The Center for Fitness and Health offers a professional bodybuilder to help the community stay fit.

It’s almost July 4 and you may be asking, “Where is the summer going?”. Whether you are watching the calendar or your waistline, it’s not too late to get in shape. The Center for Fitness and Health, which was developed in partnership with Monongahela Valley Hospital, now adds the distinction of having a professional bodybuilder, who is dedicated to the health and wellness of the Center’s members, among its team of certified trainers.

AJ Hribal, a trainer at the Center, won the overall men’s bodybuilding competition in the Organization of Competitive Bodybuilders’ Iron City Classic on May 21. By winning this competition, Mr. Hribal received his pro card which means he is now a natural professional bodybuilder.

“I started working out when I was 4 years old in the basement with my uncle,” said the bodybuilder who also was named the Open-Middleweight Champion at the competition. “When I was 15, I began serious conditioning.”

Mr. Hribal went on to earn a degree in Fitness and Wellness from California University. While still in college, he competed in his first show. The recent event marks only his third competition.

In addition to Mr. Hribal, the Center employs a staff of eight certified personal trainers who are available during the day, evenings and on weekends.

The Center for Fitness and Health is one of the most clinically-oriented and medically advanced fitness facilities in Southwestern Pennsylvania. The facility combines state-of-the-art fitness equipment and programs with comprehensive medical diagnostics, therapeutics and rehabilitation services.

“The medical expertise of MVH personnel along with the expertise of our fitness professionals creates a truly unique facility for our members,” said Don Doyle, general manager of the fitness center. “At any given time, we have a diverse group of people working out in the Center. Everyone joins to meet their specific goals and needs. For example, high school athletes may come to the Center for training and conditioning while people in their 30s and 40s want to build muscle and seniors want to prolong their active lifestyles.”

Some of the features include:

• Expansive Strength Training Area
• Computerized Resistance Equipment
• Weight Training and Cardiovascular Equipment
• Personal Trainers Onsite
• Aerobics and Fitness Studios
• Cushioned Indoor Walking Track
• Lap Pool that is 75 feet long and four (4) lanes wide

The Center for Fitness and Health is located at WillowPointe Plaza, 800 Plaza Drive, in Rostraver.
