Andrea teaches me the proper technique to give me the maximum benefit in my workouts. She has helped me improve my form and taught me which muscle groups to engage when doing each exercise. It’s not just about building muscle she has greatly improved my flexibility too.
Judy Cox has helped transform my body. She tailors each workout to my specific needs.
Not only have I gained strength and endurance but I also have better balance and stability as a result of her training. I can’t speak highly enough about her.

BREATHE EASIER We know consistent exercise is essential to maintain your health. With winter coming quickly and a pandemic still upon us, finding a place you feel comfortable to get that exercise is a challenge. GREAT NEWS! The BridgeMill Athletic Club Fitness Center now has a REME HALO® Air Purifier system. This system has been tested and proven to be 99.9% effective at neutralizing the COVID-19 virus! And better yet, the HALO system is capable of purifying every cubic inch of air that our heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system reaches. Come try a new fitness class with us this winter and feel confident in your decision to stay fit and healthy all year long!
REME HALO® IN-DUCT AIR PURIFIER The award winning REME HALO® is the next generation of indoor air quality (IAQ) technology. With increased ionized hydro-peroxide output and the enhanced catalyst with zinc it is capable of purifying every cubic inch of air that the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system reaches. It is effective against all three categories of indoor air pollutants: Particulates, Microbials and Gases. Thoroughly tested to safely remove the risks of airborne and surface bacteria, mold spores and viruses, such as MRSA, e-coli, and Norwalk, to name a few.
HOW IT WORKS: The REME HALO® utilizes RGF’s patent-pending Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy technology. Installed into the supply plenum of the existing air conditioning or heating system air ducts, the REME HALO® produces Hydro-Peroxide plasma that is distributed through the air handler, through the duct system and into the conditioned living space. Unlike passive air technologies, which need pollutants to pass through the unit for purification or filtration, the REME HALO® sweeps through the area actively purifying pollutants at the source. In addition, the charged plasma induces particles to coagulate or stick together making them bigger and easier for your filter to catch. Hydro-Peroxide occur naturally in the earth’s atmosphere and are part of nature’s process of cleaning the air. The redesigned and improved REME HALO® HVAC unit features higher Ionized Hydro-Peroxide output, which gives faster kill rates for microbial contaminants in the air as well as on surfaces. This higher output also drops more particulates from the air bringing relief to those who suffer from allergies and other respiratory issues. Now with quick release features for the cell and housing for faster cell replacement and an adjustable shroud for customization of the advanced oxidation plasma output.
