Are you exploring ways to add fitness to your daily life? Sometimes it’s a personal decision, based on body changes, the desire to have more energy, vitality and to look and feel better. Often a medical issue or doctor visit provides the impulse to start searching for the path to improved health. Either way, Leisure Fitness provides convenient, affordable equipment and on-line training solutions to help you meet your fitness goals from the comfort of your own home.  

Of all the challenges facing those trying to adopt a fitness lifestyle, the biggest one is simply finding the time, according to James Bond, director of retail sales and marketing for Leisure Fitness. “Today, more than ever, people’s time is at a premium, but at the same time, they don’t want to cut corners on their goals. They want to get effective results without being totally overwhelmed by the wealth of options and information confronting them,” said Bond.

With that goal in mind, Leisure Fitness is working in partnership with leading trainer, coach and educator Dr. Paul Kennedy to offer an on-line wellness program that works for any level or lifestyle.

“Dr. Paul” is one of the nation’s leading health education professionals with long-standing credentials as both a practitioner and communicator who got his “start” in Delaware. He taught Phys. Ed. and Health, and coached football and wrestling at both Sussex Central and Dover high schools, and still lives in Dewey Beach for part of the year. A former vice president of Bally Fitness Centers, he was also a competitive weight lifter, and strength and conditioning coach at Penn State (where he earned his doctorate in Exercise Science) and Rutgers Universities.

He’s been a leading motivational speaker, featured as the in-house fitness expert on local television programs in major markets from Miami to Chicago, and hosted “The Bally Total Fitness Show.”      

As one of the leading suppliers of nationally known brands of training equipment, Leisure Fitness has long been at the forefront of helping people take ownership of their personal home fitness regimen. By purchasing in bulk, Leisure Fitness can affordably offer the same professional quality training machines found in health clubs and gyms. With equipment starting at just $299 with zero percent financing, free delivery and trade-in values for your used machines, Leisure Fitness makes creating a home gym environment a reality for almost any budget. “We’re firmly in the fitness business,” Bond said. “With Dr. Paul leading our Wellness Community effort, we’re able to add even more value to what we already provide.”

When you visit www.leisurefitness.com, you’ll unlock a cache of comprehensive and easily comprehendible health, fitness and wellness resources, all in one place. A complete catalogue of up to 350 articles by Dr. Paul covers a wide range of topics. You’ll also discover information on starting and charting your personal fitness and wellness program, including printable training logs and health and wellness charts to track the progress of everything from cardio training to body composition measurements, flexibility measurements, eating plan diaries and analyses, workout cards, body mass index calculations, and more.

Sign up for the “Be Fit, Stay Fit!” Wellness Community Newsletter from Dr. Paul, along with an events calendar of up coming seminars at Leisure Fitness locations and other special activities to enhance your program.

Providing a clearinghouse for information related to health, wellness and fitness is another goal of Leisure Fitness’ Wellness Center . “Another leading challenge for people seeking fitness answers is wading through the wealth of often conflicting and confusing information, often requiring intensive Internet, library, or book store searches. “Our Wellness Center provides a one-stop location to find well-researched and documented consistent information,” Bond said.

“The Leisure Fitness sales staff provides another pillar in the company’s wellness and fitness program, Bond added. “Working in our stores is more than a job for our people, it’s a career. Most come from educational and professional backgrounds related to the fitness and wellness world, and are therefore knowledgeable to help customers pair their training equipment with the workout they need. Many have undergone additional training with Dr. Paul’s team, along with certification provided by equipment manufacturers,” he said. “Most of our staff who help customers have been with us for at least 10 years. There is no one better to help you match up our full line of fitness products and accessories to those that help you best reach your goals,” he added.

There are 13 Leisure Fitness locations throughout Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia. If you’re looking for better results in less time, take advantage of a free seminar by Dr. Paul Kennedy called “The Workout that Works.” Seminars will be held from 7 p.m.-9 p.m., Nov. 5 at the Annapolis, Md., location, 410-573-2031, or Nov. 11 at the Rehoboth Beach, Rt. 1 location, 302-227-6847.
