Fitness & Spa Packages - Meet your fitness goals and reward your muscles!


Scott Lacroix, director of the Verandah Club and V-Spa at the Hilton Anatole hotel, was recently interviewed for an article in the Dallas Morning News about fitness trends for 2009.


One of the hottest and most effective fitness techniques is Kinesis Movement Training at the Verandah Club.

From the article:

"Kinesis training, which originated in Italy, is 'group personal training combining the benefits of pilates, yoga, core and extremity strength training,' says Cara Young, health club manager at the Verandah Club.

Rather than training one muscle group in isolation, kinesis trains muscles in integrated groups to work together."

Students burn an additional 30% more calories in a 30 minute workout with Kinesis.

The V Spa at the Hilton Anatole has the perfect fitness and spa package to help you meet your fitness goals for 2009.
