CLINICAL INTEGRATION
The focus of a medically integrated fitness facility is to promote healthy lifestyle choices as pertains to treating lifestyle-related disease, illness, and injury through participation in physical activity. Participation in any of our clinically integrated fitness programs is done through a referral by a qualifying medical professional.
We are a more comfortable place for people who suffer from medical issues because we’re more adaptive and equipped to help you navigate how to work out within those restrictions or parameters. Our fitness programs can often be adjusted to work around casts, braces, and other limitations in order to keep you moving towards your fitness goals!
We pride ourselves on having close relationships with our members. From your initial assessment, we work closely with this medical team to understand your medical history and reason for a referral before developing your workout regimen. This ensures that your workout is designed for you and your unique wellness needs.

The Strong for Surgery target programs include (but not limited to): joint replacement surgeries (shoulder, hip, knee, etc), gastric by-pass, neck fusion, and any other surgeries that are associated with a significant amount of recovery time.
Stage one is an 8-week exercise program that takes place before surgery. The goal of this program is to help reduce post-surgical complications and recovery times by increasing strength and range of motion prior to surgery. Studies have shown that the stronger the patient is before the surgery, the quicker the recovery process is and the patient is able to get back to pre-surgery activities quicker. Stage 2 is an 8-week program that begins after you have undergone your surgery and have been cleared to resume an exercise regimen.
