Our medically based exercise program is designed for individuals who graduated from cardiac-pulmonary rehabilitation, or are diabetic, or have had a stroke, and are looking for a place to continue their road to recovery.

Our degreed and certified fitness staff will provide a complimentary Fitness Assessment that will be comprised of the following tests: resting heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation levels, percent body fat, sub-max VO2, strength, and flexibility. Based on the results from the Fitness Assessment and your medical history an exercise program will be designed for your specific needs. A follow up appointment will be scheduled to walk you through the exercises, set up the equipment, and write down the settings, weight, number of sets and repetitions. During this time the Fitness Team Lead is there to answer any questions you have regarding the program or the exercises.

Classes will meet two times a week. Our staff will chart the following before and after each class:

  • Blood pressure
  • Heart rate
  • Oxygen saturation
  • Blood sugar levels (for diabetics only)

Once a month exercising BP, HR, and O2 will be recorded. During class our staff will be there to assist you with your program and provide motivation and coaching.
