More Than Just a Gym The Medical Fitness Advantage What is medical fitness? Several factors set medical fitness facilities, including Wellness Institute, apart from other gyms or health clubs: • active, regular medical oversight; • qualified and credentialed staff; • programs for disease management, prevention and lifestyle change; • individual health screening with exercise prescription; • safety policies and ability to respond to emergencies and • a focus on community health. You can see the difference at work through the many programs we offer, free community health events and accessibility features in the facility. All our Wellness Consultants hold degrees in fitness-related fields to ensure support on the floor, while certified staff provide added expertise through wellness services and health related programs.
I’m not sick. Why would I need medical fitness?

And if you ever are injured at work or at play, you can get care through our Rehabilitation & Sports Injury Clinic.
A Mission of Wellness As part of Seven Oaks Hospital – a health promoting hospital – we don’t just want to sell gym memberships, we want people to adopt healthier lifestyles.

See what members are saying under Joining Us at www.wellnessinstitute.ca.
Everyone can benefit from a focus on healthy lifestyle change and reducing your personal risk of disease, even if your main focus today is on personal fitness goals.
