MOVE
We believe that the decision to engage in regular physical activity is the most important lifestyle change you can make to increase your likelihood of living a long and active life.
Our Move Philosophy
As we spend more time self-isolating and social distancing, it’s important to find new ways to stay active and mobile. As long as COVID-19 keeps you home, Medcan’s world-class fitness trainers and multidisciplinary sports therapy team will be here to keep your heart rate (and spirits) high.
Virtual training
Medcan now offers virtual training with our fitness professionals through the LiftSessions app, which can be used on your tablet as well as any laptop, or desktop computer with a webcam enabled.
Our Virtual Training packages include the purchase of a variety of fitness equipment, including a set of 5 mini-bands, a lacrosse ball, and a set of variable resistance exercise tubing with various attachments and accessories.
In-home and outdoor training
Designed to cater to your unique physical needs, our tailored in-home and outdoor personal training sessions bring the Medcan experience right to your doorstep or local park.
These personal training packages include the transportation of a variety of fitness equipment including a set of 5 mini-bands, a lacrosse ball, and a set of variable resistance exercise tubing with various attachments and accessories. Fitness equipment is carefully cleaned and sterilized after each use.
Virtual Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation
Don’t let social isolation and quarantine let you lose sight of your therapy, rehabilitation and recovery goals. Our team of specialists are going virtual with their in-clinic care. If you need them, they’re here—on demand, on your device.
Whether you threw those runners on and pushed too far, are coming back from an injury, or just have general rehabilitation needs, we have a plan for you.
Look forward to a real adventure
From Patagonia to Mount Kilimanjaro, our once-in-a-lifetime Kickstart adventures are designed for anyone looking to challenge their mind, body and spirit while improving their overall health.
Whether you’d like to be pushed to the edge of your comfort zone on an exhilarating expedition or transported to a beautiful setting to nurture your inner self, our adventures cater to health and wellness goals of all kinds. Let our team of trained professionals support and motivate you on your journey—from the moment you sign up to your return flight home.
