t Lifebridge, our biggest difference is that we’re medically based, part of Northwest/ Sinai hospitals,” says spokesman David Rew. It’s the place to go if you’re out of cardiac rehab, have diabetes, Parkinson’s, or had a joint replacement. But even the physically fit will be challenged in new ways, Rew promises. The club’s faceto-face approach assures you’ll get the advice and support you need for real results. “It’s not just about weight loss, but about flexibility, body fat percentage and range of motion. There are 110 classes a week to choose from, plus aquatic pools and the amenities of a country club.” - Lifebridge, Pikesville
