BLU by ThriveWell Sponsors Tower Forum Summer Social

On August 26, BLU by ThriveWell^TM proudly sponsored the Tower Forum Summer Social, a lively gathering at the Oceanic on the Pompano Beach Pier. The event brought together local business leaders for networking and community connection.

Attendees also heard updates from Pompano Beach Mayor Rex Hardin, and our CEO, Dr. Gordon Chen, shared insights on the three keys to a longer, healthier life:

1. Know your hidden fat: Visceral fat, the fat surrounding your organs, is silent, inflammatory, and dangerous. It explains why someone who appears thin can still be at risk for a heart attack or stroke. The good news is that it’s modifiable. With a Lunar iDXA scan, a medical-grade test offered at BLU, members can see and track their visceral fat over time to improve their health.

2. Know your fitness age:
Your VO₂ Max, the body’s ability to use oxygen during peak exercise, is one of the strongest predictors of longevity and quality of life. Every two-point improvement lowers the risk of death by 10%. And it’s trainable. Whether your goal is climbing mountains at 70, keeping up with grandkids, or simply feeling more alive, VO₂ Max tells you where you stand and how much you can improve.

3. Know where to go:
That’s why we built BLU. Some members come for the energy of indoor pickleball in air-conditioned comfort. Others seek the stillness of yoga or Pilates, the renewal of sauna and cold plunge, or advanced recovery therapies like hyperbaric chambers and IV therapy.

As Dr. Chen reminded the audience, “If you want to add years to your life and life to your years, come see us at BLU by ThriveWell. Together, we’re not just building a facility, we’re building a movement for health, vitality, and purpose.”

The Tower Forum Summer Social was a wonderful opportunity to embrace one of ThriveWell’s 5 Drivers of Health and Wellness, Community, while connecting with the vibrant business leaders of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach.
