We are Different!
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.
