As part of our commitment to senior health and well-being, Ascend Rehab offers a wide range of fitness and wellness opportunities, in both group and individual settings, for residents and community members. We take a comprehensive approach to wellness, considering clients’ health and medical histories, current capabilities and wellness goals. Continued participation in a wellness program helps you maintain the gains you've made after recovery and rehabilitation following a surgery or illness.
But we’re so much more than a fitness center. Our programs are developed and facilitated by highly-trained, certified therapists and fitness specialists. We begin with a complete fitness assessment by a therapist, who creates a customized program or exercise prescription with fitness and wellness recommendations. This exercise prescription is carried out at our outpatient therapy clinic locations.
Our equipment is specialized for older adults and pre-programmed for the individual. Onsite residents receive a fitness center membership with their rent; we offer reasonable rates for community members. Our one-on-one services are available to seniors living at home within a five-mile radius of one of our current locations.
We offer a variety of fitness classes, tailored to all skill levels and abilities:
- FUNctional Fitness – a well-rounded, FUN class designed to improve overall fitness with activities and equipment that build strength, endurance, balance, mobility and flexibility.
