It's HOT. This is my first Dallas summer in quite some time and cooling off at the Bar Belmont has been a life saver. Not only is this the best view of Dallas I have ever seen it's a great shaded place to cool off. My current favorite is a Blantons on the rocks and the infamous Belmont cheese plate. You can find me here at least 3 nights a week complaining about the heat. Come join me, I need new friends in Dallas.

In honor of our hot hot heat I bring to you the
"Hotter than Hell" room Rate.

All Standard Rooms in August will be priced to match the high temperature of the day and will include a $25 bar tab at Bar Belmont. So, we'll book you at $110 and adjust your rate to match the high temperature of the day! If the temperature is 94°, your room rate will be adjusted to $94. You must call the hotel to make your reservations, 877.476.3378 (special rate DOES NOT apply to internet or travel agent reservations). Offer is based on availability, August 1 through the 31st. Please reference code "ITSHOTASHELLANDIAMGOINGTODIE" when making your reservation.

BELMONT HEALTH CLUB
2001 Sylvan Avenue
Dallas, TX 75208

Belmont Health Club Philosophy:  NUTRITION

No matter how much time is spent in exercise, optimum health calls for attention to what goes into our bodies as well.  None of us would put the wrong type of fuel (or weak, watered-down fuel) into our automobiles.  How much more important are our bodies?  The body uses nutrients to rebuild, renew and replenish itself.  You truly become what you eat.

One approach to nutrition is simply to pay attention to what you eat.  Read labels.  If you can't pronounce it, don’t put it into your body.  If it wasn’t available 200 years ago, don’t eat it.  Eat the freshest food with the least chemicals possible.

At the health club we also emphasize metabolic typing.  Each individual is unique.  No diet works for everyone.  Some of us need a greater percentage of fats and proteins, while others thrive on more carbohydrates.  Finding the right combination for yourself enables you to have more energy without starving yourself.

Eat well to live well!
