Legacy Sport & Wellness Center

A Center of Excellence

Legacy Sport & Wellness opened the first ELDOA-Sport & Wellness Training Center in North America.  The Center has two divisions:  the Sport & Wellness Training Program and the Legacy Institute.  At the Center, Legacy’s clients receive customized exercise programs adapted for a specific problem or goal:  sports related, preventative, corrective, maintenance or aesthetic.  The Legacy Institute is a teaching facility concentrated on the research in physical exercise and osteopathy.

““I’ve known Scott for about 10 years now, and I will say that these techniques have completely redefined the way I do my work. We have used these techniques at Texas A&M to help our athletes be their best.
I can tell you that a lot of pumping went into this years National Championship.””

What is the Legacy Client Experience? It is an immersion for you and your client(s) in all things Legacy.

Bring a client or clients to Dallas.  Schedule your Legacy visit for two days, four days or five days…or create something that best suits your client’s needs. Tell us what you want to work on and Legacy will craft a program using all our resources.

We offer exercise programs,  presentations on essential oils and Clinical Aromatherapy formulas, Massage Therapy, detoxification, anatomy biomechanics, healthy food choices, soft tissue work, lifestyle coaching, dry sauna and water therapy to name just a few choices.

The Legacy Experience is broken down into a morning program and an afternoon program with sauna at night. Lunch can be brought in for any lunchtime power point presentations. Our website has many hotel and restaurant options. There is even a bowling alley nearby for some friendly competition!

The Practitioner Experience is Legacy’s Practical Application Workshop designed for student-practitioners as a compliment to any course the Legacy School of ELDOA Training offers as well as any course in the SomaTraining or SomaTherapy curriculum. The workshops are designed to respect the educational paradigm principle “learn by doing”. This allows practitioners to receive as much hands-on practice and teaching experience as possible. The practical application curriculum is specific to the course content. The goal of these workshops is to provide an environment which allows practitioners to practice, practice, practice. The workshops are not a substitute for any of the above course work, but an adjunct to these courses.

Practical Application Workshops may be structured as half-day, one-day, or two-day workshops. The fee varies according to the length of the workshop and the complexity of the material. Participants must have taken the course for which the workshop is designed.

The Legacy Center hosts courses on our campus. Our 5,400 square foot facility has a lifting gym, an open area for training and group exercise instruction and a fully equipped classroom that can accommodate up to 60 practitioners in a multi-day format. If it is more feasible based upon the size of your staff, we can bring the educational training and course work to you. Legacy Center has designed workshops for collegiate football and track programs and professional hockey, to list a few examples. We have consulted with numerous private wellness and training facilities nationally.

The word ‘sauna’ is an ancient Finnish word which means the traditional Finnish bath as well as the bathhouse itself.

The oldest known saunas were pits dug into a slope or hill and used as homes during the winter.  The Finns used the sauna as a place to cleanse themselves, rejuvenate and refresh the spirit, prepare the dead for burial, and – because it was usually the cleanest structure and had water available – as a place to give birth.  The sauna is still an important part of daily family life in Finland and most homes have a sauna.

Saunas can be found in most cultures:  Finland, the Baltic countries, Sweden, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the UK, Southern Europe, Central America, the US, Africa, Japan, Australia, and Korea.

Legacy offers a sauna course series.

There is a physical test and the results are plugged into a formula, which determines how long one can stay in the sauna and at what temperature.  In addition, we discuss the physical, mental, and emotional benefits from starting a regular sauna practice.

Then, we take our students to the sauna!
