Move Well Studio Combines Doctors Office with Fitness Center

The Intermountain LiVe Well Center has a new solution for patients that need to start an exercise program and get active.  On September 6, 2016, Intermountain will open the Move Well Studio at their Salt Lake Clinic location. 

Healthcare providers consistently encourage patients to get more exercise, especially patients with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.  Exercise is medicine for many of these conditions, but unlike popping a pill, it takes more effort and education to get started.  

Dr. Mark Lewis, Medical Director and Internal Medicine physician at the Salt Lake Clinic, sees the new Move Well Studio as a real game changer for his patients.

 “So often we see patients who need exercise but don’t know where to start.  With the Move Well Studio, I can send my patients downstairs to be evaluated and know that they will get a personalized program that will start them on the right path,” Lewis said.

The Move Well Studio will be staffed by exercise physiologists and fitness experts from the LiVe Well Center who will educate, train and oversee individuals with a personalized exercise plan. Anybody, regardless of age, weight, health condition or activity level can benefit from the Move Well Studio because it offers a personalized approach to exercise.

Before enrolling in a LiVe Fit class, individuals will complete a functional fitness assessment to determine which class is appropriate. The Move Well Studio will offer exercise classes to people of every age and fitness level. Classes will begin at 7 a.m. and run through 5 p.m. Initial classes include: Move Well, Corrective Movement, and Total Body Conditioning with more classes to be added over the next year. 

A public open house will be held on September 1st from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for anyone wishing to tour the new space and learn more about the services offered. More information can be found at www.LiveWellCenter.org/MoveWellStudio.
