Helping Overweight Members Exercise (H.O.M.E.)

This new 8 week class is for Kaiser Permanente members with a body mass index (BMI) of 35-45. It's specifically designed for patients who would like to start an exercise program in a safe, supervised setting. It will begin with a one-on-one evaluation with the physical therapist who will help determine how flexible and how strong you are. He or she will then work with you in the gym (with other HOME patients) in a supervised exercise program. We expect you to feel confident in your work-out routine upon leaving this program. The class is held weekly for an hour, in the late afternoon, and includes exercises you can do at home. Email your doctor for a referral.
