THE STRONG HEART WELLNESS & PREVENTION PROGRAM.
EVERYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES.

Heart disease. High blood pressure. High cholesterol. These treatable conditions can lead to heart attacks. Whether you have serious heart disease or are just concerned about the health of your heart, there are lifestyle changes that can drastically reduce your risks. The Strong Heart Wellness & Prevention Program was created to help you understand those changes, and then make them a comfortable part of your life. The Strong Heart Wellness & Prevention Program is unique in our area. With a complete staff of medical professionals, we teach you, train you, and encourage you, gently helping you attain and enjoy a healthier heart and a happier life. If you have ever hoped for a place where you can learn the things you need to know to avoid a heart attack, put them into practice, yet feel totally comfortable and at ease, you have found it.

Much more than a fitness facility. Come into our facility, and you might think that this is simply the friendliest, most comfortable fitness facility you have ever encountered. But you would only be partly correct. The Strong Heart Wellness & Prevention Program is so much more than that. For example, we have the area’s most advanced lipid clinic, to help people track and understand their cholesterol levels. We have a women’s heart program, to help women understand their unique heart attack risks. We provide counseling on diabetes, diet and smoking cessation. And the list goes on and on.

Why take care of your heart now: A cardiac rehabilitation program can reduce your risk of death by up to 50% in the years following a heart attack. But there are many other benefits—whether you have a serious heart problem, or simply hope to avoid one.

  • Reduce your dependence on medications.
  • Improve your strength and flexibility.
  • Maintain your independence.
  • Reduce your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.
  • Help you lose weight.
  • Help you decrease stress and feelings of depression.
  • Feel better than you did before your heart event.
  • Control diabetes and allow you to decrease medications.
  • Help prevent future diseases and health problems.
  • Give you more energy to do the things you enjoy.
