Whoever heard of a gym within a supermarket?! As odd as it may sound, that's where you'll find the…read moreHealthy Living Center and I love, love, love this place! The door to the center is located next to the Prescription counter at Hannaford. it's the one at 900 Central Avenue. It's free to join and most of the classes are free as well. The programs are underwritten by Hannaford supermarkets, CDPHP and the YMCA. It's brilliant. By keeping people healthy we can reduce the staggering costs of medical care and health insurance claims. There are also free courses on healthy eating run by Hannaford nutritionist Fran Weiss. You'll find the staff very supportive. The classes are fun. The majority of members are seniors, but they make everyone feel welcome. If this is a template for fitness, I hope more centers like this one will spring up across the region!

Do you want to start exercising, but don't know how or where to get started? The Healthy Living…read moreCenter is the place for you. Located inside Hannaford, you'll find a small, supportive, comfortable place to start working out. To get started with your free (yes, free) membership, just bring in an ID and the person at the front desk will get you all set up and ready to begin your fitness journey. The gym itself has some resistance based machines (If you've ever been to Curves, think of that) if you would like to work on strength and several choices for cardio, including a bike, treadmills, ellipticals, and a rowing machine. And, don't worry; the people working there will help set you up on any of those machines. If doing your own thing isn't your cup of tea, the Healthy Living Center also offers many classes throughout the day and evening, some free and some paid. You can check their schedule on the website and sign up 2 weeks before a class beginning at 8am for the free classes (they clearly label the paid, more advanced classes, which are often around $7/class - so very reasonable). There are spin classes, zumba, HIIT, circuit classes, urban fit, and more. Options are also available for personal training (fee). Instructors are great at providing modifications in classes so that all ability levels are able to participate. The reason I've been a member here for more than three years is partially the amazing instructors, like Regina, but also the amazing community of members the Healthy Living Center has attracted. You'll be welcomed and supported; you'll also find yourself among a diverse client base. People of all races, sizes, ages, and ability levels use the gym here. I honestly can't say enough positive things about this beloved little gym and, guys, it's free - you have absolutely nothing to lose by checking it out.

I'm pretty physically active, and sometimes, I get aches and pains depending on what I'm doing. I…read morehad a painful strain in my neck and needed relief. I tried pain killers but they were not getting to the root of the problem. I've had minor chiropractic care in the past, but it doesn't compare to the thorough and gentle approach at Harmony Chiropractic. A friend suggested I make an appointment with chiropractor Dr. Lisa Malfucci to see if she can help. I emailed, then called Dr. Malfucci and she was quick to respond. The office space is near Grand Central which is easy to get to. The building is corporate, but the space Dr. Malfucci uses is very professional and clean. After filling out an extensive intake form, Dr. Malfucci asked me a series of questions about my health - not just the pain in my neck. I was pretty impressed because the last chiropractor I went to made me feel rushed and just wanted to quickly address the issue. What separated Dr. Malfucci from the other chiropractor I've been to is that she takes a more gentle approach - doing a through muscle assessment and body scan and combines massage therapy into her session. She didn't just get in their and "crack" things, she carefully took the time to find out what was causing the root of my pain - specific muscles - supraspinatus and subscapularis were the culprits. I've had electro stim in the past, but what was GREAT about this place is that Dr. Malfuccia actually gave me a hands on massage targeting all of the pain in my neck and shoulder as the electro stim session was going on. When I had electro stim in the past, the doctor just attaches the electrodes and leaves you sitting. Dr. Malfucci gave a wonderful massage and was present throughout this. Afterwards, the pain in my neck was reduced by 90%, allowing me to get back to being active and function once again. Not only was Dr. Malfuccia effective, her holistic and gentle approach towards chiropractic care really made a difference. She is also very easy to talk with and makes the whole experience great. I will definitely be back.

NOT ANY MORE!! When my health started to deteriorate even more, my pcp (a fellow holistic practitioner) informed me it might be time to stop breastfeeding my son; my body wasn't absorbing nutrients correctly, and what was let was going to my breastmilk for Declan. Heartbroken, I turned to Kim and told her I would do ANYTHING to not have to wean him early. She immediately discovered that I was allergic to grains, dairy, and soy. I stopped: COLD TURKEY. The first week was rough. Alright, it was PURE HELL. Then, I suddenly felt GREAT. Through diet and whole food supplements, my body and gut began to heal... my headaches were gone...so were my aches and pains, and the nausea stopped. I didn't know this is what I was supposed to feel like! She saved me and my breastfeeding relationship. My son will be 2 years old in 15 days and we're still going strong. YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!
