1.) Fill out an application on our website (top right hand corner “Apply”). Once your application is submitted someone from the management team will call you about scheduling an evaluation. Most evaluations are at least 2 hours long. This includes past medical history overview, muscle/sensation testing and goal setting. After the testing is completed, the client will then be put through modified workout (time permitting) to get an idea of what they will be doing at our facility.
2. Once your evaluation is completed, clients are then able to book appointments with the front office. Appointment can be scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly. Clients can train anywhere between 1 and 3 hours a day (we do not push clients to schedule, as we understand this is an out-of-pocket cost). We recommend that all new clients book recurring appointments as space is limited and the schedule is constantly changing.
3. Once your in the system and appointments are booked you will get a text/email 24 hours before your appointment.
There are many things that separate Project Walk from other programs but the most important is that our clients regain function. Other programs that focus on how physically exhausted you are during your workout do not understand the goal of activity-based recovery is not fitness. The goal is to regain function below level of injury and as a result, clients increase their health.
Clients typically see the following benefits from Project Walk’s program:
There is no set standard on how long it will take to regain function. Every person has their own goals and desired outcomes and works towards their needs. Each person and the damage they have sustained are different; therefore, you cannot compare yourself to others because each person regains function differently.
Remember, that at Project Walk we DO NOT heal your injury. We retrain your body to do things it once did. Similar to an able-bodied person, if you stop your recovery program then you will regress. You do not have to attend Project Walk for the rest of your life but you will need to continue to exercise and maintain the progess you make.
All of our staff are highly skilled in working with different injuries and diagnoses. Although we understand that some clients have preferences on who they work with, it is encouraged that you work with multiple trainers as each brings their own perspective to training.
Because we are an out of pocket expenses, frequency and duration of appointments are based off of your affordability. Our local clients come in from anywhere of 1 day a week for 1 hour and others come in 3 days a week for 3 hours. Our visiting clients tend to maximize their short stay by getting 3 or 4 hours of training per day. If you have questions or want recommendations please contact our facility.
All of our visiting client programs are a minimum of 1 week in length. However, we may recommend you stay longer depending on your level of injury, budget, and schedule. For our out-of-state clients, an initial 2- 3 week visit is pretty normal and for our international clients, a 4-8 week stay is on average.
We will never turn any client away from an evaluation. Your physical condition at the time of an evaluation will determine whether or not you can proceed with a full training program (not limited by weight bearing exercises) prior to needing a bone density scan.
We are not currently covered by all insurance carriers. However, we are working on expanding the carriers that we do work with. We encourage all of our clients to submit their invoices for reimbursement and possible future coverage.
We encourage all of our client to use the gym when they are not working with a trainer. Clients can come in an use all of the equipment (except GEO, FES, ARP) free of charge. We do ask that if you are unable to transfer independently that you are accompanied by someone else to help you. Our staff is more than willing to help with a lift as long as they are not with another client.
