Fitness Center
As a fitness center, you strive to be a complete health and fitness resource for your members. Now you can provide brain fitness for your members right alongside physical fitness. You can offer brain fitness information and fun brain teasers in your newsletters, or print them on posters around the fitness equipment. If you want to offer serious programs with measurable results, and you have a computer lab, here are some recommended programs that your members most likely need to help them manage stress, find their peak performance zone, improve their mental game, and take care of their minds for life.
Anxiety, irritation, and anger are all stress-related emotions that can disrupt an athlete’s ability to perform, concentrate, coordinate movements, and make decisions. A complement to any tai-chi, yoga, or meditation stress relief program is biofeedback training. The comfortable and easy to use sensor provides real-time feedback on the user’s coherence, or synchronization between heart, brain, and emotions while he/she practices different breathing and relaxation techniques. Regular training will help athletes find their zone on demand and help all members reduce their stress response. The research behind this technology includes dozens of scientific studies published in peer-reviewed journals such as American Journal of Cardiology, Stress Medicine, and Psychosomatic Medicine.

Stress Management Training teaches your members to achieve physiological balance, mental clarity, and emotional stability. This in turn, reduces stress and anxiety, which helps them find and stay in “The Zone”. |
| Core game skills like reaction time, peripheral vision, real-time decision-making | |
Basketball Training helps players to train their cognitive game skills and make game night a little more fun…and brilliant. |
| Concern for maintaining and improving existing cognitive functions, as well as slowing any age-related cognitive decline | |
Our Comprehensive Brain Workout tests 14 different cognitive skills based on a personalized training regimen. |
If healthy aging is a main concern for your members, then a program designed specifically for adults who want to maintain a vital, agile, and sharp mind would be perfect for your computer lab. Any good brain fitness program must provide a variety of new challenges over time. While recreational activities like bridge, sudoku, and crossword puzzles work the brain, a comprehensive tool based in scientific research, like MindFit, can work all the mental muscles systematically. It provides novelty, challenge, and stretching practice for the mind through a completely individualized training regimen for your exact level of cognitive skill. MindFit focuses on life abilities such as: working memory, visual and auditory short term memory, planning, location memory, naming, time estimation, divided attention, and hand-eye coordination.
We recommend that you read Brain Fitness 101 and use some of the programs for yourself, to get a good grasp of what we are talking about. The Stress Management Training and the Comprehensive Brain Workout are the ones with more universal appeal.
