Fitness Program
Davis Regional Medical Center is home to the Fitness Program, an independent exercise program with a 7,000 square feet facility that is divided into gym and aquatic areas.
Medicare and Medicaid have strict regulations with therapy services and exercise programs in the same area. Due to these regulations, we are only able to offer limited hours. There are no exceptions.
Program Orientation
Members can begin the program when the membership forms are turned in and reviewed by a staff member. Members interested in getting set up on the equipment or looking for a specific exercise program are encouraged to schedule an orientation time. Setting an appointment time is preferred as accommodating walk-ins can be difficult. Orientations are done during Fitness Program hours. To schedule an orientation time, please call (704) 838-7432.
Gym Classes
In the gym area, members have access to aerobic equipment, including four treadmills, two Aerodyne bikes, two Recumbent bikes, two UBE's (arm bikes), one rower and one stair climber. Members also can utilize the weight machines for upper extremities, lower extremities, low back and abdominals.

Aquatic Therapy and H20 Classes
The Fitness Program features a 20ft x 40ft heated, therapeutic, indoor pool. The pool ranges from 3 1/2 ft to 5ft deep, with hand rails on each side of the pool and steps for easy access. This therapeutic pool maintains a water temperature of 90 degrees. S
We offer three types of aquatic classes, each one is designed for different purposes. Since the pool is a treatment area, we ask members not to arrive any earlier than 15 minutes before pool times.
Arthritis Aquatics -This class is considered our easiest or entry level class. This class is designed and emphasis is to help maintain normal joint movement, relieve stress, restore flexibility and endurance.
H20 Exercise - This class is considered a moderate level class. This class is designed to increase strength and flexibility with more of an emphasis on endurance and aerobic exercise for people with arthritis.
H20 Aerobics - This is our highest level class we offer and is designed to increase cardiovascular fitness, endurance, flexibility and abdominal strength.
