Gilda Valenzuela’s Peak Human Modern Wellness: A Revolution in Health and Fitness

In the quest for better health, Gilda Valenzuela decided to leave her corporate career and explore a new path. Five years ago, she founded Peak Human Modern Wellness in St. Charles, a unique fitness studio that offers more than just traditional workouts. The studio features advanced health modalities, including cryotherapy, hyperbaric therapy, body contouring treatments, and skin rejuvenation therapies aimed at addressing both aesthetic concerns and health conditions.

Valenzuela stated, ‘When people look good, they feel good. Our main goal is to help people.’ Since opening, she has welcomed numerous clients seeking to improve their overall health, whether through recovery from athletic activities or managing chronic pain. The therapies offered are designed to promote improved blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and elevate energy levels while providing relaxation.

Her journey into this business was inspired by a personal experience with cryotherapy, where she experienced what she described as ‘the best sleep of my life.’ Valenzuela, who had spent over a decade in medical device sales, recognized a significant need for accessible health modalities and the chance for people to achieve optimal wellness.

Clients often find their way to Peak Human through online articles or videos highlighting the benefits of various services. Valenzuela emphasizes the importance of educating clients about their health options, saying, ‘We want to empower people to make decisions about their health by giving them access to certain modalities.’

The studio recently relocated to a larger facility at 2422 W. Main St., allowing for an even greater focus on providing these services. Valenzuela shares that the studio functions similarly to a fitness center where clients can purchase memberships to access services more frequently for maximum health benefits.

Through testimonials, Valenzuela has witnessed the impact of these health modalities on her clients, who find relief from pain and discomfort through innovative practices. ‘This can be an added tool in your arsenal to help with pain management,’ she noted.
