Excel Body Fitness Offers Onsite Holistic Health Services to Companies Onsite

Cary, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/17/2017 -- We live in a day and age where the sedentary lifestyle is ubiquitous and, in countless cases, virtually unavoidable. This is particularly true in the corporate world where the basic benefits of moving around as a part of daily activities are so often neglected due to being stationary for eight or more hours of the day and the typical benefits that would otherwise accompany such a normal behavior are severely undermined. But the effects are often much further reaching than what can be seen with the naked eye. Internal issues – both physically and mentally – run rampant. While neglecting any form of exercise can have dire consequences for an individual – even companies who not only value their employees' well-being but also the health of the very company they are trying to grow and keep healthy are taking notice and looking for solutions to the epidemic at hand.

Fortunately, Excel Body Fitness, a center that looks at the well-being of the individual from a "bigger picture" kind of view – instead of just one aspect of health – has experience in these matters and is answering the call for a solution to this ever-growing problem. Excel Body Fitness truly believes in the importance of fitness as a sustainable long term practice that improves both the mind and the body.

"Since our inception, we here at Excel Body Fitness have been all about focusing on the individual as a whole and have continued to evolve daily in ways that bring our business – and most importantly our clients – closer to that goal," shared co-founder and -owner Pantea Dougani. "The corporate world is waking up to the reality that if they expect their employees to perform efficiently and effectively in our modern society, they need to take some steps towards an environment that encourages physical activity and increases morale among workers."

Dougani has already seen tremendous open-mindedness about these ideas and is extremely optimistic about the future of fitness in the corporate arena. She has noted that companies have been more and more conscious of providing some stress relief for their employees.

Excel's onsite services can mean anything from actual workouts all the way to massage. Just 45-50 minutes of stretching and core, or a combination of weight training and cardio will help employees to have a more productive day as well as better health.

"You'd be amazed how many employees end up coming to the fitness classes we offer onsite at companies. Many of these people would love to go to the gym after work if they had time, but it's simply out of the question for many of them – particularly those who have children, a long commute, or a second job. Bringing it to work means the world to them and gives the added benefit of being able to have a more fulfilling and productive work day."

Massage is another one of the many techniques Excel Body Fitness employs in promoting overall wellness within the corporate world. While massage may be relaxing and much appreciated by anyone with even the slightest bit of stress, its effects reach far beyond what may be apparent on the surface. When it comes to the workplace, massage therapy truly shines through. It has been shown time and time again that having a massage therapist available onsite for employees can result in tremendous improvements in performance.

Excel Body Fitness contracts with various companies and corporations in Raleigh, NC and surrounding areas in offering 30-60 minute table massages and 10-15 minute chair massages to employees during the workday. Having massage therapy in the workplace is an investment on several levels. First, it plays a huge role in health itself. It can result in happier workers, higher retention, and overall increased likeability of the company. The service is especially beneficial for manufacturing and desk workers who often experience back, neck, and shoulder pain as well as carpal tunnel and knee problem as a result of their duties.

Employers providing either of these services ultimately provide something invaluable on many levels for those at their company. What might take an employee many hours out of their day to do (hours they may not have in the first place) is brought to them at work and, in many cases, can be subsidized or even paid for by insurance.

Nutrition advice, success coach, physical therapist, personal trainers, yoga, massage therapy, smoke cessation seminars, and a host of other programs are available at Excel making it a truly all-around health center that focuses not just on the body but the mind as well.

North Carolina Gym Recognizes the Need for Taking a Holistic Approach to Personal Wellbeing

Cary, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/25/2016 -- North Carolina-based Wellness Center Excel Body Fitness donated towards making Foundation of Hope's Walk for Hope in Raleigh a reality this month. The annual event was held this year on October 9, 2016 just one day after World Mental Health Day – a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma. 100% of the money raised by participants directly funds local mental health research at the UNC Neurosciences Hospital in Chapel Hill. However, Excel's contribution towards the event is but one small show of how the North Carolina fitness center takes mental health seriously.

Excel believes that mental health and physical fitness can cross in many ways. For one, some issues related to mental well-being are offset by physical activity and exercise which can improve arenas such as mood, energy, outlook, and more. They recognize, however, that some mental health issues certainly are something an individual simply cannot improve through exercise and instead may need medication as prescribed by a doctor, professional therapy, and other treatments. The struggle that comes into play for many folks who live with mental health conditions is that they face judgment, scrutiny, and misunderstanding on a daily basis. There is not only a lack of open-mindedness towards mental illness in many environments, but even hostility, negativity, and stigmatism.

At Excel Fitness, all staff strive to create the opposite of this environment. Excel lives up to their philosophy that there's a connection between mind and body that can't be escaped. Excel is about encouraging health with a holistic approach – whether it's diet, exercise, rest, hydration, or as stress-free an environment as possible. Excel staff recognizes that mental health is a real issue in the world and that there are many places where there is complete unawareness and misinformation on the subject. Many individuals are uncomfortable even mentioning they have a condition around friends, families, and co-workers, but everyone who comes through Excel's doors need not feel apprehensive in any way. Every human wants to function and thrive and be supported and support others and, when it comes to mental health, this is something that is often not emphasized (and, at times, even neglected) within the fitness industry.

"We feel that if more companies employed this kind of attitude and open-mindedness, they would see a surge in productivity. When you treat people like people and really show a willingness to understand where they're coming from and to work with them, morale increases and retention is higher," shared Excel Body Fitness co-founder and -owner Pantea Dougani. "All this ultimately builds on a strong, more united, and less stressed company. At Excel, this environment of acceptance, understanding, and unity is what we strive for each day not only with our employees but everyone who comes through our doors."

Nutrition advice, success coach, physical therapist, personal trainers, yoga, massage therapy, and a host of other programs are available at Excel making it a truly all-around health center that focuses not just on the body but the mind as well.

Excel Body Fitness Offers a Holistic Approach to Health With Onsite Massage Services

Cary, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/27/2016 -- Wellness is not merely about exercising. In an age where many gyms seem to be fixated on image alone and having the most toned physique possible, the bigger picture is often neglected and customers consequently may not get the ultimate results they're looking for in terms of health. One gym has a different approach. Excel Body Fitness believes that not only does exercise not have to be grueling, it also doesn't have to be the only method a gym can offer to its customers in order to help them achieve a better state of health.

Massage is one of the many techniques Excel Body Fitness employs in promoting overall wellness. While massage may be relaxing and much appreciated by anyone with even the slightest bit of stress, its effects reach far beyond what may be apparent on the surface. When it comes to the workplace, massage therapy truly shines through.

What might take an employee many hours out of their day to do (hours they may not have in the first place) is brought to them at work and, in many cases, can be subsidized or even paid for by insurance.

"What costs companies tons of money in the long run is high turnover rate, employees out sick, and employees who aren't productive and have low morale," shared Excel Body Fitness co-founder and -owner Pantea Dougani. "The smart approach is maintenance and prevention versus treatment. This highly effective method is a win-win for both businesses and workers.

North Carolina Gym Works Around its Customers – Not the Other Way Around

Cary, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2016 -- Fitness is no longer a luxury. It is an absolute necessity. People are working longer hours while the percentage of work that is physical in nature has dramatically decreased. Technology and better mass transportation have also fostered a much more sedentary lifestyle in modern Americans of all ages. Young and old are experiencing depression, anxiety and loneliness in untold numbers due in part to the lack of physical activity in group settings they regularly fail to engage in.

There is light at the end of the tunnel though. Slowly, people are waking up to the reality of the situation and looking for ways to take back their health. However, with the increasing challenges posed by today's world, there are fewer and fewer viable options to make fitness a part of daily life. Some companies, however, are doing their genuine part to help in this nationwide movement. One such business is Excel Body Fitness (XBF). XBF truly believes in the importance of fitness as a sustainable long term practice that improves both the mind and the body.

"At XBF, we are all about making fitness accessible," shared co-founder and -owner Pantea Dougani. "Too many gyms aren't conducive to the broad range of lifestyles that exist out there. It is essential to take into account busy parents, people who work extremely long hours, folks who don't live down the street from a gym – the list goes on. Their health matters just as much as the next person and we've been about helping people from all walks from day one and continually strive to set the standard for fitness that works around each and every lifestyle out there."

The importance of physical activity in dealing with heart disease, strokes, blood pressure, and cholesterol (to name a few) and in increasing attentiveness and productivity is indisputable and needs to be addressed without excluding people on a seemingly arbitrary basis. Whether it be through their corporate fitness programs that visit employees onsite and lead to increased productivity, creativity and teambuilding in the workplace; their inhouse care services for children (and fitness programs as well) that allow hardworking parents to stay in shape; or nutritional programs that are an equally important aspect of health, XBF is built on the idea that fitness is an inseparable part of the well-being of not only the individual but of the community of which that individual is a part of and that each member of that community is composed of people who have a huge variety of needs.

Excel Body Fitness Knows the Keys to Running a Long-lasting Fitness Center

Cary, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/24/2016 -- Gyms can be intimidating, inconvenient, impersonal, and sometimes just downright unpleasant experiences for many of us. At the end the day, fitness really is more than just fitness. It's something that should be sustainable, enjoyable, beneficial and truly promote health – not just drain one's energy and wallet. The folks at Excel Body Fitness (XBF) think we can all do better. They believe a healthy lifestyle is something that comes naturally when the right environment is present and their very progressive approach proves just this.

While the fitness and gym industry is hard to survive in, XBF has been steadily growing stronger each day in the six years it's been open. Begun by Pantea Dougani and Carolee Poythress using only a church building, the business has certainly come a long way from its humble roots as it now occupies a 10,000 sq. ft. space. What continues to set XBF apart after all these years is their personalized approach to clients. While many gyms are only interested in making a quick buck, XBF invests in the long term. After all, how many gyms will offer physical examinations, nutritional education, and – in some cases – even send give them a workout package if they're going on a trip? XBF does all this and much because it believes in ensuring that each and every person who comes through their doors consistently experience health to the fullest – no matter what their current level of fitness may be. In turn, XBF know that this will have a positive effect not just on individual lives but of all those they touch.

"Seeing health as a whole package, XBF focuses heavily on the family and community. We offer classes for kids young and old – from zumba and yoga for pre-teens to middle school boot camps for those serious about sports – the entire family is always welcome at XBF!" shared co-founder and -owner Pantea Dougani. "Our fitness center also highly encourages its members to buy local fresh food as much as possible not just for the tremendous health benefits but also for the sake of promoting other small businesses. And, finally, XBF also brings the gym to people with its onsite fitness programs targeted primarily at corporations seeking to keep their employees healthy and productive."

When it comes to real fitness, individuals, families, and corporations alike all have something to gain from XBF. To learn more about the vast amounts of amenities offered as well as class schedules from experienced instructors and membership types available, visit excelbodyfitness.com.
