Cardiac Rehab Maintenance Program
Directed by two certified exercise professionals, this 8-week program focuses on cardiovascular exercise, building muscle strength, and working on flexibility in a non-medically supervised, small-group setting. The program provides weekly education related to heart health and access to nutrition coaching with a Registered Dietitian.
DISCLAIMER: This program does not replace the critical role that medically supervised cardiac rehab plays in recovery from a cardiac event.
