As people age, there is an inevitable loss of skeletal muscle, resulting in the reduction of strength and power. Most adults reach their peak muscle mass around the age of 40, but without proper nutrition and exercise, people can lose up to 3-5 percent of their muscle mass after the age of 40. That's why countermeasures taken earlier in life can prevent disability later. Muscle Matters is a monitored resistance, metabolic conditioning exercise and nutritional program designed to decrease or reverse the muscle strength losses that arise in the course of aging.

Today, about two-thirds of Americans are either overweight or obese, and it's estimated that up to 50 percent of adults are insulin resistant. This program is a combined resistance, metabolic conditioning and nutritional program designed to improve insulin sensitivity, and decrease fat weight when needed.

Cancer and other diseases that result in muscle wasting (loss) can reduce endurance, function, and quality of life. The Resiliency Program is a monitored exercise program for individuals undergoing treatment or in remission from cancer and other muscle wasting diseases designed to recondition or maintain cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle strength, mass, and functional capabilities.

Access to a gym can be a barrier for exercise. Some may not feel comfortable in a gym space because of the global pandemic or may prefer the convenience of exercising at home. The Performing Live Program provides an array of fitness opportunities including in home strength training, metabolic fitness, and yoga classes scaled so that anyone at any age or disability status can benefit. These fun, positive, high energy classes are available live or you can watch and participate later with on demand options.

Peak performance requires an athlete to possess elite levels strength, power, speed, agility, balance, and metabolic conditioning. Each sport is unique and the relative contribution depends on the demands of the position and game. Inadequacies in the physical requirements necessary for the sport could stunt performance or lead to injury.  HHPI provides comprehensive sport-specific testing batteries for soccer, football, baseball, softball, swimming, wrestling, among other sports that are age appropriate and state-of-the-art.     

Police officers, fire fighters, emergency personnel and other first responders play an essential role in society. Due to the rigorous and unpredictable nature of their job duties, they must maintain a constant state of physical readiness. Moreover, the stress of their jobs can negatively impact health, leading to early onset of chronic diseases. The Fit for Duty Program involves task specific testing, strength training and metabolic conditioning as well as health screening opportunities.

Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can be devastating, leading to long-term and unpredictable symptoms. Recovery involves management of clinical symptoms at rest and gradual reintroduction of physical exertion. This program provides monitored rehabilitation, testing and development of novel tools and protocols to better define optimal recovery and safe return to sport or activity after a TBI.
