CORE

A great program for those at risk for a heart related illness, suffering from one, or trying to prevent one.

CARDIAC. OUTREACH. RENEWAL. EDUCATION.

At Bermuda Heart Foundation’s CORE center, at-risk individuals can take various lifestyle classes, join the perfect support group for their needs, and enjoy custom exercise trainings with the help of a cardiac fitness trainer.

WHAT WE DO

#1 PREVENT

Our 12 week primary prevention program helps those with risk factors, like obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, or diabetes. Our team of professionals will create individualized lifestyle modification programs for them to follow. Clients will have access to a dietitian, health psychologist, and a personal trainer.

#2 TRAIN

Our qualified trainers are dedicated to getting your heart health back on track by coming up with a personalized plan that suits your needs. We greatly benefit by having a Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise Specialist on our team who knows the correct ways to safely create an exercise plan for those in recovery.

#3 EDUCATE

Our specialized classes teach Bermudians how to understand health, prepare healthy meals, manage stress, and make educated decisions. We are focused on promoting healthy lifestyle modification habits that last a lifetime, as opposed to diets and fitness trends.
