When it comes to health and wellness, most people are aware of the importance of diet and exercise, but did you know that having a supportive community that encourages a healthy, happy lifestyle is also a top predictor of longevity?
Unfortunately in our modern world, rates of loneliness have increased. Fewer and fewer people are joining community organizations, and more and more are spending more time on their computers and phones. According to the American Psychiatric Association, early in 2024, 30% of adults reported feelings of loneliness at least once per week over the past year, and 10% reported feeling lonely every day.
When we socially isolate ourselves, we increase our risk of premature death from all causes; a probability that’s equivalent to more commonly known causes such as obesity, smoking, and lack of physical activity. Social isolation has also been associated with higher rates of depression and anxiety.
At HYLO, we are passionate about both fitness and community. We know how amazing and powerful a good workout can make you feel, and we also know how important it is to engage with a supportive community. So, why not kill two birds with one stone? One of our core missions is to create a community of like minded individuals where everybody feels welcomed.
Our goal at HYLO is for each and every member to walk into our fitness centers experiencing the very best part of their day; both for the benefits of an amazing workout and for the benefits of engaging in a positive, communal energy. We purposely offer a variety of class styles to meet each individual's fitness needs and we make our classes fun, as we truly believe that these classes are a time to be celebrated and shared between all of us.
If you’re interested in trying us out, finding your people, and discovering a workout you love, sign up here to take a complementary class. You can also check out our class schedule here. We would love to see you!
