Are you striving for fitness or for health?

It's funny how this works.

Being fit and being healthy are often totally separate entities for people.

I see the separation everyday from a fascinating perspective.

I assess young athletes all the time that play a year round sport but they are unable to stand on one leg.

I assess successful business executives that get more done in a day than most get done in a week.

But, they can't sleep and suffer from chronic fatigue.

I've seen the fitness enthusiast that can do handstands, heavy deadlifts, and sprints but they can't hold their eyes on a target for more than 3 seconds.

I've worked with endurance athletes that push the limits of their cardiovascular system but somehow they have a breathing dysfunction.

The list is endless.

Our current cultural definition of being healthy is very confused.

At TMP, we help people bridge the gap between what is "fit" and what is "health."

The person who earns the balance between these qualities is granted sustainability, longevity and happiness.
