SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Oct. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Alaris, known for helping fitness clubs go fully digital by streamlining check-in experiences and improving operations, has announced a new partnership with ABC Fitness Solutions. Together, the companies have developed Camps by Alaris, a seamlessly integrated solution that will allow ABC Fitness Solutions’ customers with expanded service offerings, such as kids club, afterschool programs and camps, to streamline and centralize online registration and digital check-in experiences The solution also provides dynamic reporting insights, which empower owners to make critical, cost-saving decisions, and has enhanced check-out security to ensure child safety and peace of mind for parents.

“For over a decade, Alaris has been helping Health Clubs unlock value by streamlining their Camp and Childcare programming. Especially important in today’s environment, improved Camp offerings have been shown to both improve member retention and drive much needed additional revenue. We are excited to partner with ABC Fitness Solutions on this fully integrated solution to provide value to the thousands of clubs that they serve,” says Jeremy Kelstrom, Founder & CEO of Alaris.

According to Jennifer Mellet, Chief Revenue Officer at ABC, a lot of their customers currently rely on manual processes for secondary and programmatic revenue streams. “This is critical functionality for a growing sector, and until now we have not been able to service our customers effectively.” Youth programs in health clubs have seen a 300% increase over the last 25 years and are very profitable.

Camps by Alaris is the latest addition to ABC IGNITE, ABC’s next generation fitness club management solution. “We’re on a mission to promote heathier lives by helping clubs put their members first. This is another step in our journey to redefine how fitness operators and their members interact with technology to reach their respective goals. Mentally and physically kids benefit from movement as much as their parents do,” continues Mellet, a mother of 2 tween girls.

Camps by Alaris will launch in October of 2021 at IHRSA in Dallas, Texas and will be readily available to customers of ABC Fitness Solutions. Both ABC and Alaris will be exhibiting at IHRSA 2021 in Dallas, TX. Please visit them at booths 100 and 1303,

Soha Ali Khan Column: Actress spills lockdown fitness secrets, shares favourite Dussehra recipe | Health

Soha Ali Khan Column: Growing up I saw my mother balance family life and work effortlessly. In many ways, she has inspired me to become the person I am today, and a lot of my habits and mantras are borrowed from the way she managed her household and family. All my life, I have been surrounded by people who hold health and fitness in high regard. So, working out regularly and eating right is something that has been naturally ingrained in me since childhood, and it’s something I live by even as an adult.

‘My routine helps in setting the right example for Inaaya’

I make sure to exercise every day for a minimum of 30 minutes and start with Yoga. I also make sure I complete 10,000 steps every day. If nothing, I walk around the house and terrace, taking breaks in between activities to ensure I am not sedentary for long hours. Since I also have a young child at home, who is constantly seeing what I do and tries to emulate me. This routine also helps in setting the right example for Inaaya.

Eating healthy, snacking mindfully

During the pandemic, I have become even more committed to my family and my own health and lifestyle. I have made sure to follow a well-balanced diet, which includes a variety of nutrients which helps in nourishing the body, while also strengthening the immune system. Besides eating healthy, I also make sure I snack mindfully. Almonds are my go-to snack as they are a source of 15 nutrients such as vitamin E, magnesium, protein, riboflavin, zinc, etc. These nutrients are important to help grow your muscle mass and keep you energetic through the day.

Our Dussehra special recipe

With Inaaya, I ensure that her day is balanced with healthy meals and snacks in between, light exercise and fun-filled activities. She’s a very curious person, and she loves engaging with things – especially her food. She’s very fond of participating in the process of the food being prepared, and often I try to involve her too while making something special. We both love cake, but as someone who is very conscious about what we eat, I try to bake using healthier alternatives. With Dussehra around the corner, launching us into the festive season, both of us

Best Biowellness Tests to Hack Your Health: Levels, Everlywell, and More

By this stage you’ve probably seen athletes of all walks running around with a big black dot on the back of their arm. It’s a wearable—a sensor, actually—called Levels ethat helps you understand how your body utilizes carbs (more on this below).

It used to be that you could only get specialized health tests on a doctor’s orders—now, you can mail in blood, saliva and urine tests without ever putting pants on. This shift from outpatient to at-home testing is thanks to advances in sample collection. Whether you’re sending in your samples or going to Quest Diagnostics, the science is basically the same, says Kamal Obbad, co-founder and CEO of Nebula Genomics.

The issue is in interpreting the results. When your doc orders a lab test, they know your history and review your data with that in mind. But when an algorithm spits out recommendations in an app (with oversight from a physician you’ve never engaged with), “be carefeeul about considering that information diagnostic.” Translation: Don’t make any medical decisions based on an at-home test. “Talk to an expert about your results whenever possible.”

What you can use these at-home tests for is optimizing diet and fitness so you feel and perform better.

1. Levels: Best for Optimizing Diet

Glucose—which comes from carbs—is your body’s fastest, most accessible form of fuel. Head into a workout without enough in your system and you’re likely to bonk. This biowearable uses a small sensor (stuck on your upper arm) to monitor blood sugar levels 24/7 for two weeks at a time. Manually log workouts and meals via its app, and you’ll see live feedback as to how those impact your glucose so you can tweak habits to feel and perform your best.

2. Inside Tracker: Best for Fitness and Performance Insights

This blood test (go to a lab or have a technician come to your home) analyzes up to 43 biomarkers involved with energy, metabolism, strength and endurance. Tack on the DNA test to see how 261 genetic markers influence your athletic potential. From there, the app flags problem areas and delivers custom interventions—“have one serving of probiotics each day” or “aim for three 20-minute HIIT workouts per week”—that can help you level up.

Why we need an office of men’s health | Health & Fitness

Dear Healthy Men: More than a year ago, I read a column of yours that mentioned that while there are several Offices of Women’s Health in the federal government, there isn’t a corresponding Office of Men’s Health. Is that still true? And if not, why not?

A: The answer to your first question is easy: There are still five federally funded Offices of Women’s Health: at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA). The combined annual budgets of these offices is in the tens of millions of dollars. In addition, the Office of Research for Women’s Health within the National Institutes of Health (NIH) – one of several research agencies focusing exclusively on women’s health – has a $5 billion annual budget.

As part of a nationwide effort to put outdoor exercise areas in all 50 states, the AARP opened a fitness park this week in Tulsa’s historic Greenwood District.

The fitness center, located at 698 E. Jasper St. in the B.S. Roberts Park near Langston University-Tulsa, features elliptical machines, pull-up bars, stair steppers and other equipment for cardiovascular exercise and strength training.

The equipment was designed for all ages and abilities and is free to use, the AARP said.

“Health and well-being are central to our lives,” said AARP CEO Jo Ann Jenkins, adding that outdoor fitness parks have become “particularly important as we navigate new phases of staying active during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
