Ten years ago the Mettler family embarked on building a reputation "For Whole Life Fitness" and physical therapy.

Adding to that success, the Mettler Foundation expanded, creating Mettler Athletic to further young athletes' knowledge and skills while increasing their athleticism.

With the sports enthusiast in mind, Mettler Athletic has become a training ground for amateur and professional athletes alike who want to "move to the next level." 

Among Mettler Athletic's accomplished clientele are:


Each credits Mettler Athletic for their success. "Coming off a three-year career at the University of Illinois, I was accustomed to the best and most modern workout facilities and training staffs," Rohde said. "Now that I am on my own, I needed a facility that goes beyond a weight room and cardio equipment. I needed a facility that would take my fitness and baseball skills to the next level. Mettler Athletic was the place I was looking for and more."

As Mettler Athletic approaches our year anniversary, we are laying the foundation for decades of excellence.

Infant massage uses different strokes to comfort and soothe children. Massage releases endorphins, the "feel good" chemicals released when eating chocolate or after working out, and oxytocin, a hormone that reduces fear and increases trust. The chemical response helps relieve most discomforts infants experience including teething, colic, chest congestion, and stress. Parents who practice infant massage gain confidence while bonding with their child. Additionally, parents report that their children's sensory awareness improves and that the children sleep longer and more deeply.

Lisa Dalbey, the Mettler Center's certified infant massage instructor, will be offering two types of infant massage classes. One class, offered in a group setting, teaches parents general massage techniques. The second class tailors massage generalities to match your infants' needs.
