What To Expect

The staff at the Neuromuscular Wellness Center understands that starting a fitness program can be intimidating. To increase your comfort, here’s an idea about what you might expect as a participant in the program:

On your first visit:

• Visit with Dr. Charmane Kandt, program coordinator, to discuss your health concerns and fitness goals.
• Work with Dr. Kandt to develop an exercise program and weekly routine.
• Get a basic health and mobility assessment.
• Meet the student trainers and other program participants.
• Become acquainted with the exercise equipment.

On every visit:

• For your safety, staff monitor your blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation.
• Most visits typically last an hour, which includes exercise.
•  Consult with staff regarding your wellness.
•  Get support from other participants and caregivers.
•  Participate in tailored cardiovascular, mobility and functional exercises.
