Perhaps you’ve been diagnosed with heart or lung disease, or had a heart attack or bypass surgery.  Maybe you have other risk factors for heart or lung disease like diabetes or obesity, or are out of shape due to lack of exercise. No matter what the cause of your need, Fairview's WEL program can help you reach your fitness goals and improve your quality of life.

Supervised exercise
This program allows you to exercise with confidence under the supervision and support of our exercise specialists. In the security of our rehabilitation gym, you’ll improve fitness and reduce risk of coronary artery disease and chronic health issues. The program also helps you maintain healthy lifestyle changes such as stress reduction, medication management and diet to improve your overall health.

Fairview’s WEL program allows you to work independently and at your own pace. Our staff works with you to develop an individualized exercise prescription and goals. They evaluate your blood pressure, blood sugar, weight and oxygen saturation and make recommendations for how often these need to be monitored and recorded.

As you progress through the program, exercise specialists can help you safely increase your workloads. You’ll learn how to maintain an active lifestyle, maximize your time and effort and gain the confidence to exercise independently. 

The program meets Monday through Friday from 6:30–9:30 a.m. You may come any time during those hours, but must complete your workout by 9:15 a.m.
