Fit for Surgery allows participants to prepare for elective surgery by improving function through the building of muscle tone and increasing cardiovascular fitness. The goal is to optimize recovery time after surgery.
The program, supervised by certified exercise professionals, is customized to each participant’s needs and proposed surgical procedure. Fit for Surgery is available at locations in Winchester, Front Royal, Woodstock and Luray, VA, and Romney and Berkeley Springs, WV. The $100 fee for the eight-week program includes testing, education and exercise. All Fit for Surgery graduates receive free enrollment to any Valley Health fitness center.
