NexGym: Keeping Youth Fit
Welcome to the future of exercise! NexGym is a fitness franchise that began motivating children to exercise through video-game inspired workouts. Canadian gym, Bulldog Interactive Fitness, has developed this trend even further. Founder Holly Bond, while struggling to help battle her own son’s weight problem, further developed the idea of exercise-gaming. Children 3 and up can participate in PS2 game bikes, Dance Revolution machines and even simulated mountain-climbing treadwalls. For kids, this idea may seem more like extreme gaming then exercising! Although a local branch is currently unavailable, franchising and licensing information is available online. Anyone?

An Equal Opportunity Problem
New Infertility Test
Infertility is not just looked at as ‘woman’s issue’ anymore. In fact, 1/3 of all fertility problems relate back to the man in the relationship. That’s why the new, male infertility sperm test from Baby Start (recently approved by the FDA) has become so popular. While this test doesn’t identify issues such as sperm mobility and shape, it does measure concentration of sperm. Low sperm count can be directly related to fertility problems.
