  • Season 3, Episode 5 - Dr. John Farrell
    Mar 5 2025

    🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🚨

    🔥 Season 3, Episode 5 of The Medical Fitness Podcast is LIVE!

    In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. John Farrell, Assistant Professor and Human Performance Consultant at Texas State University. John’s expertise spans exercise training for adaptive athletes, individuals with chronic conditions, and elite performers—giving him a unique perspective on bridging the gap between rehabilitation and long-term fitness.

    🏀 Why is this conversation so important?
    For too many people, the transition from inpatient rehab to real-world physical activity is a dead end. Patients leave structured care but lose access to resources, support, and exercise guidance. John is tackling this issue head-on by exploring adaptive sports as a sustainable pathway—where fitness, function, and community come together to keep people moving for life.

    👀 What you’ll learn in this episode:
    ✅ The missing link between rehab and lifelong exercise
    ✅ Why adaptive sports aren’t just for elite Paralympians—they’re for anyone needing a fitness outlet
    ✅ The critical role of strength training in neuroplasticity and nervous system health
    ✅ How fitness professionals can step up and fill the gap in adaptive training
    ✅ What’s holding back medical fitness from scaling—and how we fix it

  • Season 3, Episode 4 - Ken Gorman
    Feb 19 2025

    🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT! 🚨

    🔥 Season 3, Episode 4 of The Medical Fitness Podcast is live, and this one is a must-listen! We’re sitting down with Ken Gorman, CEO of Power Wellness, to talk about the future of medical fitness, increasing physician referrals, and scaling fitness centers within healthcare systems. With nearly 30 years of experience leading the largest medical fitness management company in the U.S., Ken shares how Power Wellness is bridging the gap between fitness and healthcare—bringing evidence-based exercise programs to those who need them most.

    🏥 Why does this matter? Because 75% of Americans don’t regularly engage in exercise, and 50% have at least one chronic condition. Traditional gyms aren’t designed to serve these populations, but medical fitness centers are changing the game by providing safe, structured programs designed by degreed and credentialed professionals. Power Wellness operates over 50 centers across the country, helping hospitals, academic institutions, and municipalities implement the medical fitness model to improve health outcomes on a massive scale.

    👀 What you’ll learn in this episode:
    ✅ Why commercial gyms fail most people—and how medical fitness is the missing link
    ✅ How integrating fitness centers with healthcare systems is driving more patient referrals
    ✅ The role of technology and data tracking in improving patient engagement and long-term success
    ✅ How Power Wellness has built scalable, sustainable medical fitness solutions that work in hospitals, community centers, and beyond
    ✅ What the future holds for insurance reimbursement, virtual medical fitness, and value-based care
