Integrating Alternative Healing Into Your Fitness Practice
By Catherine Carrigan


Total Fitness invites you to join us January 22-26, 2007, for a week-long seminar on integrating alternative healing into your fitness practice.

This seminar will be lead by Sue Maes, a self empowerment coach and director of the Achievement and Learning Center in London, Ontario, Canada. Sue is a specialized kinesiologist who has taught alternative healing internationally for the past 20 years.

One of the many reasons we at Total Fitness get such great results with our clients is that we integrate the very best in fitness, nutrition and natural healing. Our exercise clients receive individualized postural assessments and fitness programs just for them. Our nutrition clients learn the very best foods and supplements for their metabolism. Our healing clients learn how to clear issues that may have been holding them back their entire lives. No one client receives the same program, and yet many have lost weight, overcome depression and anxiety, freed themselves from various addictions, eliminated pain they have suffered for years and achieved exceptional levels of health, fitness, prosperity and personal success.

It's our goal at Total Fitness to share the knowledge of how we do what we do with other practitioners.

One way we do this is through our radio show, Total Fitness, which is one of the most successful radio shows on www.voiceamerica.com, the No. 1 internet radio station in the world. We are proud to sponsor Sue Maes, who shares our passion for selflessly empowering others to be the very best they can be. You can find out more about Sue on her website, www.suemaes.com.

What you will learn in this seminar:

  • How to use kinesiology
  • The role of emotions in health and healing
  • Team-building skills
  • How to be more successful with money and business
  • How to identify the TRUE blocks that are holding clients back
  • How to figure out why clients are really not losing weight or getting well, and get them better
  • How to clear emotional blocks
  • How to make your practice more profitable
  • Emotional balancing
  • Stress reduction
  • How to change your clients' habit patterns

Cost: $1,500 with a $200 nonrefundable deposit due no later than Jan. 4. Space for this seminar is limited, so call now to reserve your place. To register, please contact Catherine Carrigan, president of Total Fitness, at 404-350-8581 or email her at Catherine@totalfitness.net.

Total Fitness Supports Children of The Night
By Nina Lynn

One of the things that gives us so much satisfaction at Total Fitness is spreading the good news about health and fitness to organizations and individuals who may not otherwise be able to reach our services.

This year alone, Total Fitness team members in Atlanta, Los Angeles and New York have helped raise money to prevent the spread of AIDs, taught yoga and stress-management techniques to people who serve drug addicts and sex workers and educated underprivileged youth how to eat better and take better care of their bodies.

In Los Angeles, Nina Lynn has been volunteering with Children of the Night, a private non-profit organization dedicated to assisting run-away children between the ages of 11 and 17 who are forced to prostitute for food and a place to sleep.

Since 1979, Children of The Night has rescued girls and boys from prostitution and the domination of vicious pimps. The facility is located in Los Angeles, California, but accepts children from all across the country.

Children of the Night is far more than a shelter. It also houses a school that all residents must attend. The kids produce amazing art work, poetry, science projects and writing assignments that I believe rival those of any public or private school. This school has been so successful that graduates are placed in technical schools, junior colleges and even four-year universities.

Residents live in dorm rooms and are provided with meals and snacks throughout the day. The program also includes workshops taught by volunteers in various professional fields. I am happy to be teaching the kids nutrition and salsa dancing.

Dr. Lois Lee, founder of Children of the Night, is truly inspiring. She holds a Ph.D. in sociology and has received numerous awards throughout the years for her work in rescuing child prostitutes as well as working with the community and coordinating law enforcement agencies. She works daily with the children herself, and is a constant source of strength and love for her kids.

With Children of the Night, Lois has created an environment of hope, learning, fun and inspiration for hundreds of children who knew nothing but desperation and fear. I feel lucky to be able to do my part to inspire these children to live healthier and more productive lives.

Client Success: Gayle Lehman
By Catherine Carrigan

Gayle Lehman, age 39, estimates that before she came to Total Fitness, she had lost 120 pounds and regained another 140 in various programs - Weigh Less in her native South Africa, Weight Watchers, South Beach, Atkins, diet pills and various strategies she had discovered reading different women's magazines.

"I know how to lose weight, but that's not the issue," she observed.

"I felt tired, depressed, overwhelmed and anxious and I had no direction," she recalled. "I was a compulsive overeater, there's no two ways about it. That's all past tense now. I don't eat through my emotions any more.

"A friend had told me how great another of your clients looks, so I searched the website, Totalfitness.net, and I knew this is what I wanted to do.

"I've not had an issue with depression almost from the first week of being here. One of the things I couldn't believe was how you just knew what I was thinking and how I was feeling. I felt understood."

Our first goal was to go without bingeing for 30 days. Gayle easily sailed through. Gayle and I worked with kinesiology, yogic breathing techniques, nutrition, supplements and life coaching. James Williams also did a postural analysis and set up a corrective exercise program to heal her back.

"I hated exercise before," she said. "Exercise used to flatten me and tire me out. I didn't want to do it again because I didn't like the results. When I do James' exercise program, I am not feeling tired by it, I feel energized. My muscles feel warm and tingly afterwards."

Gayle has lost body fat, but what's more important to her are the profound changes on other levels. "I am not focused on losing weight - I am focused on being healthy - that's a change for me. I always believed I was fat - a fat child, a fat teenager. I know a year from now I will be a totally different person. I'm not dealing with the weight - I am dealing with what has caused the weight. My husband is happy to see me more content and my children are delighted."
