While you may think of gyms as all about physical workouts, a new gym in Michigan is focusing on the mind. David McCullar is taking what he’s learned about alternative ways to deal with his trauma and using it in the first-ever mental health gym, Inception.
“A mental health gym uses 21st-century holistic technology to help everyday people deal with stressors or trauma,” he says, noting he got into it after using them himself for his issues, as well as a back injury.
He says the pandemic really had people gaining “awareness of how stressed out they were” which was a benefit to the gym.
"Our services look like doing circuit model training like a traditional gym to help move the body to rest and digest," he says. “We use neuro feedback, which is called brain training, magnetic therapy, red light therapy,” as well as sensory deprivation and more.
The gym uses a 90-minute circuit model of treatments that costs only $99.
