At the Institute of Human Performance (IHP), we deal with everyday, normal people—people just like you and the staff at IHP. Although the IHP environment is very professional, the IHP clients give it a very warm and relaxed spirit, making all newcomers feel right at home within minutes of opening the doors. The typical fitness clients at IHP are usually interested in dropping a few pounds and keeping their bodies young and in good working condition for playing with their children and excelling in their favorite past times. The IHP fitness clients are a demographically diverse group. On our last analysis, we were surprised as to how balanced our clientele demographics are: Females and males are just about equal in numbers, and our youth and athletes are just about equal to our fitness clientele in number. So, nobody at IHP ever feels alone, and chances are you will meet someone just like you working out beside you at IHP.

The fastest growing cohort of today’s American population is the senior population. Although there are many different classifications that depict seniors we operationally define it as anyone over 60. Due to medical advancements the over 80 cohort is exploding. Not only are people leaving longer, many don’t want to “act their age.” At IHP, we certainly encourage all of our seniors NOT TO ACT THEIR AGE! To us age is NOT a number – it is a state of mind. OF all of our clientele, our senior population is the most dedicate; they NEVER miss, and they are ALWAYS on time. Our seniors have that “Greatest Generation” value system that shines right through, and we at IHP appreciate, welcome, and want to instill that work ethic in all who come to IHP. Part of the charm of the IHP spirit, is the wisdom and values we have learned from all of the wise, loving senior clients who have graced our training facility.

The IHP staff has been through many battles with our senior clientele. We have come into their lives when they needed us and fought against cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, kidney failure, COPD, fractured bones, neuropathies, Heart attacks, strokes and more. We train our senior clientele to be strong enough carry their grandchildren, go up and down the stairs, play better golf, and react to slips and falls. At IHP we focus on maintaining a high quality of life in all of our clients, especially our seniors. It is always a pleasure to great them at IHP and seeing them working hard, with big smiles on their faces. Our senior clientele enrich our lives at IHP, and we learn from them more than they will ever know.

Our male clientele is equally diverse. However, just like the ladies, the men at IHP work their butts off. As a matter of fact, some of our training and performance records don’t belong to our athletes—they belong to our male fitness clients! The men training at IHP are similar to the ladies in that they are CEOs, small-business owners, executives, single parents, and students. The age profile of our male clients is also identical to that of our female clients. Men like IHP because it has an edge underneath its professional demeanor. Although most of the IHP men come to maintain good fitness levels and improve their golf game, some like to train more like they did in their younger days, focusing on being more athletic. One of the favorite features the male IHP clientele enjoys is the interaction with some of the professional athletes who call IHP their training headquarters. Most of the guys love to talk and share the training floor with many of our professional football players, baseball players, and professional fighters—that camaraderie is great to see. However, our favorite quality of the male clientele at IHP is that our men are professional, courteous, and polite; they are a true testament to the fact that “Chivalry is still alive at IHP.”
