With the looming prospect of the COVID19 emergency extending over the next many months, NorthBay Healthcare has made the difficult decision to keep HealthSpring Fitness closed indefinitely. We will continue to monitor proposed safety practices for opening fitness centers but because HealthSpring is a medical fitness center, we must set safety standards considerably higher than a typical workout gym. We created a unique facility open to the general public, but one that also s...erves patients undergoing rehab and cancer treatment. Many of our members are older and are more at risk than members in a typical gym setting. We will continue to update you with information about our facility as we learn more and the situation evolves. We have compiled some frequently asked questions to assist during this transition please view here: https://www.northbay.org/hsfclosure/. If you have any questions that are still unanswered, please call us at (707) 624-8080 or email [email protected].

Get your body moving and heart pumping with some combat and power training. https://watch.lesmillsondemand.com//bodycombat-invincible-

The tempo squat is a challenging exercise that can be used test your strength while developing control, timing, and to practice proper breathing and bracing when lifting heavy loads. The tempo squat removes the stretch reflex and shifts the focus onto the muscle itself to perform the work to move the load. Personal Trainer Keith Barlett gives us two ways to complete a tempo squat. Standing (1) With the load applied to the body (or standing upright with no weight) begin by tak...ing a deep belly breath in and contracting the abdomen to provide support. The Descent (2) Begin the descent by flexing at the knees and hip at the same time, taking a minimum of five seconds to descend into the bottom position, which is the lowest point you can go while maintaining your balance. Breathing during this portion is acceptable, but only enough to maintain abdominal pressure. The Pause (2) In the bottom position, pause for a minimum one second (or as long as you can manage), taking a breath as necessary while maintaining abdominal pressure. The Ascent (1) The ascent begins by contracting the gluteal muscles and driving the load directly upwards, taking a minimum of three seconds to lift the load to the starting position.
