Road Map to Success:

Each Odyssey Health Club member is taken through an indiviualized Road Map to ensure they have a personlized program to meet their fitness goals; as well as a comprehensive understanding of all of the health clubs ammenities and services.

1. Physical Evaluation- This evaluation will determine if the member is physically capable of performing the exercises recommended. In addition we learn about previous medical history as well as all prescriptions being taken. This evaluation is performed by our RN Janelle Dodd and further evaluation if determined necessary performed by Dennis Ittenbach- Director of Physical Therapy (PT, MS, CLT-LANA)

2. Need/want Identification- After the health history and evaluation, an appointment is made to discuss the goals, wants, and needs of each member. During this meeting the member is made further aware of the services at Odyssey and a plan of attack is made i.e. how many days/ week to exercise, types of exercise, diet…

3. Knowledge Creation- During this phase, the member is taken through their orientation and shown correct form, technique, and health club operations (wiping down equipment, not leaving towels on equipment…).

4. Knowledge Implementation- The member is given their individualized road map to follow and shown how to perform the wellness routine safely and effectivly.

5. Road Block Removal- The member is encouraged to ask for assistance from any staff or affiliates of Odyssey Health Club including Island Physical Therapy, or any personal trainers. In addition, members receive monthly emails giving advice, sharing success, and offering suggestions for healthy living. Wellness lectures and workshops conducted by medical professionals are also available addressing various health related topics and specific questions.

6. Reevaluation- Every 8 weeks the member is given a reevaluation to ensure expected progress. During this evaluation; changes are made to the exercise routine, all problems are addressed, and the member is taken through the new routine to ensure there are no questions.
