Fill out the form to get started
When new clients reach out to us at Integra Fitness, one of the first things we ask is: “What are your goals?”
The answers are usually about aesthetics or performance — looking toned, building strength, or losing fat. Those are great goals (they were mine when I first started training), but they’re not the only reason people stick with exercise long-term.
For most of us, it’s the way training makes us feel that keeps us coming back.
The Mental Health Connection
The numbers don’t lie:
- 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men report symptoms of anxiety.
- Roughly 1 in 4 adults experience symptoms of depression.
Exercise has been shown to reduce anxiety and depression, boost self-esteem, improve sleep, and relieve stress. Even if you don’t struggle with mental health issues, consistent training helps you show up more energized, focused, and present — for work, for family, and for yourself.
The Bigger Picture
The CDC recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week, plus at least 2 days of strength training. Yet only about 1 in 4 adults actually meet these guidelines.
That’s where we come in. At Integra, we believe fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all. Yes, we’re big proponents of strength training, but ultimately the best form of exercise is the one you enjoy and can stick with consistently.
My Why
Like many, I started training to look good. But over time, my “why” changed.
Now, I train to:
- Relieve stress
- Stay focused
- Boost my energy
- Show up better for my business, my family, and myself
The physical results matter — but it’s the mental clarity and resilience that make training indispensable.
