Lisa Raleigh Cpt gets a make-over and emerges as Executive Wellness: Weight Loss and Fitness Centre

Executive Wellness: Weight loss and Fitness Centre is an evolution of the Lisa Raleigh Wellness Clinic Cape Town. After running for two months under the Lisa Raleigh Clinic name we identified some specific client needs, and decided to customise what we were offering to suit those needs. The Lisa Raleigh brand had always offered a full scope of wellness treatments but was known best for the weight loss component. After our initial two month period, we realised that our clients in Cape Town had a wider range of wellness requirements than what we had anticipated, and we decided to customise our approach and product offering even more.

Meal & menu planning at Fruition Cafe and juice Bar

We still offer personal training in our private gym, but will be taking our customised service to a new level through Fruition Express, our healthy, ‘fast food’ component of Fruition Cafe. Fruition Express offers busy people a convenient and nutritious meal planning option at very affordable prices. We have found that many people battle to make the transition to a healthy lifestyle because there is just so much to get used to, and so many changes to implement- at the same time as losing weight and training. Fruition Express caters pre-prepared meals that are wholesome, and packaged according to the individuals’ calorie and nutritional needs. Clients select a menu of choice for the week for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and wholesome snacks. Clients can opt to collect their cooler bags at the gym every morning, or they can be delivered to their homes, at a nominal surcharge. This takes the temptation of over-eating, choosing the wrong foods or snacking while cooking out of the equation, and saves you time. Our evening meal will take around 10-minute’s preparation time. Fruition Cafe also offers light, low-calorie, low-GI meals and delicious green juices can be ordered after a training session or picked up on your way to work.

Detox packages

Everyone needs a detox every now and then- especially after periods of over-indulgence. People who are under stress and people who consume rich foods, or food and / or alcohol in excess should detox periodically. Executive Wellness has come up with a range of detox packages to suit all tastes and budgets. We offer a 12-day detox which includes all the complementary treatments, meal planning and training sessions, which is ideal for people who live nearby the clinic. We also offer a complete retreat option where long-distance clients can be accommodated in a neighbouring bed-and-breakfast, and take a complete break from their everyday lives to unwind, and allow their bodies to rejuvenate entirely. Our detox packages are superb for the corporate market, and are especially useful in helping to prevent burn-out and relieve the effects of stress. Companies all over the world lose time and money to illness and stressed-out employees, and offering executives an opportunity to learn to cope with accumulated stress is one of the things we do best.

Personal and group training

Our private gym offers the option of personal and / or group training. One-on-one fitness training offers a more personalised approach, but some people enjoy exercise in a group environment. Our gym is open seven days a week, from 06h00-19h00.

Body beautiful at Wellness Inc.

We will still be offering our wellness packages under the Wellness Inc banner. Our lymph massage literally takes centimetres off immediately, and tired and sore muscles recover quickly after a full-body massage. We also offer pedicures to soothe tired feet and perk energy levels. Colon cleansing has proven to be an effective complement to detox and weight loss packages. Wellness Inc offers self-administered colon cleansing sessions to relieve emotional and physical blockages.

Neil’s Story: Through Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis and Back Again

About three years ago Neil Krige was diagnosed with Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). This disease affects the liver, and occurs in people who drink little or no alcohol. Known as a ‘silent’ liver disease, NASH can only be diagnosed through a liver biopsy. If the biopsy shows fat, and inflammation and scarring of the liver, NASH is diagnosed. Six months ago, blood tests revealed extremely high levels of liver enzymes and cholesterol indicating that Neil’s condition was deteriorating.

There is currently no specific treatment or ‘cure’ for NASH and Neil was faced with a very difficult lifestyle decision to make, “I needed a change in lifestyle; I had been warned on many occasions to do this but lacked the strength of character to see it through. My doctor had told me that changing your lifestyle was more difficult than giving up smoking.” Neil registered with Executive Wellness before it opened officially and began a detox programme with food-state vitamin supplements and an exercise routine, which comprised training six days a week. He admits that making a lifestyle change was tough, and that the support he received at the clinic helped him to cope with the mindset shift and commitment required.

Six months into his programme Neil has lost weight and is healthier than ever, he comments, “the most incredible result was that my liver enzymes were dramatically reduced and my cholesterol came down to normal levels. The results so impressed my liver specialist that I only have to visit him every twelve months to monitor progress.” Neil’s attitude towards his body has changed, and he has committed himself to a completely healthy and conscious lifestyle.

Executive Wellness: Weight loss and Fitness Centre endorses a holistic approach to general wellness and weight loss and makes recommendations based on nutrition, fitness and exercise, emotional triggers and the individual requirements of the client. The clinic also offers full emotional support for its clients through SMS, Skype, email and/or telephone calls. The clinic’s facilities include: a private gym, a wellness centre offering body wraps, cellulite treatments, massages, lymph drainage and colon therapy, as well as Fruition Cafe and Juice Bar which serves low GI, low calorie meals and green juices.
