                      Wellness Exercise Program


                      At Northwest Health, we provide a bariatric wellness exercise program to empower you with the tools you need to achieve long-term weight loss success.

                      This customized fitness program, provided at Northwest Health – Michigan City, is exclusively for people who are planning to undergo weight loss surgery. Upon enrolling in the program, an initial meeting is scheduled with the wellness specialist who performs an assessment then establishes an exercise program that is safe and effective based on your medical history, age and fitness level.

                      Each exercise program is customized to your individual needs and goals while utilizing the best available methods to assist in your weight loss journey. As changes occur in your health status, the wellness specialist may adapt the program to meet your individual needs.This would allow you to safely increase calorie burning and boost your resting metabolism.

                      Adding an effective fitness program will also help tone your body as the extra weight comes off.

                      Alternately, your physician may recommend physical therapy sessions prior to your initiation of the wellness program to ensure a safe transition to an effective exercise program. In such situation, the physical therapist would evaluate you and may consider aquatic therapy in addition to various other therapy modalities.
