What makes Welcyon different than traditional gyms?

• Welcyon is a niche market for people 50 and over. The welcoming atmosphere and fitness details are designed to meet the needs and desires of aging adults.
• Programming is designed by physical therapist Mark Richards,  M.P.T.; protocols for workouts follow the American College of  Sports Medicine guidelines.
• Specially-trained fitness coaches take a health history and customize a workout program for each member, with an  emphasis on safety and supervision.
• Each member receives a one-on-one orientation to get familiar with equipment and protocols. 
• There is ongoing guidance and supervision without the hourly expense of a trainer. 
• Programs include aerobic exercise, balance training, flexibility, and strength training to build valuable muscle mass and help prevent falls. Welcyon is proud to offer unique balance training programs and equipment that aren’t found at traditional gyms. 
• Welcyon offers a program that provides maintenance of exercise following completion of rehabilitation. 
• To minimize the risk of injury and incidents, Welcyon is equipped with air-powered strength training equipment that provides stable, controlled, objective, and reproducible exercises.
