A Center for Complete Health and Wellness 

Sifting through the abundance of information relating to health, wellness and prevention can be a daunting task. Everyday we hear about miracle drugs or highly invasive surgeries that promise an increase in quality of life and renewed exuberance. Capital Region Sam B. Cook Healthplex is here to help understand what provides real results and what only offers empty promises. The philosophy of complete health encompasses all aspects of mind, body and spirit to help you maximize your potential and strengthen your weaknesses. In addition to fitness programs and therapy regimens, guests also can align body with mind and spirit through massage therapy and eastern influenced programs such as yoga and tai chi.

We understand no two individuals are alike and, thus, no one program or protocol will work for everyone. That is why each patient or fitness center member is individually assessed to create personalized goals and plans to help reach those goals. Whether you are a patient recovering from heart surgery or a new mom looking to shape up we are available to develop a plan for you.

Fitness Programs

The Healthplex offers a number of options for reaching your fitness goals, ranging from group classes to modern cardiovascular equipment and free weights.  Personal training sessions also are available from experience certified exercise physiologists.cardio area 1

Nutrition Counseling

Moving to a healthier lifestyle takes more than just a little extra sweat. In addition to helping clients learn how to exercise properly, safely and effectively through personal training, the Healthplex also offers nutrition guidance and counseling through its New Dimensions Weight Loss Program.

Cancer Wellness Program

The Healthplex is proud to bring the only program of this kind to Jefferson City. Working alongside physical therapists and oncology nurses, the personal trainers work both with patients undergoing treatment for cancer and survivors who have completed their course of treatment. All the team members involved in the Cancer Wellness Program have completed highly specialized training to help participants have more energy, lose fat, build muscle and achieve a more postive outlook.

The program touches all facets of health, from diet and exercise to emotional and social support. The program consists of 12 weeks of educational meetings and exercise sessions.
