Our Formula!

At V-Healthy, we believe that to be healthy for life, you need to follow the weekly recommendations for healthy eating & exercise. We know that this isn’t easy. That’s why we’ve come up with our unique formula, giving you not only a fun & friendly Class , but ongoing support, educational tools and the latest diet & fitness trackers to help you.

At V-Healthy we believe that everyone is ‘on a diet’. They are either ‘on’ a healthy diet or an unhealthy diet. Diet simply means the sum of food consumed by a person.

It is impossible for everyone to have exactly the same diet and be considered healthy according to their body fat percentage, muscle mass, bone weight etc. This is because people come in different shapes & sizes, have different activity levels and therefore different energy needs. Also, not everyone has exactly the same tastes in food, tolerances to food, time to make food etc.
For example, 2 people go ‘on’ the same diet. Person A might stay the correct weight for their height & have a healthy body fat percentage & muscle mass whilst person B might lose/put on weight if they do more/less exercise than person A.

The phrase ‘going on a diet’ implies that you have to come ‘off’ the diet at some point. Most set diets are just not realistic enough to keep up for the rest of your life. There are therefore millions of people who have ‘gone on diets’ and lost weight only to come off them & piled all the weight back on & more. If you’ve not done this yourself, then I’m sure you know someone who has. In fact, only about 1% of people who have gone a diet have actually kept the weight off for more than 6 years.

At V-Healthy we want to educate you about healthy eating so that you can personalise your diet according to your needs and goals. That is why we give you easy to follow dietary advice from the most up to date scientific research and educational videos about different topics including nutrition, meal planning and food labelling.

 
As a member you will have access to your V-Healthy Diet Tracker where you will find our food database and will be able to log your diet to compare what you eat to what you should be eating.

Medical studies show that keeping a food journal doubles your chances of achieving your goal whether that is weight loss, weight gain or weight maintenance
You will have a personal profile page on our website where you will have access to a forum, recipes, meal plans and you will be able to swap ideas and recipes with other members.
Our fun & friendly Classes are designed for all ages (16+) and abilities including people with joint problems, people who’ve never exercised before & people who have been exercising for years. They are also designed for people with different health & fitness goals for example people who want to strengthen their back or people who want to lose weight.
If you’re sweating just thinking about coming to one of our Classes , then sweat no more. We don’t use the ‘no pain no gain’ rule for 2 reasons:

1) Many people start an exercise regime really motivated to see results & go hell for leather when they start. However, if you’re not used to doing this type of exercise then you need to give your body time to adjust to the exercise or else you might put your self at risk of injury.

2) We know that you wont come back to Classes & therefore won’t see results if you work at your maximum effort in your first Class . You’ll probably feel uncomfortably sore the following week which will put you off going to another Class because you think that it will hurt the next time.

You will be given a V-Healthy fitness tracker so that you can work at your own level during the Classes & so that our instructors can coach you into the right zones for burning fat and increasing fitness. This can be used outside of the Class to track all of your exercise and will be uploaded to your profile page where you will be able to see your results, helping you stay motivated & achieve your goals.
By following our programme you will come to 2+ Classes per week you will meet the recommended weekly guidelines for exercise reducing your risk of life threatening illnesses. Our Classes consist of a mixture of interval training, total body toning & resistance training.
You will also receive regular V-Healthy Body MOTs measuring weight, Body Mass Index, body fat, body water, muscle mass, bone mass, metabolic age, physique rating and visceral fat which is the internal fat around your organs. The reasons we merger all of these so we can workout what is going on. For example muscle ways more than fat, So you could lose fat and gain muscle and your weight would go up. Your results will be uploaded to your profile page where you can track them in depth.
Our support system is vital in helping and motivating you to achieve your goals. Whether that is to be more confident in your skin, have more energy to chase your children or grandchildren, or to get a personal best in the next sporting event, V-healthy support is here for you.
 
As a member, you will be assigned one of our friendly instructors who will give you as much help, motivation & advice as you need to help you achieve your goals. They will be able to keep track of your diet, exercise regime & Body MOT results and you can call, text or send messages to your instructor whenever you need help or advice.
 

You will have exclusive access to your own personal profile page where you will find an online database, forum and a Buddy System which allows you to communicate with other members, enabling you to ask questions, swap ideas and recipes, share goals, results and motivational tips.

 
In order for you to meet the weekly recommended guidelines for healthy eating & exercise, you will be taken through a 2 phase programme. You will be given educational tools including videos & fact sheets covering topics that include nutrition, meal planning & food labelling.

Phase 1
This phase is for those of you who want to slim down and achieve your recommended Body Mass Index. It is also for those of you who are already a healthy weight for your height. We want to help you to optimise your diet to help you to be the best version of you; full of energy & vitality.
Phase 2
This phase will help you to maintain your healthy BMI, helping you to live a long and healthy life and reducing your risk of life threatening illnesses.

We want to educate you & help you to make small changes to your lifestyle that will lead to life changing results. To do this, we want every one to be considered ‘healthy’, using the latest ways to measure this eg by measuring body fat percentage, visceral fat percentage, water percentage, physique rating, bone & muscle mass. We also measure BMI however we know that this is only accurate for some people.
