Functional Training

Functional Training helps provide you with the strength, stability, power, mobility, endurance, and flexibility that you need to thrive in athletic sports, and as you move through your life. You use basic functional movement patterns like pushing, hinging, squatting, rotating, carrying, and motor patterns (walking and running). Training this way will enhance your performance so you can achieve your goals safely and with good health.

High Intensity Interval Training – Beginner to Tabata

These 30-to-45-minute sessions focus around an exercise strategy that alternates short intense periods of anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods.

TRX Body Suspension

TRX Body Suspension is a workout leverage system using gravity, and your body weight, to perform several different exercises. You are in control of how much you want to challenge yourself on each exercise, because you can simply adjust your body position to add or decrease resistance. TRX Training uses tools and movements that challenge the entire body in every plane of motion.

Spinning

Indoor cycling, as an organized activity, is a form of exercise with classes focusing on endurance, strength, intervals, high intensity (race days), and recovery, and involves using a special stationary exercise bicycle with a weighted flywheel in a classroom setting. It is commonly called spinning, or spin class.

Foam Roll Out

The benefits of foam rolling have to do with the mobility of the fascia, which is a fibrous layer of connective tissue that surrounds all the muscles in our body. Without proper mobility, fibers of the fascia become cross linked and they bind to muscles and nerves, inhibiting normal motion and causing pain.

Whether you are looking to increase your mindfulness, flexibility, core strength, or just get back into a healthy routine of moving your body, our yoga classes offer something for every level!

Did you know there are only 3 facilities in the Flagstaff area that have the COSMED technology? Out of those 3, NACA is the only one that is available to YOU! Northern Arizona University has the COSMED technology, but utilizes it for their student athletes. Flagstaff Medical Center also has the COSMED Technology, but limits it to their medical patients. NACA is the only facility in the Flagstaff area that offers this amazing and extremely useful service to the public. That means YOU can utilize the COSMED technology and get on the path to a better and healthier lifestyle!

So you may be wondering, what is COSMED equipment?

COSMED fitness testing equipment enables health professionals to assess, measure, and improve Cardiopulmonary Functions. It is state of the art technology that measures vitals and algorithms, in real time, to provide a glimpse into the human body. The Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test provided through COSMED accurately evaluates VO2 (volume of oxygen consumption), which reflects the functional capabilities of the heart, lungs, and muscles!

Here at the NACA Wellness Center, we are working hard to bring you the best care possible. We encourage you to further research the COSMED technology at their official website.

Here is some of what COSMED evaluates:

• Underlying Cardiovascular or Pulmonary Disease
• Based on your oxygen consumption, how well your body uses fat as a fuel source
• With the COSMED results, specialists can prescribe a cardiovascular fitness program that will teach your body how to burn more fat while exercising
• Your resting metabolic rate and how many calories you need per day, whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, or just health improvement
• With the COSMED results, specialists can give accurate nutritional guidance based on your individual metabolic rate and fitness goals

Imagine being able to push your body to its best performance! The COSMED equipment will let us more accurately determine when your body burns fat and carbohydrates. The individualized information will provide us with the tools to make your fitness and wellness goals a reality!

A key component in the two-part equation to a ‘healthier you’ is proper nutrition. Our Wellness Center team acknowledges and embraces this reality, and integrates nutrition resources and proper diet tips in with their fitness coaching, to train the body, while feeding it with the proper nutrients for optimal health.

The NACA Wellness Center provides members with guidance on how to build healthy eating and meal choice habits, to maximize the benefits of the regular fitness regimen. Whether it is glucose control, high blood pressure, or Crohn’s Disease, etc., there is no condition too big or too small to ask for our Registered Dietitian’s help. In addition to one-on-one referral sessions, we offer an Honoring the Gift of Heart Health class series for anyone interested in learning how to improve their heart health, or support a loved one’s journey to better heart health.

In addition, we provide the community with quick, affordable, and healthy recipe suggestions that will satisfy the whole family!
