Celebrity Trainer And Healthcare Practitioner Roland Semprie Opens Integrative Centre in Rosedale

Facility Combines Fitness And Healing Therapies With East/West Approach

Toronto, ON, February 11, 2008 – Celebrity trainer, healthcare practitioner and professional lifestyle change consultant Roland Semprie has opened the doors of “Roland Semprie Rosedale”,  a new integrative healthcare centre at 1073 Yonge Street (on Yonge, north of TTC’s Rosedale station).
The centre is facilitated by accredited trainers drawing from best exercise and healthcare practices in the East and West to support long-term healthy living.  In addition to personal training, fitness and healthcare, “Roland Semprie Rosedale” integrates nutritional guidance, education and healing techniques in an energized and sophisticated environment to help people stay dedicated to positive health and wellness goals.

Semprie’s highly professional education and background includes certifications and degrees in fitness training, natural health, naturopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, hypnotherapy and neural linguistic programming.  He is also a doctor of SCENAR (Self-Controlled Energy Neural Adaptive Regulation), a ground-breaking patented medical technology that signals the brain to activate the body’s own self-healing resources.

With such extensive knowledge and access to both innovative and traditional healing methods, and the assistance of like-minded trainers, Semprie set out to approach true well-being with a goal to treat the entire individual.  Through years of working one-on-one with clients he also understood the importance of addressing the totality of personal services in a single, non-membership-based, well-equipped and sophisticated facility.

“I don’t know of any institution applying a totally integrated program such as ours in one space,” Semprie says. “We’re offering personalized one-on-one training, classes, VIP services and body treatments along with revolutionary health care treatment - all under one roof, and in the heart of Rosedale. This is a completely comprehensive centre where you can get all your needs met on the spot by purchasing a health and fitness package customized for you.”

Such customization incorporates a calculated system of personal balance.  Along with its exercise programs, nutritional guidance (including recommended supplements, drinks and food), body treatments, personal training programs and healthcare services, “Roland Semprie Rosedale” also provides in-house concierge services including event planning and booking travel and entertainment.

The centre is the realization of Semprie’s vision: to create a highly-developed urban refuge to help others reclaim fitness regimes, receive effective treatment for unresolved chronic or acute health problems or simply rejuvenate in a quiet oasis away from the crowd.
