Here’s what a few of our participants have to say:

After an Achilles injury and surgery, I was looking for a way to get back into shape and needed some motivation. My physical therapist at St. Cloud Orthopedics referred me to their HEAT program. An experienced exercise physiologist worked to personalize a program toward my goals and helped push my limits. I have never felt better! I’m cycling again and still train with the HEAT program twice a week to work on strength and flexibility. It was exactly the program I needed to renew my dedication to a healthy lifestyle.

I was thinking about hiring a trainer at my gym for months, but when I heard about the HEAT program, it was a no brainer to join! They created a tailored program to help me overcome the Achilles and knee issues I was experiencing. They helped me recover and showed me how to prevent the problems from recurring. The people and resources at the Orthopedic Center provide a wealth of knowledge you can’t find at a gym.

The experts at the HEAT program developed a training program specifically for running backs. It was a lot of plyometics, sprints, and running on the treadmill. I also had a lot of footwork to prepare me for this season. I’m confident I’ll be more explosive this year.
