The “Why” of Type One Fitness
Type One Fitness is a boutique fitness center with a unique focus on diabetes wellness that is open to everyone. Type One Fitness provides a place where the type 1 diabetes community can find support for the autoimmune disease and end the stigma of what type 1 diabetes is and who it affects through education and awareness programming. Type One Fitness provides a fully integrated health program for type 1 diabetes patients and the general public. The center offers a place for real time conversation and education for those living with type 1 diabetes. A place that improves the lives of others in the community by offering support not only for individuals with diabetes, but also for parents and caregivers, partners, siblings and friends as well. Outside of a medical facility, there is currently no facility that welcomes and merges a comprehensive type 1 diabetes connection with the general public. Type One Fitness does just that while enabling those affected by the disease to obtain any non-medical support that they need. 

Type One Fitness is the brainchild of Type One, Inc. founders Paul Foti and Tyson Sunnerberg. Sunnerberg was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 21 years old and knows firsthand that the right resources and support make all the difference in the world when it comes to managing this disease. Five years ago, at the age of five, Sunnerberg’s daughter Elyse was also diagnosed with type 1, which intensified his drive toward a cure, and provided a firsthand understanding of the constant challenges the entire family faces when living with an individual with type 1 diabetes.

Offering fitness, nutrition and support, the center is open Monday – Thursday 5:30 – 11 AM and 2 – 7 PM, Friday 5:30 – 11 AM and 2 – 5 PM, and Saturday – Sunday 8 AM – 12 PM.

About Type One, Inc.
Type One, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recognizes a world free of type 1 diabetes and is dedicated to that future by raising public awareness and funds toward a cure through research. Type One, Inc. was founded in 2012 by a group of South Shore residents to support their friend Tyson Sunnerberg, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, when he was 21 years old. On November 25, 2012, the first ever Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race was held raising awareness and funds toward a cure. Since then, Type One, Inc. has incorporated the Type One Cares campaign which is dedicated to building a community to assist those affected by type 1 diabetes with support, education and endowment, so they can live a powerful life beyond the diagnosis. In their commitment to expanding and enhancing support for the many families and individuals living with diabetes throughout the South Shore, Type One, Inc. has recently taken the next big step and launched Type One Fitness in Norwell, MA, the first athletic center with a focus on diabetes wellness that is dedicated to building a culture of good health, well-being and inclusion for youth and families.

Army veteran takes on fitness with a sense of duty. Patrick S. Lydon named Assistant Area Director of FitWorx.

Pat Lydon photo 08 09 16Coming off of active duty in Korea, Patrick “Pat” S. Lydon, Army Medic, wanted to contribute something to the community and stay active in fitness.  He helped open the first FitWorx location in Pembroke three years ago and continued to help the company grow.  He has been named Assistant Area Director for the entire group which now includes not only Pembroke, but Weymouth, Easton and West Roxbury locations as well.

 

A Quincy resident and Braintree native, Lydon is a graduate of Braintree High School and earned an Exercise Science degree from Quincy College.   He also achieved American Council of Exercise certification as a personal trainer.  He captained the lacrosse team and lettered in football as Braintree High School.

 

“I had always been involved in sports and fitness,” noted Lydon.  He added, “I saw that baby boomers and others were looking to get back in shape and were in need of better instruction and programming.  I was drawn to the FitWorx philosophy of losing weight and building muscle via three 30-minute strength-training workouts per week and a high protein diet. Working one on one with members, it has been gratifying to be part of something that is transforming the lives of the 85 percent of the American public who hate to workout.”

 

FitWorx, the “non-gym” solution for a healthy lifestyle and weight loss with four locations in Massachusetts, supplements that effort by offering high quality, great tasting protein snacks and meal replacement shakes.

 

Get with the Program

FitWorx helps real people achieve a realistic weight loss goal with manageable, proven approaches to weight loss and fitness. FitWorx training and nutrition program is designed to help members reduce body fat percentage by increasing lean muscle by up to 10 pounds. It achieves this through three 30-minute strength-training workouts per week and a high protein diet. Typically, participants can increase their metabolism by up to 500 calories per day, or 3500 calories per week or one pound of fat per week at a resting heart rate.

 

Langella continued, “The FitWorx program sets participants, in particular those with sedentary lifestyles, weight issues or medical conditions such as High Blood Pressure, Type II Diabetes and High Cholesterol, on the path to weight loss and an overall healthier lifestyle.”

Mass Bay Spine & Sport Physical Therapy Advises a Slow & Steady Shape Up to Avoid Injury

Brendan Carman, MPT, Director of Rehabilitation
Spring is the season when many people renew their fitness goals. According to Brendan Carman, MPT, Director of Rehabilitation at Mass Bay Spine & Sport Physical Therapy (MBSSPT), getting back into shape is a process that shouldn’t be rushed. Jumping into a fitness program or class after a significant exercise hiatus of more than three months, could cause serious injury.

Carman, who is a Physical Therapist and certified Athletic Trainer at MBSSPT explained that exercise-induced injuries occur when a person tries to do too much, too quickly to attain fitness goals. The most common injuries are:

Achilles tendonitis and other foot/ankle injuries. Achilles tendon injuries often occur with running or sudden stopping and starting movements in sports such as tennis and basketball.

Knee pain: weak and/or deconditioned muscles in your legs don’t provide the necessary support to the joints to maintain proper alignment. This can result in excessive loading of the joints with higher level activities causing increased wear and tear, inflammation, and pain.

Back pain, often the result of weak abdominal and back stabilizing muscles, can be exacerbated by high impact activities or those involving significant bending, twisting, or lifting.

“We have seen an increase in the number of clients coming into our clinic to be treated for muscle/joint strains after initiating a new exercise program like Zumba classes or Cross Fit training. As we age, especially beyond our thirties and forties, our bodies become more susceptible to injury and recovery time takes longer. It takes time for the body and muscles to get used to new movement and new challenges,” said Carman.

He continued, “The problem is that many people decide they want to get back in shape but they want to get it back immediately. They throw themselves into a running or exercise program full steam ahead, and end up with an Achilles tendon rupture, rotator cuff injury or other injury that puts them completely out of commission. There are so many great options for getting healthy and stronger, but none of them can help if you end up sidelined with a preventable injury.”

Mass Bay Spine & Sport advises that prevention is the key. Listen to the body and get back into shape gradually, without injury. Start slowly with a walking program followed by stretching. Obtain guidance on an exercise program from a medical professional.
