A recent survey of North American adults reports almost half of those asked said they “sometimes or always” feel left out or lonely.
It’s part of what some are calling a “loneliness epidemic.”
As one of NRG’s creators, Sarah Terrion aimed to make a fitness centre in Uxbridge that is inclusive, sincerely friendly and welcoming. With a passion for physical and mental well-being, NRG 4 Life Fitness was developed with a vision of a ‘Fitness Facility where everyone feels welcome’.
Global Health Service company Cigna reports that those who dedicate more time to face – to – face conversation and daily exercise feel substantially less alone than those who do not.
Growing up Sarah was more than familiar with ‘being the last kid picked’ for any team sport and feels a close connection to how intimidating it can be stepping foot in a gym for the first time. Therefore, NRG’s hand-picked staff are genuinely welcoming, and look forward to hearing about your day, keeping up with your goals, motivating you through the lull’s, and congratulating you on your successes. Unlike the common big box gyms, we hope our members never feel like a number. Its all of you as members that are helping us reach our goal ‘Strengthening Uxbridge one person at a time’. All of this contributes to the sense of belonging we hope each one of our existing and future members feel.
