Medical exercise is a specialty service offered at NY FITPROS. Their trainers are certified medical exercise and post-rehab specialists. Their team possesses advanced medical knowledge of the human body, giving them a greater understanding of how to use exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications to help you get better faster. Their academic background includes clinical anatomy/pathology, medical exercise development, and assessment guidelines for more than 60 medical conditions.

The NY FITPROS mission is to help “Bridge the Gap Between Healthcare and Fitness.”
Their ultimate goal is to improve functional outcomes that have been impaired by injury, surgery, and the onset of medical conditions. Their conditioning programs target balance, range of motion & flexibility, muscle recruitment, strength, coordination, power, joint stability, endurance, and proprioception. These components make up the spokes of the function wheel, working hand-in-hand to optimize a client’s functional capacity.

When you come in for a medical exercise consultation at NY FITPROS, you can expect a thorough evaluation. The team focuses on figuring out how your body works and finding out what it needs to optimize health and wellness. The patient must first undergo an initial consultation that includes a pre-participation screening to determine their health and fitness level, including an evaluation of their medical history. This process allows them to provide the appropriate Medical Exercise Training (MET) and prevent medically unstable clients from entering the program.
At NY FITPROS, the team does not rely on trial-and-error. Instead, they use the latest methods and tools to thoroughly assess your body's significant functional aspects to determine the right exercise program for you. The SMART START Assessment establishes your baseline fitness level, allowing them to assess your current capacity and exercise capability. Ultimately, the results will show whether you require one-on-one training, buddy training, and small group training sessions. Participants in the medical exercise program are also given a heart monitor to use during their workouts.
The SMART START Assessment evaluates:

Your medical exercise program will also include ongoing analyses and interpretation of body fat, metabolism, and other performance metrics to assess the program’s effectiveness.
