A Healthy Lifestyle Within Reach
Lake Highlands boasts proximity to scenic White Rock Lake and stellar schools, but did you know that it’s also minutes away from nationally recognized health and wellness facilities?
Whether you’re a 20-something yoga addict, a Baby Boomer recovering from an injury, or a senior working to stay sharp and fit, acclaimed doctors, trainers and healthcare professionals are easily accessible and ready to help achieve the personal fitness — and lifestyle — you desire.
Baylor Tom Landry Health and Wellness Center
As one of the only medically integrated fitness centers in Dallas, the Baylor Tom Landry Health and Wellness Center benefits just about anyone who walks through its doors.
“We offer programs and services for athletes, children, older adults and those with past injuries,” says Ashley Eaton, Landry membership sales and marketing manager.
The Landry Health and Wellness Center first opened in January 1991. But that doesn’t mean the facility lacks modern conveniences and technology.
“We recently completed a $1 million renovation,” Eaton says.
The Health and Wellness Center’s locker rooms received a facelift, and five new family locker rooms were added, among various other improvements.
New staff members have contributed further to the exciting changes at the facility.
“Justin Walters, our new strength and conditioning coach, runs our Baylor Sports Performance Academy for elite athletes. Walters has worked with Olympic medal-winning athletes and served as an assistant coach for the Chicago Cubs,” Eaton says.
At the Landry Health and Wellness Center, the variety of studio-quality group classes is worth the membership alone. Barre, aquatic fitness and reformer classes are just a sample of what’s offered weekly.
Timeless health at Monticello West
Advancing in years is no reason to give up on staying healthy and active.
Since 1970, Monticello West has provided a community for aging adults to stay fit, active and mentally sharp.
“Monticello West staff envisioned that, as baby boomers aged, they would need to provide a place where people felt at home and have access to personalized medical care,” says Nan Mulvaney, Monticello West Director of Community Relations.
The staff provides a foundation for high-quality care, earning Monticello West the industry’s coveted five-star rating.
Caregivers at Monticello West understand that families work to gain advance knowledge and expertise about care for their loved one.
Two outdoor courtyards provide opportunities for seniors to stay active while strolling amidst nature and beautiful flowers, right in the heart of Highland Park.
Monticello West offers at least five scheduled activities daily, providing numerous opportunities for intellectual stimulation.
“Our goal is to enable our residents to live an active, independent lifestyle while our dedicated team members and licensed nurses provide assistance with medications, transportation and other specific services depending on the needs of our residents,” Mulvaney says.
