Thanks to the UF Medical Guild, the UF Health Medical Fitness Program received a $2,000 grant to purchase a new piece of cardiovascular equipment to help users properly warm up their upper bodies.

The UF Health Medical Fitness Program was established in 2006 at the UF Health Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Institute, as part of UF Health Rehabilitation Services. As a patient-supported service, the program provides medically based fitness and wellness programs aimed to help participants achieve a healthy and fit lifestyle. Participants include those who have completed physical therapy, have an ongoing medical condition or have been referred by their physicians to begin a medically supervised fitness and wellness program. In 2011, the program moved to the UF Health Fitness and Wellness Center, located in the south campus parking garage.
