EFM Health Club franchises join the fight against diabetes with Lift for Life weight training program

EFM Health Club franchises are now pleased to offer the EFM Lift For Life diabetes program, a progressive weight training program designed for people with or at risk of Type 2 diabetes.

Based on comprehensive research by the International Diabetes Institute, weight training has positive effects in the management of Type 2 diabetes. The Lift for Life diabetes program offered by EFM Health Clubs aims to improve diabetes control, decrease body fat, increase strength, and enhance general health and well-being through a structured approach to strength training.

The Lift for Life diabetes program is structured by Baker IDI, which has a unique operating model integrating research, education, and clinical care divisions and is dedicated to making a difference for people with diabetes.

EFM Health Clubs were chosen by Baker IDI and Fitness Australia to deliver this program nationally as the health club franchises have the right culture, environment and personalised fitness coating structure to deliver the program.

Throughout the Lift for LIfe diabetes management program participants work at their own pace with plenty of help and encouragement from an EFM coach. Participants complete four simple assessments over the 6 month program and EFM even offer a free trial session.

Lift For Life diabetes program members are not only able to a specific Lift For Life weights program, they can also join in regular EFM Health Club weights focused sessions and do cardiovascular exercise.

On completion of the Lift For Life diabetes program, members are welcome to continue with their EFM Health Club membership without the program related assessments. Furthermore, training will still include a significant weights focus for diabetes management.
