Why the Fitness Center at Siskin Hospital?

We are Different!

Siskin Hospital knows that physical fitness is for every Body! That's why the Fitness Center at Siskin Hospital welcomes and accomodates people of every fitness and ability level.

People with disabilities or other special needs often do not feel comfortable in fitness centers that cater primarily to able-bodied people. That is why the Fitness Center at Siskin Hospital was specifically designed to focus on the disabled, people who wish to maintain or improve function gained from physical therapy, and those concerned about maintaining independence, health and fitness as they age.

Unique Features:

* Programs designed by therapists who understand disabilities and have adapted the exercises appropriately

* The facility was designed with disability in mind. You'll find no heavy doors that are hard to open and no thresholds that are hard to step or wheel over.


* A variety of specialized equipment in a spacious layout allows for easy wheelchair movement.

* Weight machines are equipped with grab bars and storage for canes and water bottles.

* Adapted equipment is available that can be used from a wheelchair.

* Suspension and harness systems increase safety during exercise.

* Indoor and outdoor walking/rolling tracks.

Here, disabled and able-bodied people, whether former patients or not, can exercise side-by-side in a comfortable, encouraging environment.
