Medically Oriented Gym
In March 2007, we doubled our space with the addition of a new gym and fitness area, which provides us with the means to continually restore movement and promote fitness at the highest level for our patients.
What is a Medically Oriented Gym
Over the past few decades, research has demonstrated the strong relationship between healthy living and active participation in some form of exercise program. Research has also shown that individuals with a multitude of medical diagnoses often lead sedentary lifestyles accompanied by poor diet and minimal physical exercise. Reports indicate that the incidence of obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes is of epidemic proportion and needs to be immediately addressed.
The purpose of our Medically Oriented Gym, or MOG, is to offer these individuals a place to safely exercise under supervision, receive information and guidance to improve their nutrition, and begin a path toward wellness and improved health.
Our new facility is organized to support medically compromised individuals having chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Hypertension, Diabetes and more...
We also have a Personal Fitness Trainer, Judi Conlin, on staff who specializes in individual fitness training and conditioning. Judi is dedicated to ensuring a smooth transition from Physical Therapy to movement and conditioning for our patients. She can also setup a training routine that is appropriate for you and your health and fitness goals.
Our Facility
We wanted to offer something different. A place that offered the best equipment and programs in a comfortable, human-scale facility where people could come in and work out as they wished – fast, slow, with a trainer, or without, following a formal program, or autonomously. Our facility also offers our patients a place to continue their rehabilitation in a professional and comfortable environment. Our gym is designed to facilitate a total body workout, including cardio, strength and flexibility. The gym includes state-of-the-art exercise machines as well as treadmills, elliptical machines, bicycles and specialized equipment for athletes. Our fitness trainer is ready to assist as needed and available for one-to-one or group workouts.
