Auburn Racquet & Fitness Club

The American Medical Association (AMA) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) have partnered to create the “Exercise is Medicine” program. This program encourages physicians to advise patients to incorporate at least 30 minutes of exercise and 10 minutes of stretching and light weightlifting into their routines five times a week. The AMA will provide physicians with “physician kits” that contain materials such as prescription forms and referral forms and basic exercise information regarding specific health conditions and details on how to choose a health club and trainer to help get patients started.
