MyFitRx is a medically integrated program that can help you manage chronic conditions. This program is a great starting point for anyone needing extra physical support. We interviewed one of our members to describe what MyFitRx has been like. Cristino Ortiz reminisced about how this program changed his mobility progress for life.
Q: What was your reason for participating in MyFitRx?
A: “I discovered MyFitRx during my first physical therapy session after my spinal surgery. Unfortunately, at the time, I was unable to participate since I couldn’t walk. My care team said that I should work with Jeremy, my current physical therapist, outside of the hospital. I needed to start the journey toward regaining mobility and independence. My goal was to walk again and rebuild my strength. MyFitRx became a meaningful part of that process.”
Q: What was your favorite part of the program?
A: “Being around others with similar challenges was very motivating. Seeing people use the center for their regular fitness routines inspired me too. Before my surgery, I was very active in the gym for both my physical and mental health. After surgery, I struggled with basic daily activities. It was mentally challenging to accept how much had changed. Discovering this program gave me a renewed sense of hope. It reignited my motivation and made me feel like I was getting my life back.”
Q: How did attending this class as a member help you on your wellness journey?
A: “The staff has provided exceptional support. Not to mention the atmosphere being genuinely encouraging. Each week, I could see and feel my own progress, which kept me motivated. Even small improvements, such as doing more in a session, meant a great deal to me. It reminded me that recovery is possible and that I’m capable of more than I thought.”
