Whether you want to lose weight, gain muscle, tone up or improve your overall health, new year resolutions are the No. 1 reason people of all fitness levels decide to join a conveniently located gym. Here are our top seven reasons to join Odyssey Health Club right NOW!
1. Get Healthy
As part of our Membership Journey, we can set you up with a balanced program that includes both aerobic and strength training exercises. These promote heart health and weight loss, help prevent osteoporosis and improve muscle strength, balance and flexibility. 2. Find Support and Motivation
If you find exercise a chore, being surrounded by other people who are in the same boat can provide the incentive you need to make exercise part of your regular routine. 3. Get Stress Relief
Physical activity boosts the brain’s production of endorphins, which simply
makes us feel better physically and have a brighter emotional outlook. For many people, the gym becomes a bit of sanctuary where you can turn off the phone and forget all of the troubles at work or in your personal life. 4. Learn From the Pros
All of our Fitness Coaches are trained to design exercise programs that fit your individual needs in a fun and safe way, showing you proper exercise techniques so that you don’t hurt yourself and that you get the most out of each exercise routine. 5. Sample the Variety
One of the big advantages of Odyssey Health Club is the wide variety in equipment and facilities. This gives you the opportunity
to try new exercise equipment and vary your routine. 6. Learn From Each Other
Inevitably you’ll see the people around you doing exercises that are new to you and may look sort of fun. Ask our Fitness Coaches what that exercise is meant to accomplish and about the proper form to do it right. 7. Energetic Classes
Many people find exercise classes to be the most efficient and fun way to get a full body workout. We have the BEST energetic leaders to help provide you with some extra energy and motivation.

Detox Recipe by Ben Rule, Odyssey Chef
Members often ask me how to put together this Odyssey menu favourite. Not only is it very easy to make at home, but it also includes some great ‘superfood’ ingredients in it which can help aid in liver cleansing, your weightloss goals and overall liver detoxification.
Serves 2 • 200g mixed quinoa • 150g fine beans • 100g tinned chick peas • A large handful of baby spinach • A few leaves of both basil and flat leaf parsley finely chopped • Mixed seeds (pumpkin, sesame and sunflower) • Bayleaf and 2 cloves of garlic • Half a lemon First drain and rinse the chick peas, drizzle with a few drops of the coconut oil and bake at 220°C for about 20/30mins turning occasionally. Meanwhile, cook the quinoa in a pan of simmering water with a bayleaf or two and a couple of cloves of garlic. This will take about 15 to 20 mins but check the packet as times can vary a little.
01438 313320
Towards the end of the cooking time, lightly toast the seeds under the grill and blanch and drain the fine beans in boiling, salted water for 3 mins. When cooked, drain thoroughly and drop into a mixing bowl adding the crunchy chick peas, quinoa, baby spinach, chopped herbs and the remainder of the coconut oil. Season to taste, toss all ingredients together and dish up on warm plates served with a wedge of lemon. To make this meal a little more substantial, simply add some grilled chicken, seared seabass or even some flaked poached salmon.
Happy New Year and bon appetite!

Metabolic Afterburn One of the biggest unknown and misunderstood subjects within fitness is Metabolic Afterburn. One of the most important things to remember when exercising is that it is not the amount of calories you burn during a workout but the amount of calories your body continues to burn after a workout that counts. Metabolic Afterburn is one of the biggest contributors to weight loss and the way in which you train will determine the amount of Metabolic Afterburn you achieve. There are 2 main types of training: firstly we have ‘Steady State Training’, this is where you train at the same intensity for a given time e.g. 20 mins at level 4 on a bike. The other type of training is called ‘Interval Based Training’, this is done by changing the intensity of a workout at specific times e.g. 1 min walk on treadmill followed by 30 seconds sprint repeated several times.
Interval based training is what raises your Metabolic Afterburn by basically shocking the body’s metabolism into continuing to burn calories for hours after a gym session. The intensity of a workout is more important than the duration of a workout. When we train in this way we also change the component structure of our bodies. Resistance training is a huge part of this. Resistance interval training will help develop and increase muscle within our bodies whilst also reducing the amount of body fat we have. The more muscle we have in our body the more calories we burn at rest, this basically means that if we increase muscle within the body we burn more calories at rest. For example, for every 3kg of muscle we gain we burn an extra 300 calories per day, in other words we burn 300 calories for FREE! It’s a win-win situation!

Testimonial “I have taken away a lot of information from Team Dynamix and have been able to implement it into my life after the course finished. I know what foods to stay away from if I want to avoid the mid-afternoon slump I used to get at work, and the best form of exercise for fat loss, as well as coming away with lots of recipes for healthier meals that taste great and are easy to make. My starting weight was 78kgs with 17.5% body fat and a BMI of 24.6. At the end of the 4 week course I was down to 74.3kgs with 14.7% body fat and a BMI of 23.5. This is a great improvement compared to the couple of pounds I have managed to lose by myself in the past.”
Team Dynamix is the fastest and healthiest way to lose weight on the planet. Our foundation programme is Team Dynamix Weight Loss and is a 4 week, 12 session, structured group exercise with cutting edge nutrition. Developed by fitness expert and international presenter, Steve Jack.

Diet vs. Cleanse After Christmas is the natural time for everyone to refocus their eating habits. As a rule we all relax over Christmas and consume a variety of rich foods, sugar, alcohol – all the nice things in life!
Traditional Dieting
Historically people always veer towards a ‘diet’ as the first choice of looking at changing food habits, but the question is ‘Should you diet or should you cleanse?’
2. A smaller body means an increased percentage of impurities in relation to body mass.
One of the ways the liver deals with impurities is to increase bodyfat. The fat enfolds these impurities in order to protect the body from their influence. Diets are generally not successful for long-term weight loss because they don’t address the need to cleanse the body of impurities.

1. Fat is stored to protect the body from Impurities.
3. The body senses the increased level of impurities and goes into emergency fat production... REBOUND.
completely changed my life as previously I worked in London as a Solicitor. This was no longer possible and the long term effects of my accident were loss of smell and taste, back seizures, and major migraines. My back would seize all the time and I would be completely incapacitated and in immense pain. To get myself back on my feet and reduce my pain, I undertook several degrees and courses including: Astanga Yoga, Massage, Ayurvedic medicine, Western Herbal Medicine, Western Nutritional Medicine and Naturopathic
Medicine. I also undertook numerous and various diagnostic test over that period to fully understand how to get back on my feet and to be the healthiest I possibly could be.’ Deborah will be starting her clinic here at the club in the new year.

Cleansing 1. Fat is stored to protect the body from impurities. 2. Impurities are released so the body sheds its fat. 3. The result is better overall health with less fat and more lean muscle.
So instead of going for the same old diet try and introduce some of the following foods to help cleanse your body of toxins and give it the best start possible this New Year. 1. Garlic – helps to activate liver enzymes that flush out toxins. Garlic also holds high amounts of allicin and selenium, two natural components that aid in liver cleansing. 2. Beets & Carrots - Both are extremely high in plant-flavonoids and beta-carotene; eating beets and carrots can help stimulate and improve overall liver function. 3. Green Tea - This liver-loving beverage is full of plant antioxidants known as catechins, a compound known to assist liver function.

Detoxing with The Spa New Year, new start, new you! Here at Odyssey Spa we have all the tools to help kick start your 2016 to be the best and healthiest year ever! Many of us have good intentions to eat cleaner, exercise more often and pamper ourselves more regularly; however the reality of sticking to it can sometimes be tricky. So we’ve put together a few top tips to help turn your January detox into an easy, year round plan. Eat – eating smaller, balanced portions more regularly is healthier than cutting out whole food groups from your diet. Aim to include 5-9 fruit and veg portions per day and use spices and herbs to bring your food to life. Drink – 2 litres of water a day. Keeping hydrated is key for the body to function correctly, it boosts your metabolism and flushes toxins from the body leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalised. Add a green tea bag or a slice of lemon for extra anti-oxidant properties. Exercise – incorporate exercise in to your daily routine by walking faster, using the stairs instead of a lift or parking further from your destination and walking the rest of the way.
Book in – we have a range of treatments to help with your detox, such as the Elemis Body Sculpting Cellulite & Colon Therapy. This detoxifying treatment targets stubborn cellulite, boosts the digestive system and ensures a deep cleanse from the inside out.
Use – products high in anti-oxidants will help to protect your skin from harmful pollutants as well as replenishing your complexion from within. We recommend Elemis Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules to help give your skin the boost it needs after a busy festive season.
