Medical Fitness

The Medical Fitness Center Difference

Wellness involves more than just weight loss and physical appearance. Medical Fitness Centers use customized exercise programs to target disease prevention and management. Medical Fitness Centers employ college degreed Exercise Specialists with backgrounds in orthopedics, rehabilitation and sports medicine.

When necessary, we work closely with physicians and physical therapists to design the program best suited to your individual needs. Specifically, our reputation for helping seniors improve their fitness makes us unique in the Gainesville community.

Individual Approach / Fitness Evaluation

We start with a comprehensive fitness evaluation. Then, we customize an exercise program that factors in age, medical history, current medications, orthopedic limitations and any other conditions needing consideration. We monitor blood pressure and exercising heart rates. In order to maximize safety and ensure you are performing the exercises correctly, we supervise the exercise floor at all times.

Regular Follow-Up

Every quarter, we reevaluate your exercise program. This allows us to monitor your progress, reset goals and change-up your routine to help you stay motivated and on track toward achieving your long-term fitness goals. Seeing your progress and keeping variety in your routine keeps your muscles challenged and your mind engaged. This is one of the reasons medical fitness centers have higher retention rates than many commercial health clubs.

Medical Connection / Health Insurance Coverage
