Cardio and Strength
A well rounded exercise program consists of three components: flexibility, strength and endurance. The Fitness Center at Western Wisconsin Health is equipped with new cardio and strength equipment throughout the facility to provide you with numerous options to meet the goals of all three components.

The Fitness Center has a variety of aerobic exercise equipment consisting of treadmills, exercise bikes, elliptical walkers, nu-steps, stair steppers, rowing machines and more.
