 Rejuvinate at fbe Spa Holistic Health & Fitness
BY JOE MANNETTI
For those who agree with our new leader’s proclamation that
it is time for a change, fbe Spa Holistic Health & Fitness,
providing a unique fusion of European and Asian holistic
healing, is the place for you.
Overlooking the beautiful La Brea Tar Pits, soft, relaxing
music and the sweetly scented aromatherapy welcomes each
guest into the 2,700-square-foot facility. Standing for “firm
body evolution,” fbe is currently the only facility in L.A.
County to exclusively offer such services as whole body vibration
exercisers, infrared jade saunas and air therapy machines,
in addition to specialist services including massage therapy,
acupuncture, chiropractic services and biofeedback. The holistic
approach at fbe emphasizes weight loss, anti-aging and detoxification
through revitalization rather than exhaustion. “[Services]
are incredibly relaxing, as well as beneficial,” says owner
Joseph Harounian, “so unlike other workouts, this is one
you’ll look forward to.”
In addition to the state of the art equipment, Harounian
has made available a myriad of products to complement the
holistic approach that fbe supports, including juices that
promote weight loss, detoxification, internal cleansing and
optimal health.
Harounian established fbe with the support of his sister
Jasmin after going through his own health struggles. At age
20, he began a battle with Crohn’s disease. After suffering
with symptoms and side effects from the medication for almost
two years, he learned of a doctor specializing in holistic
medicine. Harounian claims that after only three sessions
of herbal treatments accupuncture he began to feel better
and ultimately these visits changed his life. He stopped
taking the medications prescribed by his previous physicians
and he began his journey of rejuvenation and holistic healing
to astounding results. In fact, his triumph over Crohn’s
disease and his improved health inspired his sister, who
later became a holistic doctor herself, to help him establish
fbe Spa Holistic Health & Fitness.
For those in the LGBT community seeking improved health without
the potential toxic side effects of medication or for those
simply seeking an alternative to stress-filled gym environments
with routines that can be equally stressful and exhausting,
fbe is a welcomed change. Another of fbe’s assets is the
advanced results that can be achieved on a tight time schedule.
The vibration machines exclusive to fbe, for example, are
designed to provide optimum results in a minimum amount of
time. The Vibration Exerciser EOS 6600 provides an easy and
healthy way to lose weight and tone muscle by changing strong
rotating energy into vibrating energy, rapidly decomposing
fat. It creates the type of muscle tension you experience
during a heavy lifting session, alternately contracting and
releasing this point at a rapid pace. In short, 10 minutes
on this machine is equivalent to running for an hour.
During your initial consultation, expert staff will guide
you through a body composition analysis on their highly technical
Vivente machine, which assesses lean body mass, obesity diagnosis,
water mass to determine your “Basal Metabolic Rate,” ideal
weight and suggested daily calorie intake. Every three months
the process is repeated, allowing you to see the results
as you look in the mirror and also prove them on paper.
fbe members are as diverse and unique as the services provided.
Prices for membership and specialist services are separate
though comparable to other gym fees. The experience you will
receive at fbe, however, is in a world of its own.
