I recently had the opportunity to contribute to an article on the Vitamin Shoppe’s blog titled 4 Unexpected Health Metrics That May Predict Longevity. The piece explores some less obvious indicators that can give us real insight into long term health outcomes, metrics like grip strength, walking speed, sit to stand ability, and resting heart rate. These aren’t just abstract data points; they’re practical measures of how well the body performs day to day and how resilient it is over time.
At AIM Athletic, we pay close attention to these kinds of indicators in all of our services, whether it’s small group personal training, one on one personal training, or active rehab. These metrics align with the foundation of everything we do, building strength, improving functional movement, and supporting members in becoming more capable in real life, not just inside the gym. Tracking how fast someone can get off the floor, how strongly they can grip a dumbbell, or how efficiently their heart rate recovers can tell us a lot more than a number on the scale ever could. If you’re training with us, you’re already working on the qualities that help you live not just longer, but better.
You've got the info, now it's time to take AIM!
