Established as top health and fitness centre

Now entering its 21st year, Christchurch’s American Health Studio has become a mecca for men and women of all ages to achieve a better physique or figure, vastly improve fitness and enjoy a better life. This is all achieved in an atmosphere of quiet luxury. Comfort, health and fitness improvement go hand in hand in this beautifully appointed centre — one of the best equipped in the Southern Hemisphere. With this combination, it is little wonder that the clinic is enjoying such popularity. Figure and physique improvement is accomplished on richly-padded seats and soft rubber-cushioned apparatus.

The actual effort on the customers part is reduced to a minimum. One pads from one piece of equipment to another on thick luxurious green carpet in an

area surrounded by walls mirrored from floor to ceil-

ing. Visiting the sauna room, the kilograms just melt away. A weekly membership at Silhouette and American Health Studios costs as little as a shampoo and set, or a round of golf, while special arrangements can be made for country members.

One of the benefits of membership is that those with a strong constitution and who are prepared are less likely to contract colds and flu.

A regular programme at Silhouette-American Health Studios most assuredly builds resistance to colds and flu. Exercises, massage and especially Finnish Sauna treatments contribute to high resistance. Many members have said that since they have been going to Silhouette-Ameri-can Health Studios, they

have been free of colds, flu and bronchitis. Several suffering from such ailments as arthritis, lumbago and rheumatism have obtained relief after just a few visits.

A course of SilhouetteAmerican Health Studios regains health and vitality as well as weight reducing or body development. There also have been suntan rooms in the studio for the past 20 years without any incidence of skin cancer. Health studios are essential in modern society, with its automation, cars, lifts, labour-saving devices and lack of physical activity in many careers — so much so that we are not using the muscles we were born with. Silhouette - American Health Studios provide the answer with specialised services and scientific equipment to give you the body nature intended, with the minimum of time and effort.
