GETTING STARTED

The basics

Next Phase Fitness is a cash-pay wellness program from Rehab Associates, built for active adults who want to stay strong, mobile, and independent. Every program is designed and overseen by a licensed physical therapist, then delivered session-by-session by a qualified coach — so your plan is matched to your real body, not a generic template.

A typical gym or studio doesn't know your history — a bad knee, a healed fracture, a back that's touchy on certain days. Next Phase Fitness starts with a licensed physical therapist who understands exactly that, then builds your plan around it. You get expert oversight a big-box gym simply can't offer.

Adults roughly 50–70 who want to stay active and independent — including many former Rehab Associates patients who want to keep the progress they made in PT. You don't need a referral, a recent injury, or a diagnosis to start. If you're active and healthy but want expert guidance, this is built for you.

Start with a free 30-minute Fitness Strategy Session — no cost, no obligation. You can do this by phone or in person at our Newark-Heath clinic (in-person sessions also include a hands-on movement and mobility check, which isn't possible over the phone). A licensed physical therapist will talk through your goals, history, and what's holding you back, then recommend the program, or combination of programs, that fits. From there, a qualified coach guides you through every session. Book your free Strategy Session →

Programs are rolling out in phases. Ask during your free Fitness Strategy Session which programs are currently open — we'll always give you a straight answer on what's available today.

Yes. Many clients combine two or three programs — Strength and Nutrition, for example, or Stretch and Balance. Your free Fitness Strategy Session is where we map out which combination fits your goals.

Yes. Your plan isn't locked in. As your goals change, your PT and coach can adjust your program mix at any time.

FITNESS STRATEGY SESSION & SAFETY

About your Fitness Strategy Session

A licensed physical therapist talks with you about your goals, activity level, and any history that matters — old injuries, surgeries, ongoing aches. If you're meeting in person, they'll also walk you through a hands-on movement and mobility check. By phone, it's a conversation focused on your goals and history; anything requiring hands-on assessment gets scheduled for your first in-person visit.

No catch. It's 30 minutes, no cost, and no obligation to enroll. It exists so you and your PT can figure out together whether Next Phase Fitness is the right fit — and if it's not, we'll tell you.

A licensed physical therapist — always. They're the ones who design your program.

A qualified Rehab Associates coach delivers your ongoing sessions, following the plan your PT designed. Your PT stays involved, overseeing your progress and reassessing periodically.

That's exactly why the program starts with a PT. Your Strategy Session — and, if in person, the movement check — is how we make sure your plan respects your history instead of ignoring it.

PRICING & PACKAGES

What it costs & how to pay

Your free Strategy Session comes first — there's no cost to find out what a program would involve. Your PT will walk you through current package and subscription pricing once we know which program(s) fit you, so you're never guessing at a number that doesn't apply to your plan.

Yes — multi-session packages and subscription plans are both available, along with combo pricing if you're doing more than one program.

Ask during your free Fitness Strategy Session — combo and multi-person discounts are available and your PT or coach can walk you through current options.

No. Next Phase Fitness is a cash-pay wellness program, separate from insurance-billed physical or occupational therapy. If you have a recent injury or a condition that needs medical treatment, let us know — we'll point you toward our clinical PT services instead.

VISITING & SCHEDULING

Getting here & what to expect

At the Rehab Associates clinic in Newark–Heath, Ohio, 1220 Hebron Rd., Heath, OH 43056.

It depends on the program and the package you choose. Stretch and Strength sessions commonly run 25–30 or 50–60 minutes; nutrition and recovery sessions vary. Your coach will set session length as part of your personalized plan.

Comfortable clothes you can move in and any details about past injuries, surgeries, or conditions that might be relevant.

Call us at (740) 345-2837, or book directly online through our Start Now page, and we'll confirm your time by email. Once you're enrolled, your coach will help you set a session rhythm that fits your schedule, just contact the clinic — we ask for reasonable notice so we can offer the slot to someone else. If you need to reschedule, just give us a call.

The Strategy Session is 30 minutes. Regular program sessions vary by program — your coach will confirm session length when your plan is built.

Either works to get started. In-person sessions let your PT do a hands-on movement and mobility check, which gives you a more complete picture right away. Phone sessions are a great way to ask questions and get pointed in the right direction if getting to the clinic isn't easy yet — any hands-on check just happens at your first in-person visit instead.
