The benefits of physical exercise for men, women, and children
Our programs offer a variety of practical courses for men, women and children. As societal pressures make daily life both increasingly hectic and sedentary it is tremendously important to allocate time for physical exercise. Our programs will help you and your family maintain a healthy bodyweight, fight disease, improve your mood and mental health, boost your energy levels, sleep soundly through the night, and most importantly...Have fun!
Complete Physical Fitness Program
Training involves every aspect of athleticism: balance, coordination, strength, endurance, and flexibility. Training is both aerobic and anaerobic. Additionally, our classes are progressive; as students advance, the workouts become more complex, strenuous, and demanding.
Promotes Mental Awareness
An essential part of physical exercise is awareness and control of your body. Our students learn how to move better and more efficiently, listen to what their bodies are telling them. Physical exercise also improves function of the brain.
Develops Self-Discipline
Self-discipline isn't just for kids. Our training systems allow adult students to set short-term goals and then strive to meet those goals. Working toward goals in an exercise program in a structured setting
carries over into other areas of life: college, continuing education, family, hobbies, and careers.
Increases Self-Confidence
According to a study published in Psychology Today, those who work out regularly have less anxiety, a greater sense of responsibility, are less likely to take uninformed risks, and are more socially intelligent.
Reduces Stress
There's nothing like sweating it out at the end of a long day at work. Physical exercise and working out is a safe outlet for frustrations at work, home, or during the commute. By training at Dragon Gym you will be in the best shape of your life, exude confidence, and Melt away Stress. Everyday you will feel challenged, strong, and have an unmatched energy level. Your children will feel confident, proud, and excited. You will feel satisfied about the strong advantage you have given them in life.
