FROM 2025 TO NOW – A YEAR THAT CHANGED US
As we step into 2026, it feels right to pause not to slow down, but to acknowledge the ground we’ve covered.
Throughout 2025, our monthly newsletters told a bigger story than we may have realised at the time. They captured a year of clarity, courage, refinement, and growth not just for The Exercise Room / Medical Fitness, but for the people within it.
What began as conversations around movement, strength, and health steadily evolved into something deeper:
- A clearer understanding of why people struggle with consistency
- A growing awareness that pain, fear, and confusion often block progress more than lack of motivation
- And a powerful shift toward education, empowerment, and personal responsibility
Most people don’t fail because they don’t care. They struggle because they were never properly taught. That insight now shapes everything we do.
FIT3D COMES TO THE EXERCISE ROOM
We’re excited to introduce FIT3D health metrics as part of our expanding repertoire of services at The Exercise Room / Medical Fitness. FIT3D adds objective, repeatable, and visual data to support smarter training, recovery, and long-term health decisions.
Why FIT3D Matters
FIT3D provides accurate body composition and posture insights that go far beyond a scale or mirror. Key metrics include:
- 3D body composition analysis (fat mass, lean mass, body shape)
- Postural and alignment assessment to identify asymmetries and imbalances
- Circumference measurements without tape measures
- Visual progress tracking over time
- Baseline and re-assessment capability
- Non-invasive and radiation-free scanning
- Supports gene-specific, medical fitness, and longevity programs
Who FIT3D Is For
FIT3D is suitable for a wide range of people and goals, including members starting their journey, those returning after injury, functional fitness athletes, and anyone focused on ageing well and long-term independence. It empowers members with clarity, confidence, and measurable feedback.
