A new gym that just opened in Chandler offers a fitness program like none other in the East Valley.

This is the first basketball-focused fitness center, said Jay Bhakta, the Gilbert man who owns PickUp USA at 221 E. Willis Road.

While many gyms provide basketball courts, PickUp USA offers organized, scored and officiated games by trained referees.

It allows you to play on a team during timed, 10-minute games, said Bhakta. Were the first franchisee here in Arizona. Were expanding all over the U.S. right now.

We run officiated games six days a week. We have two trained officials at all times on the court, rotated out. So, theyre fresh referees. Its highly organized.

Members simply put their name on a list, and are rotated into games.

You get a real-game experience, added Bhakta. You get the buzzer beaters, the shot clocks, the fouls.

There are 10-minute games so the winner stays in and you reset the clock and the next game comes in 10 minutes, 10 minutes, back-to-back.

PickUp USA doesnt have all the nuances of a regular pickup game like at a park the foul calls, the hacking, the arguments and whos next, he added.

Pickup games are for anyone 15 and older but anyone as young as 5 can become a member and have access to the courts.

We have the group-training sessions available to them, said Bhakta. They are basketball focused, hour-long boot camps. So, they work on different parts of the game for that hour: shooting, dribbling, passing.

Gustine Crispin is already a member along with her sons.

First of all, I love basketball, Crispin said. Ive been playing basketball for over 40 years. And now I have kids. My boys are 13 and 11. And this is a great place for them This is a basketball heaven.

Her older son Jamison, who goes by Jam, has been playing basketball four years and likes the idea of getting a workout and fine-tuning his skills at a gym.

I like it, Jam said. Plus, I usually dont sweat when I go somewhere, but now Im sweating a lot.

He just wishes there were pickup games for his age group because he has a goal of making it big: I will be an NBA player.

PickUp USA General Manager Steven Lancaster played professional basketball in Europe for six years after college.

Basketball in itself has been a huge part of my life, Lancaster said. It has helped me get a scholarship for school so no student debt, so thats a big thing. It helped me travel, not just the country, but in the world as well, playing in different tournaments and playing basketball overseas.

He also played basketball with NBA All-Star LeBron James in high school.

In high school, we were on the same Amateur Athletic Union team. We were teammates when we were 15 all the way to seniors in high school.

Lancaster has been playing basketball since he was 5, but tried other sports such as football, baseball and martial arts.

As a freshman in high school, he was 53. But he had a growth spurt and grew to his current 63 by his sophomore year.

Once I started to dunk a basketball, then basketball took my heart, said Lancaster, who grew up in Ohio. From there, I went to polish my skills and my craft and that turned into being an All-State performer, being rated one of the top players in the state. That translated to scholarship offers. From there, that translated into being a professional.

After voluntarily leaving professional basketball, Lancaster became a trainer.

So when this opportunity came about, I told myself, what better way to continue my love of basketball into something to give back to other people? he said, adding:

It kind of works out best in both worlds to kind of be the face of a place that is basketball and also to be able to train and to develop athletes, as well, so they can get whatever goals they want out of basketball.

Lancaster prides himself in teaching things not taught by other trainers and coaches. He says he approaches training in a way that translates into a game situation.

These young athletes who come here, they are entrusting us with the most important part of their life, which is their sport. Granted, they all go to school but for most athletes, the thing they love most is their sport.

He not only holds himself to high standards, but the staff as well.

Everybody who trains with me or anybody at PickUp USA, I challenge them to challenge our trainers. If they cant give you an answer, then they shouldnt be here, and thats me included.

Sonal Patel isnt a member but is thinking about it. She dropped by to check out the new facility.

I think the concept is actually brilliant, Patel said. When I was in school, we played pickup at the park, wherever we could find a half court. Ive been looking for a gym centered on being able to play pickup games and focuses strictly on basketball.

She even jokes that when parents drop their kids off to play basketball, they no longer have an excuse not to work since the gym also offers a full fitness center.

Aside from that, Patel added, Team sports in general do such a great job at building confidence in kids. And having another avenue to have an opportunity to do that for your kids is great. And its probably more affordable than private club basketball and tournaments. I think its a great idea.

Gym membership is $29.95 a month and includes access to the full cardio and full-weight rooms with the free weights plus access to the basketball courts. For pickup games, the monthly fee is $59.95.

The pickup games are scheduled six days a week: Monday-Thursday, 6-10 p.m.; Saturday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; and Sunday, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.

For ages five and up, members get access to the courts year-round, seven days a week. They also get the group-training sessions, which run at various times throughout the week.

If you have any ounce of interest in basketball, this is the place for you, said Bhakta. If you even slightly love shooting rounds, playing basketball, its for everybody. Any skill level, any age, its for everyone.

Baseline average in the phentermine group was 229.6lbs vs. 209.7lbs in the OPTIFAST group

This article is written live from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) 2017 Annual Meeting in Austin, TX. MPR will be reporting news on the latest findings from leading experts in endocrinology. Check back for more news from AACE 2017.

A medically supervised weight loss program over 6 months led to a significant improvement in glycemic control, presented Jonathan Allen, MS, RD, from the North Florida Regional Thyroid Center, at the AACE 2017 Annual Meeting.

The rise of obesity over the past 40 years has brought with it a significant rise in prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, carrying health, financial, and social burdens. A loss of 5% of body weight has demonstrated significant improvements in blood pressure, lipid levels (eg, HDL, triglycerides), and blood sugar. A loss of 1015% of body weight has also demonstrated a higher likelihood of achieving health improvements.

Weight loss recommendations start with an initial lifestyle modification, including improved dietary intake and more physical activity. Medication therapy is also available for patients who have severe comorbidities as are medically supervised meal replacement programs when major dietary interventions are warranted.

Allen and colleagues conducted a retrospective study to assess phentermine and the OPTIFAST diet program on weight and diabetes outcomes at 6 months. They reviewed 15 patients who completed treatment with phentermine and 6 patients who completed 6 months of the OPTIFAST program with HbA1c >6%. At baseline, the average in the phentermine group was 229.6lbs vs. 209.7lbs in the OPTIFAST group.

The analysis showed a significant effect on HbA1c where phentermine therapy led to a 0.06% increase vs. a 1.8% decrease with OPTIFAST (P<0.001). There was a 50.3lbs (17.9%) decrease in weight among phentermine patients vs. 13.6lbs (6.0%) decrease in weight among the OPTIFAST patients. Moreover, one-third of the patients in the phentermine group had a decrease in antidiabetic medications and all participants in the OPTIFAST decreased antidiabetic medications by 50% or discontinued completely.

In general, improved glycemic control was seen following a 6-month, medically supervised meal replacement weight loss program. "Despite reduced or discontinued diabetes medication, sustained weight loss promotes improvements in long-term blood glucose control," concluded Allen.

Verify: Is tequila good for you?

Dana Thiede, KARE 7:21 PM. CDT May 06, 2017

In recent days, we've noticed posts and videos popping up on social media touting the medicinal benefits of the clear liquor, saying it helps you sleep, lose weight, and can even cure a common cold. Question is, are those claims true, or a hearty shot of hyperbole?

To answer the question "Is tequila good for you?" KARE11's Cory Hepola talked to two expert sources: Simeon Phelps, Beverage Director for the popular Nico's Taco and Tequila Bar in Minneapolis as well asAllina Health Dietician Elizabeth Vander Laan.

Phelps brought up agave, a cactus varietal that is the main ingredient in tequila. Some experts tout its ability to replace sugars, aiding in weight loss. Agave's anti-inflammatoryand immune-boosting properties have also been cited, and the website sheknows.com claims the Aztecs used agave syrup to treat wounds because of its antibacterial properties. Three years ago, the American Chemical Society did report that a sweetener created from the agave plant could help certain people with diabetes lose weight.

So if tequila is made of agave it has to be good for you, right? Not so much, said Vander Laan.

"There's not even that type of sugar left in it because it's fermented out," Vander Laan said, talking about the process of distilling agave into tequila.

Does it really help you sleep?

"It's a depressant, so it might help you actually get to sleep, but I'm not sure it's that restful sleep," asserted Vander Haan. The National Sleep Foundation agrees, saying alcohol interrupts your circadian rhythm, blocks REM sleep and can aggravate breathing problems.

How about weight loss? "An ounce and a half of hard alcohol is about 80 calories," says Vander Haan, not even mentioning the sweet, caloric stuff tequila is frequently mixed with.

And that whole dead about curing colds? "They used to use it back in the 30's, back when you could order all sorts of crazy things for the Sears catalog, right? No, there's no evidence to support that," Vander Haan insisted.

At this point, we can safely say KARE 11 has verified that tequila is NOT good for you, despite some of the claims you may have seen on social media. Vander Laandoes say that moderate alcohol use of any variety may have some positive heart benefits for some, but alcohol is also hard on your liver, increases the risk of certain cancers, and can be addictive.

If you're going to drink tequila this Cinco de Mayo, Vander Haan says to do it in moderation, and if you're not a tequila drinker.... don't start swilling it for your health.

TOP 7 reasons to drink a glass of wine. Like sometimes draining a glass of wine, know the difference between the base notes of Cabernet and Pinot Noir, or just like to enjoy a glass of red after a long day of work? But when there is so much talk about healthy lifestyles and the dangers of alcohol, drinks like something go by the wayside.

The experts decided to tell you what are the benefits and harms of wine for health.

First of all, it should be said that the benefit of red wine significantly greater than the benefits of white wine, so we mostly go about it.

Why it is useful to drink wine? 1. Use for immunityRed wine reduces the risk of illness, the secret is in the ingredient resveratrol. It is produced by plants in response to damage, ensuring its immunity and helps him to survive. Man this antioxidant helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and dementia, protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation, increases the protective functions of the organism, improves blood circulation and removes cholesterol. Good, right?

2. For glowing skinThe benefits of wine for women lies in its impact on our skin. Resveratrol slows the growth of acne causing bacteria and gives the skin a healthy glow. This property of red wine is actively used on some models. To look good in the photos, the evening before the shooting they drink a glass of red wine. This life hack helps their skin look fresh and healthy the next morning.

3. Makes teeth strongerRed wine strengthens our 32 pearls. Although a glass of red wine can leave on our teeth temporary pinkish plaque, it also has some useful health of the oral cavity properties. Wine contains polyphenols that help block harmful bacteria, not allowing them to stick to the teeth.

4. Helps to relaxResveratrol stimulates the secretion of anti-stress protein PARP-1, which activates genes responsible for DNA repair. And it also promotes longevity.

5. Improves digestionAll these polyphenols contained in wine, is actually quite difficult to digest. Doesnt sound useful, but Spanish scientists have found that polyphenols the best food for the good bacteria living in our gut.

6. Promotes weight lossResveratrol helps to lose weight. Just listen to about the positive results of these studies: one from the University of Washington reports that resveratrol helps convert white fat into brown fat which is easier to burn. And Harvard University 13 years have seen 20,000 women and found that those who drank two glasses of wine every day are 70 percent less likely to suffer from overweight. In addition, other studies have shown that resveratrol also helps suppress appetite.

7. Can improve the performance on the trainingAs strange as it may sound, but wine is useful for athletes. Resveratrol can enhance performance. In the course of a couple of studies it was found that the effect of resveratrol can enhance the effect of the exercises. However, the studies were conducted in rats and found that achieving results requires much more resveratrol than you will find in one glass of wine.

One glass of red wine contains from 0.29 to 1.89 milligrams, says Lauren Schmitt, a nutritionist, a certified personal trainer and owner of Healthy Eating And Training Inc., Less than 146 milligrams used in the study.

That is, the person would have to literally drink before to improve performance. But whether you are then able to train. And the hangover the next morning all will bring all the benefits of such exercises to zero. Perhaps the studies in which the subjects drinking non-alcoholic wine. But thats another story.

Perhaps paragraph 7 is not so good news. But the other benefits of red wine can safely use. The main thing not to drink wine huge doses, because the abuse of alcohol will turn all its advantages into disadvantages.

The maximum benefit of red wine will bring, if we limit ourselves to one glass a day. And dont forget the wine overloaded with sugar (wine is made from grapes), so it is best to prefer dry varieties. The benefits and harms of wine for health is defined by the moderate consumption.

I started wondering about diets lately.

By wondering, I mean, wondering why everyone else is on one and Im not. I probably should be. Most everyone I know is on one of the following: The Caveman diet (they call it Paleo but I call it caveman). They can only eat meat and lettuce. I tried this once. I think I lasted a full day but I really dont remember. It could have been just half of that. There's the Green-only cleansing diet. I have several friends doing this. I have no idea what that entails, but I assume it is the same diet as above only without the animals(or meat). Anything green is cool.

Im good with that for the most part. Once, I ate only orange stuff all day. Not on purpose, it just turned out that carrots, oranges and Diet Sunkist were the only things I had handy. Dont ask me why thats not a real diet. If there is a green-only regimen, why cant there be an orange one? My guess is because people would figure out that Cheetos and cheese crackers are also orange and that would wreck everything. Who knows?

Daughter No. 1is always saying she cant eat anything white. Bread, rice, pasta, all that is a no. Id have to rule that one out because Im sure white chocolate would not be allowed, andthe minute you tell me I cant have it, all Id want is that.

Daughter No. 2became a vegetarian, but that was after she became a vegan. She went through that one in high school and it nearly killed me. There are only so many frozen, black bean veggie burgers with no animal broth added that one can consume. Andshe considered kale a necessity. Kale that we bought, but never figured out how to make properly. So, then it became brown kale. Brown stuff was not allowed on someones diet, but I cant remember which one.

I probably could start my own diet plan. Wed call it the Society diet. You know, it would sort of remind you of the Hollywood diet. If you follow the Society diet, you basically survive on hors doeurves and wine or whatever cocktail you like when you go out.

This diet also reminds me of the movie "Mermaids" with Cher and Winona Ryder.Remember that scene where she cant make any real food at home because she only knows how to make hors doeuvers? She even has to cut her kids sandwiches into little stars. I totally get that now.

Sugar is allowed on the Society diet because, well, it is in almost everything and it is impolite to turn it down in some circles.

Then,during Lent and the months of June and July, you dont go out at all and youlive on salad and vitamin water. That pretty much makes up for the rest of the year.

Im kidding, of course. Please dont try this at home unless you are a highly trained professional.

I think I prefer Ms. Ella Meaux's diet. She retired from Borden's after 56 years, at the age of 86. She said sheate ice cream every day. All I cansay is,Ms. Ella,whatever you did, it worked, so carry on!

Gluten-free diets have become one of the nations most popular diet trends, but for those who dont actually have celiac disease, the diet could increase the risk for heart attacks.

The findings come froma new study published Tuesday in the British Medical Journal spearheaded by researchers at Columbia University Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School.

Scientists examinedmore than 100,000 men and women (all U.S. health professionals without history of heart disease) whocompleted a detailed food questionnaire beginning in 1986 and updated it every four years until 2010.

The questionnaire offered scientists a look at participants gluten intake, which the researchers used to divide them into five groups from low gluten intake to high gluten intake to ultimately calculate how likely they were to develop heart disease over approximately 26 years.

The one limitation of the study is that it couldnt account for non-celiacs with a very low-gluten orgluten-free diet.

The results revealed those in the high intake group had similar rates of heart disease thanpeople in the low intake group, concluding that those who avoid eating gluten by choice and not due to a condition like celiac disease aren't actually helping their cardiovascular systems.

In fact, researchers said, gluten-free diets may end up causing harm.

This is because people with restricted gluten intake often eat a diet high in refined grains, but low in fiber-rich whole grains, which are tied to lower heart risk.

"We can't say with certainty that this is a cause-and-effect association," study investigator Andrew Chantold HealthDay. But, he said, "For the vast majority of people who can tolerate it, restricting gluten to improve your overall health is likely not to be a beneficial strategy, and based on the data, consuming a low-gluten diet specifically for heart health doesnt appear warranted, either, he said.

Another study researcher, Peter H.R. Green, said anytime someone eliminates entirecategories of food theyve been used to eating, theres a risk of nutritional deficiencies.

"Unless people are very careful, a gluten-free diet can lack vitamins, minerals and fiber, he said.

Weve all had dreams of living on the Mediterranean. Blue waters, white sand, and mountains looking fake in the background. But TBH, what were really dreaming about is the food: fresh-caught fish, perfect al dente pasta, handpicked vegetables, creamy cheeses. All foods that are are included on the ever-so-popular Mediterranean diet. You know, the one dietitians, health gurus, and Pinterest boards are all gaga over. And so are we.

Mostly because, well, it's really not a diet.(Diets are the worst!) It's a lifestyle. Forget strict calorie counting or staying within macronutrient guidelines. Instead, this way of eating focuses on getting in plenty of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, olive oil, and grains. Pasta is, of course, one of these grains (insert *praise hands emoji*), providing plant-based proteins and boasting a low glycemic index (meaning less chance of a blood sugar spike and crash). Moderate amounts of fish, poultry, dairy, eggs, and alcohol, mainly in the form of red wine, are also included in the diet. (This just keeps getting better.)Meat, dairy, and processed sugars are on the don't-eat-it-every-day list.

When it comes to its health benefits, the proof is in the pudding (err... the olive tapenade). Research shows that people who live near the Mediterranean Sea and follow their old-school eating patterns face fewer health woes including heart disease, diabetes, and depression. The lifestyle can also seriously help with weight loss.

Before you pack your bags and move to Italy or a sunny Greek isle (although, #goals) to reap the life-prolonging perks of the Mediterranean diet, you can eat like an Italian simply by loading up your grocery cart with these Mediterranean-inspired staples. Cook up the combos below for a weeks worth of healthy Mediterranean diet-approved meals.

Fish + Spinach + Almonds Plate it: Top a plate of baby spinach with chunks of grilled fish, sliced almonds, and a drizzle of olive oil and red wine vinegar.

Pasta + Mozzarella + Cherry tomatoes Plate it: Toss cooked pasta with chopped mozzarella, halved tomatoes, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a couple pinches salt.

Chickpeas + Cherry Tomatoes + Spinach Plate it: In a saucepan, combine tomatoes and chickpeas with a splash of red wine vinegar;simmer 15 minutes and then stir in baby spinach.

Chicken + Chickpeas + Almonds Plate it: In a bowl, combine grilled chicken with olive oil mayonnaise (or just olive oil), canned chickpeas, chopped almonds, and fresh lemon juice; stuff into whole-grain pitas.

Pasta + Chicken + Parsley Plate it: Toss cooked pasta with grilled chicken, chopped parsley, and fresh lemon juice.

Dried Cherries + Fish + Parsley Plate it: Simmer dried cherries with a splash of balsamic vinegar and grated lemon zest until saucy. Plate a handful of spinach topped with grilled fish, parsley, and cherry sauce.

Pasta + Mozzarella + Dried cherries Plate it: Toss cooked pasta with fresh mozzarella, dried cherries, olive oil, and a couple pinches salt and pepper. For more protein, add in some fish or chicken.

"'Think thin' is not a slogan we need associated with a fierce warrior," the Mary Sue states. Ahead of Wonder Woman's release in theaters next month, the superhero film has entered into a promotional partnership with thinkThin, maker of diet products.

Unsurprisingly, people see some problems with the first major female-led superhero film being tied to weight-loss snacks. Wonder Woman should be an "opportunity to ... celebrate the female form not as a subject of desire but a source of power," Salon argues.

And the Daily Dot says linking Wonder Woman to thinkThin focuses attention on her appearance instead of her actions, doing a disservice to a "feminist icon." There had already been a lot of focus on Wonder Woman's body, with Gal Gadot being called "too skinny" when she was cast in 2013.

Add to that a thinkThin survey identifying invisibility as women's most desired superpowerMary Sue argues it highlights a "hard to ignore" link between diet messages aimed at women and a desire to have their body disappear entirelyand Wonder Woman has become an example of the "unrealistic standards" women have to deal with: Be strong like the Amazonian warrior, but make sure you maintain the thin figure that society deems attractive.

Venerable Midtown department store Saks Fifth Avenue is clearing the clothing racks and turning its second floor into a pop-up health-and-wellness mecca called the Saks Wellery.

The 16,000-square-foot space, which opens Monday, is like a healthy-living food court, with over 20 different vendors hawking everything from boutique fitness classes, athleisure gear for men and women, beauty products, exercise equipment, manicures, meditation and even salt rooms.

We started looking into [how] our customers were living their lives and what they were looking for when they had free time, says Roopal Patel, Saks fashion director. Its not just about what you put on the outside of your body thats important, but how you treat the inside of your body. In other words, after sweating away those extra pounds in a Tracy Anderson class on Saks second floor, you can fit into the Rag & Bone jeans it sells three floors up.

Before they started construction on the new space which had housed contemporary, ready-to-wear and designer collections the folks at Saks created a comprehensive list of their favorite wellness-related brands, including Care/of (customized vitamins); Breathe Salt Rooms (for dry salt therapy); Blink Brow Bar; Sundays Nail Studio (vegan and non-toxic manicures and massages), Skinney Medspa (laser hair removal); and Peloton bikes.

Fitness options include Bendable Body (stretching); ModelFit (exercise), a Victorias Secret Angel favorite; Bari Studio (dance and conditioning); and Drive 495 (personalized training).

The Wellery even includes Conbody, a prison-style boot camp taught by rehabilitated convicts. Founder Coss Marte was speaking at a wellness event in February when a Saks executive approached him about joining their new concept.

I literally said, Fk yeah, and we got the process moving, says Marte who has a popular studio on the Lower East Side.

People will be able to book classes through the MindBody app, and there will also be a fitness concierge on hand to help schedule appointments.

There are no showers, but the changing rooms will be stocked with shower wipes.

The pop-up remains open through Oct. 31, when the space will turn into a floor for beauty products.
