At YMCA Bath Gym, part of the YMCA Brunel Group, we are committed to fostering a community-focused environment where fitness, health, and wellbeing thrive. With this in mind, we have recently partnered with neighbouring Hybrid Health, a leading provider of bespoke rehabilitation physiotherapy. This collaboration aims to provide the community with top-tier rehabilitation services that facilitate quicker and safer returns to sport and full fitness.
Introducing Bespoke Rehabilitation Physiotherapy Sessions
Hybrid Health specialises in creating personalised rehabilitation programs tailored to each client’s specific needs. These programs are now available at YMCA Bath Gym, just a minute’s walk from Hybrid Health’s clinic. Clients can book 60 or 90-minute one-on-one sessions, where their injuries will be assessed under load, allowing Hybrid Health’s expert physiotherapists to identify weaknesses and develop strategies for strengthening them using our state-of-the-art gym equipment.
Benefits of the Collaboration
This partnership brings numerous benefits to clients and members of YMCA Bath Gym:
- Personalised Attention and Care: Clients receive dedicated one-on-one time with a physiotherapist, allowing them to ask questions about gym loading or their rehab programs and receive immediate, tailored feedback.
- Optimised Training Programs: By assessing injuries under load, Hybrid Health’s physiotherapists can adapt and refine clients’ current training regimens, addressing any techniques that may cause discomfort and exploring new, beneficial loads unavailable in a clinical setting.
- Comprehensive Exercise Programs: Clients will receive a personalised gym-based exercise program through Hybrid Health’s bespoke app, ensuring they have a clear, structured plan to follow over a 4-6 week period.
- Performance Tracking and Goal Setting: The collaboration allows for precise measurement of clients’ performance against their non-injured side, facilitating accurate milestone testing for long-term injuries like ACL reconstructions or post-op shoulder dislocations. This helps ensure a safe and effective return to sport.
- Continued Progression and Challenge: Future gym sessions will focus on adding progression to the rehabilitation program, preventing plateaus and ensuring clients are continuously challenged at the appropriate level.
A Positive Community Experience
One of the standout aspects of this partnership is the positive feedback from clients about their experiences at YMCA Bath Gym. Many have praised the friendly and welcoming atmosphere created by our trainers and staff, which fosters a strong sense of community. This supportive environment plays a crucial role in clients’ rehabilitation journeys, encouraging them to join the gym and stay committed to their fitness goals.
The convenience of having the gym so close to the Hybrid Health clinic enhances the rehabilitation process, making it easier for clients to integrate their physiotherapy sessions with regular gym visits. This accessibility to the service supports a holistic approach to recovery and fitness, ensuring clients can transition smoothly from rehabilitation to personal training and beyond.
“I just wanted to say that the patient response to the sessions in the YMCA gym has been fantastic. All are very impressed with the space and the environment you have created to do physical activity in. You are all very welcoming and it certainly makes a big difference!”
- Alex, Chartered Physiotherapist (CSP), Hybrid Health
We are very excited to see this relationship grow and to continue to improve accessibility to health and wellbeing services in the Bath community.
