The Medical Fitness Centers’ Post Rehabilitation Program is designed to be a continuation of physical therapy into fitness coaching. Physical therapists will work closely with a fitness coach to transition a client from rehab to coaching. The fitness coach then picks up where the therapist left off to continue forward with the patient’s progress. This program is designed to provide the patient with five post rehabilitation fitness coaching sessions at a discounted rate. The goal is to ultimately transition the client into regular utilization of the Medical Fitness Center on their own. When a post rehabilitation client signs up for membership after their five coaching sessions initiation fees are waived.
The Medical Fitness Centers Post Fit for Life program is a continuation of Fit For Life. This program is designed to transition graduates from Fit For Life who aren’t quite ready to use the facility on their own. The program includes eight-weeks of full access membership to the facility; including group fitness, the main fitness floor and the pool. A certified fitness coach meets post fit for life members on the fitness floor for supervised workouts twice a week for an hour and also conducts a special Post Fit For Life group fitness class. The program is designed to help integrate Fit For Life graduates into using the facility, with the goal to be comfortable with the facility and its programs after the eight weeks. When a Post Fit For Life graduate joins membership after the completion of the eight weeks, initiation fees are waived.
The Medical Fitness Centers’ Bariatrics program is designed to assist in the success of patient health improvement in the Bariatrics department by providing fitness education to clients. All bariatric referrals from the Bariatrics department are offered one free consultation. This consultation maybe conducted in person or virtually. All bariatrics referrals will receive a discounted price for programs and fitness coaching once referred. The goal is to integrate fitness into their overall wellness plan to reach their goals.
