Reported by: Dana Arquilla Wednesday, Feb 27, 2008 @11:27am CST It's a club that doesn't focus so much on being physically fit, as it does on being mentally and emotionally healthy.
Club Round caters to "plus-sized people." It's not a health club...rather a club that promotes health at every size. "We try to approach health and lifestyle as a way for plus size women to be happy and healthy in the body they already have," says founder Dr. Lisa Breisch. Dr. Breisch is also a licensed psychotherapist. She says body hatred has become an epidemic-an epidemic she hopes to cure; at least for her members. "Research has found that being healthy by eating well, nutritiously, by having movement and exercise...all of our bodies need that. But we don't focus on weight loss." The artwork on the walls, and trinkets decorating the room, symbolize the members of the club: From children to adults, size 0 to size 50. Members gather for different club functions. Most recently added are stretch class, and belly dancing lessons. For more information on classes, just go to www.clubround.com. |
