 Exercise is Medicine™ 

    Exercise is Medicine™ is an initiative focused on encouraging primary care physicians and other health care providers to include exercise when             designing treatment plans for patients. Exercise is Medicine is committed to the belief that exercise and physical activity are integral in the prevention     and treatment of diseases and should be regularly assessed as part of all medical care.

    Physical inactivity is a fast-growing public health problem and contributes to a variety of chronic diseases and health complications, including obesity,     heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, depression and anxiety, arthritis, and osteoporosis. In addition to improving a patient’s overall health,     increasing physical activity has proven effective in the treatment and prevention of chronic diseases.

    A key component of Exercise is Medicine involves calling on health care providers, regardless of specialty, to review and assess every patient’s             physical activity level at every visit. Patients should be counseled on exercise regimens, with office visits concluding with exercise clearance and             prescription or referral to a certified health and fitness professional. The initiative aims to have physical activity recorded as a vital sign during patient     visits and to encourage able patients to meet the U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines by participating in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity             physical activity per week through, for example, 30 minutes of physical activity, five days per week.

    Total Life Fitness is committed to the ideal of Exercise is Medicine™ and it's preventative and restorative approach to health. Currently, we offer         the following classes:
