FITNESS FIRST At the Radiant Wellness Centre
Hundreds of gyms and aerobic classes promise to make their customers slimmer and happier persons, but Renuka David and Sherene John insist that there is no happiness without fitness. "Losing weight is also a medical issue," says Dr. David.
At the Radiant Wellness Centre run by the sisters, you have to put yourself through a master health check up even before you can step onto the treadmill. Once your blood, kidney functions, sugar and thyroid levels are tested and x-rays taken, you are sent to meet some of the city's leading doctors. With both the pathological and physiological reports in hand, Dr. David, a gynaecologist, sits with her clients and the centre's dietician and trainer to chart out a personalised package.
"It's a unique concept, and we've only heard of one other centre like that in Mumbai," says Sherene. The sisters have been inspired by their own success stories to set up this well equipped wellness centre. Sherene was 85 kilos after her second child, you wouldn't guess it if you saw her today. "Losing weight is easy. The challenge is to maintain the weight loss," says Sherene. At the centre, there is not just a physician but also an orthopaedist and a dermatologist. The trainers keep an eye on those with health problems and monitor their blood pressure and sugar levels at regular intervals. And there are pre and postnatal exercises for the pregnant woman. If you thought going to the centre will be like visiting a hospital, then here's the good news — your package also includes salsa, aerobics and makeover sessions. The centre has two ayurvedic massage rooms, and will soon introduce makeover rooms. The Radiant Wellness Centre is located at No. 29, Dr. Nair Road, T. Nagar, ph: 28157751.
