The Northern Dutchess Hospital Wellness Center

The NDH Wellness Center, open 7 days a week and free for residents, is a medically based fitness center that can help you make the kind of lifestyle changes that promote good health.

Personal health assessments, private training and group classes can guide and support you to set and achieve manageable fitness goals. Certified exercise coaches are trained to assist people with special health needs.

Health Risk Assessment

Numerous research studies have demonstrated the benefits of exercise. Health Risk Assessments are a primary service option at the NDH Wellness Center. They are completed with experienced medical professionals and involve collaborating on a physical fitness plan designed especially for you, based on your health history and individual goals. In fact, as part of the optional Initial Assessment and Orientation Package, we evaluate your physical fitness, wellness and capacity for exercise. We measure your height and weight, blood pressure, resting heart rate and body composition. We also perform a body fat analysis and a test for flexibility, muscular strength and endurance.

We use these results to compile your individualized exercise program including target heart rate and initial plan of action.

Your residency is a great time for you to do something about your fitness. By building endurance and resilience, you can come out of a period of intense effort in better shape than when you went into it.
