Achieving 'Perfect Total Fitness'
* It is only through the synergy of plyometric approach that total fitness occurs
The Facade
Total fitness is about optimizing an individual's mental and physical condition. It is a result of synergy. For example, a person may follow a balanced diet or exercise daily. However, singular activities will not produce the dramatic result that can be achieved from a combination of proper nutrition and regular exercise. It is only through the synergy of plyometric approach that total fitness occurs.
Mike Chua, BTKMT (Bowen Therapy Knisiology Muscle Tester), a physical therapist, nutritionist, muscle alignment therapist and pioneer of pilates in Iloilo City, has answered this need for total fitness through his gym called "Perfect Total Fitness." It is located at Quezon Street and it formally opened last July 12 after two months of dry run.

"We have a one in one approach to each member. We provide them with an exercise regimen, a meal plan and goal-oriented health plan," he said.

These goals are aided by a complete line of equipment plus the medicine ball, dosu ball, pilates ring, balance board, thera bands and pilates ball, boxing bags, basic weight training machines, among others.
Chua's expertise in pilates (he's a level four teacher) is being continued in this gym. "We offer pilates here with personal training sessions," he said.
He and two trainors attend to each member's need. He is being assisted by Eric Saing and Kristine Ledesma, who trained under him. Saing is an expert in tai chi and boxing while Kristine is a pilates guru.
