Get Fit with the Med-Fit Program!!

The Center for Rehabilitation and Fitness at West Hills Hospital & Medical Center has an excellent program designed specifically for patients who are unfamiliar with gym equipment and unsure where to start with a fitness regimen.

The Med-Fit program is a perfect fit! You will work with a licensed physical therapist who not only will design an exercise program specifically tailored to your needs, he will make sure you learn how to use equipment and how to exercise in a way that prevents injury!

This program is structured around six weekly meetings and the cost is only $125. The sixth meeting is typically slated with a Registered Dietitian but since our Bariatric patients meet regularly with one of our RDs, you can request a sixth meeting with the physical therapist.

Med-Fit is a wonderful way to start your journey down the road to good health. Please remember that you should not start this program until six weeks after your surgery.
