So, after my heart attack, it was recommended that I go for cardiac rehab. I was skeptical at first since I already belonged to a gym, but I decided to join Quality Medical Fitness. I cannot say enough great things regarding the entire staff. Everyone is very helpful and friendly which is a big part of why I continue to go. I do not look at my workouts as a chore, but as a big part of my weekly routine. The workouts are Cardiopulmonary, so they focus on both heart and lungs. My first week, I was taught how the lungs and heart work together which I found to be very interesting. What I really like about the workouts is they are not just cardio, but also include resistance training for strength. I also have a hectic schedule, but I had no problem scheduling my workouts multiple times per week. Once in a while, I might have to move my appointment time due to work conflicts and they have always been able to accommodate me by finding another time slot. The program I am in includes daily blood pressure, heart rate monitoring, heart monitoring and oxygen level monitoring, with monthly testing for lung capacity, ekg and a Dr. visit to name some of the items. After 1 year, I have decided to continue on with the program. If you or someone you know are looking for this type of health help, I highly recommend Quality Medical Fitness to anyone in need of such services or anyone just wanting to be in a healthy workout program where you are guided and monitored.

I highly recommend Quality Medical’s cardio rehab program. Mountaser Khalifa is its director who designed the program and leads its professional staff. Each patient has a customized program based on their individual needs and medical condition, which is continuously monitored by by physical observation and medical monitors. I was a gym rat prior to my CABGx4, and a bit sceptical of any program, but I’m glad that I attended. They assured steady progress post surgery over the course of 12 weeks, to the point that I’m doing everything I did prior to the surgery. Peace of mind is what the program provides as you’re going through the paces.

My first impression of Quality Medical Fitness was the professionalism of the staff. From the assistants to the director everyone at Quality Medical treated me with compassion and respect. I also love the fact that this facility is exceptionally clean. All of the equipment is sanitized between patients and always in working order. Mountaser, the director, individualized a plan for me and has motivated me to keep moving forward on my journey. I am continuously monitored and my progress has been remarkable. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Quality Medical Fitness and their entire staff. I can’t thank them enough. I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.

I would like to recommend Montessa and his staff of Quality Medical Fitness. They manage to combine professionalism with compassion while setting up a physical fitness routine to suite your medical needs. They take your vitals (blood pressure and pulse oxygen) before, during and after your work-out, as well as monitoring your progress and comfort during your routine. Someone is constantly watching, accessing and recording your progress. In addition to the above care, once a month you have an appointment with the doctor and an EKG and a pulmonary function test is also administered. Within a few visits, I felt a big improvement in my condition and was extremely pleased with my care at Quality Medical Fitness!

My 3-month cardiopulmonary rehabilitation sessions were supervised by Mountaser Khalifa. I made steady and smooth progress to regain my strength and stamina. Mountaser is thorough, patient, clear, and well-organized. He manages his staff, equipment, facility and the individual experiences of each client session with great care and attention to detail. He spends time teaching new clients how to exercise and breathe safely and effectively, and tweaks each person’s form so that they maximize their progress and avoid injury. Special kudos to his assistants Kaelynn and Eileen for their kindness!

The team at Quality Medical Fitness brought me back into shape after my surgery. Montaser and his team of dedicated therapists allowed me to rehab at my own pace but persistent in making sure I followed their prescribed regiment. The team is caring, knowledgeable and an indispensable resource in my recovery. Thanks QMF!

I was never one to exercise regularly, was blessed with a great physical constitution despite my smoking habit until I wasn't. When my health issues began to interfere with my daily life, my pulmonologist recommended I attend Quality Medical Fitness for the Pulmonary Rehab program. I am so happy and grateful to have found Mountaser and his team at Quality Medical Fitness who have help me to regain my health, vitality, strength and confidence so I can now live my life to the fullest. I am impressed with the small group setting and how each person has their own personalized program tailored to their specific health needs, which for someone like myself is so important to receive the individual attention and direction since I have not been an "exercise" person. I actually now look forward to my sessions at Quality Medical Fitness and to developing an exercise program of my own when I am stronger and "graduate" from their care. The rehab gym is super clean, the equipment is well maintained and the team is there to help when ever you have questions. I can't say enough about how wonderful Mountaser and his team are. 5 stars just aren't enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you
