Fitness programme
What is it?
What is it?Are you overweight and would like to slim down? Perhaps you want to live a fitter lifestyle and work on your physical and mental health? Our 'Fitesse' programme is aimed at (young) adults who want to choose a healthier lifestyle. At Maria Middelares General Hospital, we work towards giving patients a longer, healthier and more functional life.

We want to give you as much info and tips as possible, so that you can apply them in your daily life afterwards.
What does our programme involve?
What does our programme involve?For six months, our multidisciplinary team will help you on your journey toward a healthier lifestyle and lower body weight. The care pathway usually includes the following:
- First, you are referred by your (GP) doctor or you sign up on your own initiative. You then complete a questionnaire via MyMariaMiddelares to help you prepare for an initial interview. This allows us to assess any risk factors and get to know your story.
- The rehabilitation physician will discuss your questionnaire answers and the programme with you during an intake interview . If the evaluation points to proceeding, the secretariat will book appointments for an intake session and blood will be drawn.
- During the multidisciplinary intake session (this is always on a Friday morning), you will be seen by a dietitian, psychologist and physiotherapist. After the intake, all of the care professionals involved will have a consultation. Based on this consultation, the rehabilitation physician will draw up a treatment plan with you:
