When you partner with Prime Surgicare for your bariatric journey, we’ll provide you with all the tools you need to achieve long-term weight loss success, including our Bariatric Wellness Exercise Program, a customized fitness program exclusively for people who have undergone weight loss surgery or are about to do so.
The program is operated by the CentraState Fitness and Wellness Center, one of central Jersey’s largest state-of-the-art facilities (membership is not required), just a quick walk from our offices.
Your program will be managed by certified fitness professionals who specialize in post-op bariatric fitness training. They will help you to safely increase calorie burning and boost resting metabolism so you’ll burn more calories even when you are not working out.
The program is conducted in a supportive small group setting of no more than 6 people with a personal trainer.
Not only will adding a fitness program help you lose weight faster, it will help tone your body as the extra weight comes off.

So if you have an appointment to see our bariatric dietitian or need a blood test at CentraState Medical Center, you can then head over to your fitness session just steps away.
