Why isn’t everyone into health clubs and fitness classes?

Building people’s interest in health clubs and fitness-based classes is wonderfully simple. Just offer your clientele a range of measurable benefits. And not only the benefits connected with the kind of strenuous physical exercises that not everyone can perform, either.

Allergic diseases are a twenty-first century epidemic. There are approximately 235 million asthma suffers in the world. And asthma is just one of the countless allergies which plague us. Millions of people out there need the relief that halotherapy can bring them.

Halotherapy in a fitness club?

Physical exercise enforces full ventilation of the lungs, which has a positive effect on the action and efficacy of halotherapy. Salt aerosol reaches the deepest-lying sections of the respiratory system, which increases the efficiency of the therapy in combating the diseases of contemporary civilisation. Health clubs are a natural place for halotherapy.

Can health clubs be harmful as far as this is concerned? And if so, how?

Carrying out movement-based exercise in a polluted environment can lead to the development of asthma or overly sensitive bronchi, even in healthy people. So attention has to be paid to the parameters of the air in health clubs and other indoor spaces where fitness-based activities take place. Exercise should be undertaken in a clean environment.

What evidence is there to support the efficacy of halotherapy?

The first scientific research results revealing the beneficial and therapeutic effects of dry salt aerosol were published by a doctor working at the Wieliczka Salt Mine in 1843. Since then, countless clinical studies have not only confirmed those findings, but have also made it possible to determine the diseases where halotherapy demonstrates a high level of efficacy. As an example, a study was carried out on 600 children with bronchial asthma. In the group receiving the dry salt aerosol treatment, the patients themselves felt a significant improvement after 3 to 4 days.

In the Bochnia Salt Mine sanatorium, the patients have the use of a gym where people with respiratory system problems can overcome their symptoms by regular physical exercise in a space filled with dry salt aerosol. The aerosol stimulates their immune systems, as well as having an anti-bacterial action.

Physical activity undertaken in an environment rich in dry salt aerosol enhances our body’s defensive reactions and that, in turn, gives rise to a marked improvement in our sense of well-being. At the same time, exercise also improves the circulation and cardiac performance.

How can equipping a health club with a halogenerator build interest in the facility?

The SALSANO DC-405 halogenerator can be used in small, medium and large indoor spaces, thanks to its selection of themed programmes. The programmes provide different concentrations of dry salt aerosol and make it possible to adapt the quantity of aerosol to the kind of activity taking place and to the needs of the group taking part in it.
