The Healthplex® Sports Club’s wellness programs are designed to help you bridge the gap between your hospital-based outpatient treatment and your return to an independent exercise program.

Our programs are led by exercise specialists in consultation with other medical professionals. Wellness programs meet the requirements of the American College of Sports Medicine and are approved by the Healthplex® Medical Advisory Board.

To ensure that you can safely participate, we require a referral from your doctor or other health care provider before you begin. Your doctor will receive progress reports on a regular basis.
