The importance of our CRCP

As an ongoing maintenance program, CRCP helps people who’ve had a heart attack or other heart problem recover by outlining an individualized plan for safely improving physical health and identifying and managing other risk factors. Having a heart attack or other heart issue can also be scary and make you feel depressed. Cardiac rehabilitation emphasizes the importance of psychological health and quality of life. It provides holistic support for every part of rehab so you’re not alone in reaching your goals.

What to expect from the CRCP at Type One Fitness

Working in a group setting, the CRCP staff will provide supervision in the gym as you start out slowly according to your prescribed target heart rate range and rate of perceived exertion, to meet your individual needs and goals. As you complete more sessions and gain confidence and endurance, the staff will be there to help you gradually progress by increasing the intensity and/or duration of your exercise according to your fitness level and medical history.

Vital signs including blood pressure and heart rate will be taken pre and post workouts. The built-in pulse sensors on our advanced exercise machines will help provide real-time heart rate monitoring during your workout to make sure you’re safe while exercising.

Our InBody biometric screening – body composition analysis is an optional part of our intake process. Go beyond the scale with the InBody test – a non-invasive, quick, and accurate body composition analysis that provides a detailed breakdown of your weight in terms of muscle, fat, and water. Your comprehensive yet easy-to-understand measurements will display on an InBody result sheet in under a minute. No more pinching. No more dunking. Get results you can trust so you can reach your health and fitness goals with precision and actionable objectives. This is simply a way to measure your progress but we also firmly believe in a broader approach to fitness of the body and mind and look at energy levels, self-confidence, emotional fluctuations and more!
