What is Pinnacle Medical Exercise?

Pinnacle Medical Exercise bridges the gap between fitness and medicine. We offer you specialised fitness training for medical concerns such as heart conditions, diabetes, and other difficult situations which demand the expertise of a qualified clinical exercise physiologist. Each exercise program is individually designed based on your medical history, health risk profile assessment, influence of current medications, and any other variables that may influence your exercise prescription.  We assure your safety by diligently monitoring your heart rate, ecg rhythm, blood pressure, and blood glucose before, during, and after exercise. Pinnacle Medical Exercise will work with your physician or rehabilitation team by carrying out their exercise directives, helping you regain and maintain your health, vigor, and quality of life.
