Membership includes two to three orientation sessions with a trained professional to help build the appropriate exercise program and determine which equipment is beneficial for use. A staff member will always be present to help answer any questions, and progress members upon request. The program takes place in the Outpatient Physical Therapy department.

• Month to month memberships: $70 per month (6 month membership), or $60 per month (12 month membership)
• Paid in Full memberships: 6 months: $399, 12 Months: $648
