FITOLOGY is a new concept that will reshape the relationship individuals have with healthy living. The idea took root from two exercise interventions conducted in partnership with The Pennsylvania State University and Les Mills International. During the inaugural research study, Get Fit Together, participants who exercised less than 30 minutes per day completed a 30-week protocol to determine if group fitness alone could reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Compared to baseline, the final measurements demonstrated that the participants had significant reductions in body fat, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and depression as well as elevations in lean body mass, and self-confidence. To add, 80% of the participants continued their new health routines on their own after the conclusion of the study.
Lessons were learned from that groundbreaking research and became the foundation for FITOLOGY: (1) starting the exercise routine gradually minimized injury and maximized adherence, (2) knowing and monitoring health numbers, such as body fat and cholesterol, improved commitment to the program, (3) wearing a heart monitor provided motivation with daily feedback on how intensity relates to calories, (4) comprehensive Les Mills programs and certified instructors enhanced both performance as well as safety, and (5) working out in a group yielded psychological and social benefits.

That concept is FITOLOGY.
The missing component in most gyms and health clubs today is health measures for members.
FITOLOGY fills that void with its unique approach to meeting the fitness and health needs of the State College community: a program started by Penn State Kinesiology PhD's.
FITOLOGY offers unlimited Les Mills group fitness and cycling classes in addition to biannual, on-site nutrition and accountability programs.
We will collect (1) a fasting blood sample for glucose tolerance, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels, (2) body measurements for fat mass estimations, (3) oxygen consumption for a metric of cardiovascular efficiency, (4) upper and lower body, as well as, core strength tests.
