SCIFIT joins fight against obesity

By Tom Walker    19 Apr 2010

As part of the NHS Rotherham's obesity strategy, the Rotherham Institute for Obesity (RIO) has recently taken delivery of two SCIFIT inclusive fitness initiative accredited machines; the PRO2 Total Body Exerciser and the ISO7000R Recumbent Bike.

The inclusive features include a removable seat for easy wheelchair access and a sturdy wheelchair ramp as standard. To ease users with a visual impairment there is a tactile console overlay and colour coordinated adjustments including a red seat, red handgrips and yellow knob adjustments.

Patients at the RIO have access to special dietary advice, health trainers, specialist obesity nurses and exercise therapists whose job it is to educate them in being able to continue with an active lifestyle after leaving the RIO. As part of their time at the RIO, each patient has 12 sessions in the RIO's gym with the exercise therapist and it is here where the SCIFIT machines are situated.
