The Medical Model" approach to fitness and health enhancement used at all Advocate Fitness (AF) managed facilities, refers to the adoption of principles and modification of guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine with the intent of offering a serious, prudent and professional approach to both facility management and the development of personalized exercise and health programs. Under the supervision and guidance of a physician as medical director, along with competent staff of health care providers including certified and degreed physiologists who are aware of their limitations as professionals and are quick to refer to the proper medical personnel, those individuals who exhibit high cardiovascular risks/conditions or musculoskeletal concerns. A major goal of the "Medical Model" approach is the education of all participants. This exercise and health component includes exercise theory, interpretation of fitness evaluations (and related tests results) and exercise guidelines, utilizing participant goals in combination with specific limitations, which may surface through routine health testing. All participants are screened at the Center prior to admission into programs and a Fitness Profile including assessments of strength, flexibility, body composition, aerobic capacity and blood pressure responses are required prior to participation. When necessary, physician clearance may also be required. A detailed exercise prescription complements the testing cycle which is scheduled at timely intervals throughout the year. Finally, all programs ascribe to an "Interdisciplinary Team Approach" for quality health/fitness care, which includes cooperative involvement from nutrition and physical therapy disciplines as well as from other Advocate health care providers. Communication with participant's personal physician, referral into Advocate's Physician Referral Service, an affiliation with Advocate Health Care enhances consumer perception. Amenities:

Trainer Tip of the Week!! 📢📢

As temperatures increase, drink more water! 💧

Warmer temperatures cause your body to sweat more, leading to fluid loss through perspiration. 🥵

Get yourself a nice water bottle and refill it throughout the day!

"No matter your age, you can take steps to maximize your strength. Resistance training is key, but equally important, is eating adequate amounts of protein."

We start to lose muscle in our 30s, and the loss accelerates with age, putting us at risk of frailty later in life. But what you eat — specifically how much protein — is a big part of the solution.
