Reliant Medical Group’s bariatric program offers various exercise options to our patients. One of these options is the Bariatric Boot Camp. This class is run by a Physical Therapist Assistant who is a personal trainer and a certified strength and conditioning coach. Other trained staff also help assist in the running of the program. The Bariatric Boot Camp class only consists of patients in the bariatric program.
