Mental health counseling center serving Utah and Salt Lake Counties. We specialize in incorporating physical fitness to improve mental health.
Who Are We?
In addition to conventional therapy, XLR8 Fitness and Counseling specializes in integrating physical fitness as a means to enhance mental well-being. As part of this therapeutic approach, individuals are taught how to use exercise to manage their emotions. By subjecting the body to controlled stress, exercise can contribute to the healing of the brain and the reduction of conditions such as depression, anxiety, and even PTSD, consequently lowering the likelihood of suicide and the adoption of harmful coping strategies. To put it simply, this program has the potential to be a lifesaver.
How We Differ
Despite a notable 18% increase in fitness facilities over six years, obesity has risen by 8%. Quantity alone isn't the solution. XLR8 Fitness offers a superior quality of care focused on reducing body fat. Studies confirm that the most effective way to combat an unhealthy lifestyle is by addressing both the mind and the body. This approach not only significantly increases the likelihood of achieving fitness goals and weight loss but also enhances weight maintenance by 28%. Obesity and depression are closely linked, with a 55% increased likelihood of depression in obese individuals and a 58% higher likelihood of obesity in depressed individuals. This co-occurring issue cannot be effectively treated by solely going to the gym or just counseling. XLR8 Fitness provides an integrated approach to enhance treatment, leading to quicker success and reduced relapse.
“Help Your Body Help Your Mind”
We believe that pairing physical fitness with traditional therapy produces better results. We will engage in traditional talk therapy and can come up with a fitness plan tailored to your needs to optimize your well-being.
