an idea to run by you...

A few thoughts...

Yes it's a good idea!

I like the idea of having it at the Barix facility. People like me who came some distance to Barix (2 hours) would probably not want to navigate their way to a local church hall unless it was required. Also, you would not have to deal with facility rental issues and the like.

Above all, don't have it at a gym - talk about negative associations!

I also think that an orientation to the benefits of exercise in terms of (1) readiness for surgery, (2) better recovery, and (3) psychological benefits would be helpful, maybe with a short presentation by a psychologist or nurse. Exercise is one of the huge hurdles that we have to overcome - it's so fraught with failure and fear.

Karen,

Love the idea, you should talk to Barix about it.  It could be done after the Saturday meeting.  Maybe someone like you would like to lead this and see how far it goes. 

Great idea!
