Unify Healthy Heart Fitness Program
At Unify Health, we understand the importance of maintaining optimal cardiovascular health. For patients with cardiac risk factors or those who have known cardiovascular disease or had prior cardiac procedures, ongoing supervised cardiac fitness can be tremendously useful. Unfortunately, in Ontario, limited cardiac rehab programs are available for ongoing cardiac fitness support. Our program aims to support and encourage participants to continue heart-healthy lifestyle behaviours.
Unify Health has partnered with Aethos, a high-end gym in North York, to provide a comprehensive cardiac fitness program. Our expert cardiologists at Unify will assess your cardiac risk and perform a pre-program exercise stress test to provide a tailored exercise prescription. Participants will have access to a 12-week program with a 1-hour supervised exercise program, twice weekly with a fitness coach. Participants will also receive a dietician consult and have access to a continuous blood glucose monitor. After the 12-week exercise program, a Unify Cardiologist will reassess, and a repeat stress test will be completed to measure changes in exercise tolerance. During the program, participants can access all Aethos gym amenities and services.
Eligible patients include:
Adult population > age 18
Intermediate to high-risk cardiac risk scores
Stable coronary artery disease
Those with prior cardiac intervention or disease and/or have graduated from a prior cardiac rehab
The cost of the 12-week program is $1500.00 + HST.
If you are interested in participating, please ask your physician to complete a referral and our team will arrange the initial assessment in an efficient manner.
