BLOOMINGTON – A different kind of gym is open in Bloomington that surrounds members with doctors and other health professionals.
Dr. Stephen Kindred is medical director of the Advocate BroMenn Health & Fitness Center.
“Those folks that have, say, heart disease we’re treating them with medications, we talk to them about diet and exercise, but in the office you don’t have time to cover that,” said Dr, Kindred. “We see that as an extension of our office, prescriptions, or reccomendations.”
As doctors continue to encourage diet and exercise, the Advocate BroMenn Health and Fitness Center is working to keep people accountable and on track with goals.
An open house is being held Saturday from nine to noon on Trinity Lane in Bloomington.
