When the world changed forever on 9-11-01, so did our responses to emergency services.

Gymflesh Corporation, a national leader of health education and medical exercise, is committed to advancing the lives and careers of emergency services personnel.

Gymflesh® provides excellence in academic studies and practical hands-on exercise interventions.

Gymflesh® assures EMS personnel have complete health both with physiological structure and occupational function.

Gymflesh® EMS Protocol

• Participants are engaged as dynamic drivers, not passive consumers, thus making students their own teachers. This helps upgrade the EMS culture for its ongoing health and productivity.
   

• EMS personnel are informed of occupational risks and are supplied with the means to lessen, if not overcome, these career hazards.
   

• Low-risk/high-efficiency exercises are taught with a hands-on approach using whatever equipment is available so participants and do these prescriptions anywhere, at any time, consistently with definitive physical results.
   

• Detailed strategies are provided for ongoing, in-service health and exercise education benefiting the EMS host facility and the community at-large.

Partnerships, Memberships, and Sponsorships

Gymflesh® Addresses Mental and Social Health as well as Physical
Upon request, our programs talk directly to many pressing social issues, Gymflesh® knows many social problems remain unaddressed and unspoken and unhealed. Where most people either deny or avoid the real-time social problems impacting complete health, Gymflesh® dares open the dialogue and have long-overdue conversations about these public crises. Some of the urgent topics needing immediate and long-term interventions, that only Gymflesh® speaks boldly to, are:

Depression, stress, and trauma, PTSD. — Rage and aggression. — Misogyny, misandry, bullying, and domestic violence. — Racism, sexism, ageism and discrimination. — Political divisions and nationalism. — Economic and class structures. — Religious and belief discrimination, fanaticism, and bigotry. — Self-injury and suicide. — Redacted statistics and unrecorded data. — Played-out habits and timeworn practices. — Nepotism, favoritism, and unearned advantage. — Cultural and ethnic exclusivity and arrogance. — Unsafe, impersonal, and degrading sexual practices. — Being single, divorced, separated, or widowed. — Alcohol use, abuse, and alcoholism. — Illegal and illicit substance abuse. — Pharmaceutical and various addictions. — Tobacco, chew, spit, and snuff. — Homophobia, heterosexism, and unlawful hate crimes. — Additional idiosyncratic topics as requested.
