Bryant speaks at Ville Platte Rotary meeting

SureFit Fitness owner Julie Bryant was the guest speaker at the Oct. 11 Ville Platte Rotary Club meeting.
Bryant said, “How many times have you been to a fitness place or a gym and you walk in and sometimes you don’t feel like you belong or you fit in? I came up with SureFit because you are going to fit in and you are going to feel welcome and like you belong here.
“It also has a double meaning. I specialize in corrective medicine.”
Bryant has an exercise science degree, and she is certified with National Academy of Sports Medicine. SureFit Fitness is located at 1508 East Main St. in Ville Platte, and the contact number is (318) 780-8227.
Bryant said that at SureFit Fitness, every exercise is designed for each person, not for the person sitting nearby.
“We all have a different size body, we all have different medical needs and we all have just different needs. So the SureFit is not all that you feel you fit in, but your body is going to fit in as well.”
Services available at SureFit Fitness include corrective exercises, functional fitness training, yoga, balance training, flexibility, strength and cardio.
“With corrective exercise, as we age or as we go through our daily lives, our bodies contort to our habits,” Bryant said. “Sometimes we work at a computer all day. Or sometimes we have to weat heels all day. Our body folds and bends into these positions.”
Bryant said sitting at a computer can eventually contort the shoulders, and that after years, it is often hard to fix and to bring the shoulders back.
“With corrective exercsise, you can bring balance back to the body,” Bryant said. “It has been shown that with rounded shoulders, you lose lack of blood flow, oxygen, to the brain, resulting in headaches and migraines, things like that
“If you are used to wearing high heels all the time and your calf muscles are constantly flexed, that can actually cause hip pain, knee pain and things like that.”
Bryant said corrective exercise corrects the things in a person’s environment that they do to his or her body.
Eunice Rifle Club President Drew Miller was the guest speaker at the Oct. 4 meeting. The club, which began in 1968, has 342 members, and the facility has both rifle and skeet ranges.
