Connecticut Fitness Center Membership

You have probably heard about the importance of exercise for your post-bariatric success, in order to promote weight loss and improve your health and quality of life. The Griffin Hospital Connecticut Fitness Center has been designed to meet the needs of all Griffin Bariatrics patients, in case they don’t have exercise equipment at home or just need extra motivation in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

Griffin Bariatrics Exercise Programs

There are many benefits to exercise. It helps you maintain your lean body mass and allows your metabolism to work properly, facilitating weight loss at the same time. Exercise also decreases the level of cortisol, a hormone released during stress, and helps to oxygenate the brain. Besides making you happier and promoting mental health, exercise also helps you live longer. The positive effects are countless, but for a bariatric surgery patient, exercise also serves as the means to keep the weight off and achieve a better quality of life.

Of course, any bariatric surgery patient knows the benefits of exercise long before having surgery. However, it is often difficult to maintain a regular activity program on your own because it requires a great deal of discipline and motivation. That’s why we offer a fitness center and exercise classes specifically for weight loss surgery patients to help them establish and stick to an exercise routine.

With our weight loss surgery fitness center membership and exercise programs, Connecticut bariatric patients have the advantage of interacting with peers who are going through the same experiences. You will also have a personalized plan and specific recommendations to guide your success, helping you start slowly and build up your progress at your own pace, while avoiding injury.
