Miracles Fitness specializes in personal training for the over – 40

Remember that resolution you make every New Year’s? You know the one—this year I’ll work out every day. Never lasts, does it?

Miracles Fitness, one of the area’s newest fitness facilities, is here to help you keep that resolution and achieve the fitness you want.

Miracles Fitness opened in January 2007. The Lafayette location is the 6th one in the country. “This is a very young, exciting franchise,” said Dan Ritchie, co-owner with Cody Sipe.

Though the franchise is young, the facility is not geared toward the typical muscle-bound fitness buff. Instead, Miracles Fitness specializes in fitness for the over-40 set. “We cater to folks that aren’t comfortable in a typical health club,” explained Ritchie.

The company was founded by registered nurse Dottie Drake, who became interested in helping people achieve personal fitness after witnessing the results of the modern sedentary lifestyle.

“I want to teach you to be healthy, not sick and disabled. There is almost no disease process that can’t be prevented, reversed or at least controlled by a program consisting of a healthy low fat diet and exercise program,” said Drake.

To help clients, Miracles Fitness has a staff of personal trainers. Six of the trainers have master’s degrees in health, fitness or exercise and 3 have bachelor’s degrees in those areas. Said Ritchie, “We only hire trainers with degrees in the field. We have the most qualified educated personal trainers in the Lafayette market.”

That personal attention makes the difference at Miracles Fitness. Trainers are available at all times.

Clients at Miracles Fitness appreciate the caring atmosphere. “They know we care about them and know them by name. We are dedicated to developing the overall well-being and health of each individual who seeks our support,”Ritchie said.

As added bonuses, Miracles Fitness has flexible membership options, so clients do not have to make a yearlong financial commitment up front. Massage therapy is also available at the Center for Health Enrichment.
