Program description

M-Power Health & Fitness is an exercise and lifestyle modification program staffed by qualified health professionals. Members will work toward a healthier lifestyle in a safe and supportive environment. Heart rhythm and blood pressure will be checked as needed or upon request. The M-Power program includes an annual review with a therapist.

The program consists of:

• Evaluation: You will receive a one-on-one initial orientation/evaluation session with an exercise specialist. Your specialist will work with you to design a personalized program based on your needs and goals. Staff will communicate with you on a regular basis about your progress and offer suggestions or strategies to help you succeed and keep you motivated.
• Exercise: Programming will be based on your needs and may include exercises to enhance cardiovascular endurance, muscle conditioning, flexibility, balance, posture, or weight management.
