The Intermountain Healthcare Sports Medicine & Performance Center in Park City provides specialized medical and fitness services designed to assist patients with medically supervised weight loss and customized physical training. Located at 900 Round Valley Drive, the center's programs utilize lifestyle medicine and functional assessments to address nutrition, exercise, and chronic disease management.
Holistic Weight Loss Programs
The center's medically supervised weight loss program employs a holistic approach through lifestyle medicine experts. According to Intermontain Healthcare, the process begins with an in-depth consultation where specialists evaluate essential health pillars, including eating habits, exercise routines, sleep schedules, and stress levels. This information is used to create a personalized plan tailored to each individual's unique body and specific goals.
These customized plans may focus on dietary improvements, increased physical activity, better sleep hygiene, or stress reduction. In some cases, the medical team may also incorporate weight loss medication into a patient's regimen. Intermountain Healthcare noted that while lifestyle medicine visits are billed to health insurance like standard doctor appointments, patients should verify their specific coverage regarding deductencies, copays, and limitations with their providers.
Beyond initial consultations, the program may refer patients to various follow-up services based on their clinical outcomes. These include medical nutrition therapy, exercise classes, personal training, yoga, massage, acupuncture, mindfulness training, and health coaching. The center also utilizes extra lab tests when necessary to monitor progress and adjust plans as a patient moves toward their health objectives.
Fitness Assessments and Evaluations
For those seeking physical conditioning, the center offers three distinct fitness service tiers: Exercise Prescription, Personal Training, and Functional Fitness Assessments. The process for many of these services begins with a Functional Fitness Assessment, which is a 45-minute evaluation required for anyone wishing to join the center's fitness classes.
During this assessment, experts observe how a person's body moves during various exercises to identify strengths, weaknesses, imbalances, flexibility levels, and stamina. The test specifically includes activities such as squats, push-ups, wall sits, planks, and sit-ups. This evaluation is also used by clinicians to identify potential injury risks or to determine the underlying cause of existing pain or discomfort.
The assessment costs $60 and is HSA/FSA eligible. Following the results, specialists provide personalized exercise recommendations and stretches designed to address identified weaknesses.
Personalized Exercise Prescriptions
The center also provides an Exercise Prescription service, which serves as a personalized plan to help patients reach specific fitness milestones. This service focuses on critical areas such as cardiovascular health, strength and resistance training, balance, mobility, and maintaining daily activity levels. It also includes professional advice regarding eating habits.
Following the initial assessment, patients meet with a provider to discuss their sports performance history, any medical issues that might affect their ability to exercise, and work with an exercise physiologist. The ultimate goal of this service is for participants to leave with concrete recommendations to improve their physical fitness goals.
One-on-One Personal Training
For individuals requiring higher levels of accountability or one-on-one instruction, the center offers Personal Training. This service is designed for a wide range of participants, from beginners to experienced exercisers, particularly those with specific training goals who want undivided attention from a trainer.
Personal training sessions are structured around the customized Exercise Prescription and are HSA/FSA eligible. The center provides various pricing options for these sessions:
- $55 for 30-minute sessions
- $95 for 60-minute sessions
- $500 for a package of ten 30-minute visits
- $900 for a package of ten 60-minute visits
During these sessions, trainers work exclusively with one client at a time to ensure proper form and to answer all questions. The program aims to maximize the benefit of the workout while minimizing wasted time through highly customized, step-by-step instruction.
