Flex Appeal adds
nutrition to exercise |
Summer is here, and for
many, it’s time to find a diet or exercise plan to look good. Brad
White and Darryl Jones understand.
Co-owners of the Flex Appeal fitness club, the two recently
celebrated one year in business at their new location, 118 Everest
Road, and expanded their offerings with a wide range of vitamins and
nutritional supplements.
“We’d dabbled in it
before but decided to expand, since there isn’t a GNC or similar
vitamin store in the area,” Jones said.
A former competitive bodybuilder, Jones says that these pills and
powders can improve the results of one’s exercise routine.
“It plays a big part, by helping restore your body after a
workout,” he said. “A lot of the food people eat these days doesn’t
have a lot of nutrition, so this helps you recover faster and build
muscle.”
White, an anesthesiologist at Providence Newberg Medical Center,
agreed.
“Two-thirds of Americans have a weight problem — it’s really the
No. 1 health crisis in America,” he said. “This isn’t just something
we set up for gym members, but anyone who wants to visit. We have
reference books they can use, and people can get advice or return a
purchase, unlike ordering online.”
Joined with Flex appeal’s current offerings of yoga and kickboxing
classes, tanning, weights and cardio equipment, the duo believes
their business now has a little of everything.
“We were just testing the waters at first, but now we’re looking
for input from customers on the products they need,” White said.
“Our background has given us some idea, but we’re looking to
fine-tune it.” |
