An 8-week medical fitness program for individuals with chronic diseases/illnesses, injuries, difficulty overcoming illness, as well as individuals looking to start their health and well-being journey. Our program follows those of ACSM guidelines to ensure that our participants are exercising safely! We begin the program admittance process with a referral from a physician, physical therapist, nurse practitioner, or anyone licensed to give care. We bring participants in for a pre-assessment appointment. We conduct a variety of tests including: resting vitals, strength tests, endurance tests, and flexibility tests. We talk to the participant and understand their goals and worries. We write a customized exercise plan for each individual, ensuring that they are performing exercises that really match up to what their goals of the program are! Participants complete two 60-minute supervised group exercise sessions per week for 7 weeks. Each exercise session is overseen by one of our degreed and certified fitness specialists. Participants come back in for a post-assessment appointment, where we see how their fitness and health levels have improved over the past 8 weeks!

I am also going to attach a copy of a welcome letter that we provide to inquiring and new participants, as well as a sample referral form, just so you can see a little bit more in depth about what the program is!
