going above and beyond helping you lose weight.

We have a variety of programs and courses that support these balanced developments, most notably the Healthy Eating and Active Lifestyle (HEAL) course.

HEAL works with a diversity of people with a variety of goals, whether it’s weight loss or gain, increasing energy, reforming poor eating habits or yo-yo dieting. Over eight sessions, our experts cover goal setting, your metabolism, fibre and water, calcium, alcohol and sodium intakes, carbohydrates, fat, and protein and iron.

We’re all about providing you with knowledge for a healthy diet. 

Our other programs include the Healthy Weight Challenge, Steady Steps, Heartmoves, Lungs in Actions, and Stronger for Longer.

If you’ve gone to a gym before and felt uncomfortable because of pre-existing health conditions or injuries, then please be sure that we’re completely accommodating of that.

Our accredited exercise physiologists and personal trainers work with you on your concerns but also ensure none of your activities are placing you at risk. While some gyms may say they can work around your injuries, we’re also dedicated to ensuring you don’t develop new ones. 

If you are looking at weight loss, we do offer the Healthy Weight Challenge which is about providing you with the nutritional information and food knowledge to follow your weight goals.

Through our challenge, we investigate a range of topics including portion sizes, emotional eating, exercise for weight loss and diet myths.

Our centre is about inclusiveness, not exclusion.

Too many people know the feeling of walking into a gym and immediately feeling isolated. Whether it’s the bulky weight lifters or people exercising in designer clothing, we all know what it feels like to feel out of place. In fact, that’s why so many people stop working out at gyms because the cultural fit isn’t right for them.

We’re here for you.

At Green Apple Wellness Centre, we’re focused on making the environment all about inclusiveness.

Many people are concerned that if they’re overweight, they’ll be laughed at, but under no circumstances does that happen at Green Apple. Our members rally around others to support their efforts.

It also doesn’t matter how old you are, whether you’re 21 or 70. Our website might make you think we cater purely for seniors, but our main target audience is those who don’t consider themselves the hard-core gym type. It doesn’t matter how old you are, what you wear, or your gender, Green Apple is there to support your health fitness goals, not bring them down.

Attending a wellness centre is about receiving holistic health care rather than just a venue to do your exercise.

So, if you’ve had a bad experience with a gym then why not try the switch. We promise it will be worth it!

Come into our Wellness Centre today and experience our welcoming, friendly staff in a fun, non-intimidating environment.
