In order for us to ensure a safe environment in movement-based group classes, all patients attending an online exercise class must have had a consultation with an InspireHealth Exercise Therapist or attended a class in the last two months.
To ensure the safest environment during exercise classes, requirements for participation in movement-based classes at InspireHealth have changed.
In order to participate, please ensure the following:
* The area where you are exercising is free of tripping hazards.
* That you have a sturdy chair without wheels nearby.
* That you have a phone close by.
* That you have water close by. Stay hydrated!
