Carda Health

Having a scheduled time to exercise helps to make me move! Catelyn and Blake were great encouraging me.

I really like the workouts, although I started doing them quite out of shape and am still getting there. They are challenging but doable, especially with the way the instructors offer alternative moves when possible or needed. The class instructors are all good as well. I especially like my coach, Brittany Whiley. She is so helpful and friendly, informed about everything and if she ever doesn't have an answer, she'll get it in no time at all. I'm really grateful for this program, and so glad I found it and am able to participate in it. Plus, my pulmonologist thinks it's really good for me. Thanks, Carda Health.

We had a rocky start with three coaches in five weeks. But, with Alexandra, I hit the jackpot!! She is a great coach and cheerleader. I am now able to keep up as the workouts get more challenging. Being sedentary for the last three years due to Covid and a couple surgeries really took the energy out of me. I am a recluse so exercise was not a priority. I told my cardiologist about Carda. He wrote it down so hopefully you’ll get more people. I like Caesar the instructor. He’s been my fav so far. 🌻

Friendly course and a wonderful experience!

I entered the program with a less than positive attitude since it was my wife who started the registration process before discussing it with me. My attitude quickly changed through my interactions with the Carda Health staff - Everyone was very professional and friendly. The equipment provided was excellent and the instructions for setup and operation were easy to follow. However, the key to my success with the program was Justy V., my personal coordinator/coach. When we had a problem getting a consistent reading from the heart monitor, she knew exactly the corrective actions necessary. When I experienced a minor injury during our last session, she immediately was there to adjust the exercises to enable me to complete the session and then provided me with educational materials to alleviate the problem. Justy has to be one of the very best that Carda Health has to offer - she is knowledgeable, professional and personable. I've come to consider Justy, not only as an outstanding service provider, but as a mgood friend. As an aside, I was so impressed with the program that I'm signing up for the Phase III self-directed program. Keep up the good work.

This program was great at every level, from coaches, cost and customer service. The best benefit is I maintain the exercise on my own after completing the program and my endurance and breathing continue to improve. Side benefit is I have lost 10 pounds. My coach Emily Posch was with me every step offering support and encouragement and was very knowledgeable about copd and exercise. I also received my deposit back in a timely manner.

When I started the program I had no idea what to expect. It has helped me so much. I have gone from sitting in a chair to exercise to standing and exercising for 25 to 30 minutes and bringing my heart into the target area. It has given me more energy and stamina and I would definitely recommend if. Katelyn was always encouraging and helpful.

Since having COPD Stage 4 my life was just sitting home on the couch. Hooked up on a concentrator 24/7 not fun. Since starting their program I have more energy, I'm out actually walking my dog not far a few blocks but to me and my husband that's alot. I have had several people ask what are you eating? I said why am I getting fay? They said no you look so good you must be doing something different. Nicole at Cardia is so supportive and in tune as to how I'm feeling and just what I need on any given day. I 1000% hope any one who has an opportunity to try this program do it. I promise you won't be sorry. Every day I get better and better. I know there is no cure, but this program is helping me live my life to the fullest as possible.

I had no idea that this kind of therapy was even available for my condition which is COPD. I'm 73 years old and smoked for almost 60 years I'm ashamed to say. I accidentally came across the information and with nothing to lose I discovered that it was exactly that "nothing to lose" but everything to gain. I have just started the last half of my sessions and am truly stunned about how effective they have been. The most dramatic evidence that I can offer is that I was initially unable to run around playing with my 4 years old granddaughter without becoming winded and unable to play for long without sitting down and catching my breath. That was just over 6 weeks ago and I noticed just this past weekend that it wasn't happening as much at all. I was shocked to realize that the sessions were actually very affective. There is absolutely and definitely a noticeable difference and improvement in my breathing and ability to be more active than I hoped or have been in years. The sessions are not that hard to complete because they are just movement activities and not really exercise in a working out sense and they are pretty easy and fun to get through. Also a gigantic shout out to my motivator, session over-lady and guidance counselor for every session Ms. Emily P. She has been with me for each session and helps me understand the facts about what is or isn't happening with my medical condition and the kind of effects I'm experiencing. She's unbelievably knowledgeable, really nice and easy to understand and get along with. Nurses are just wonderful people ❤️. I'm excited by my progress and looking forward to what I may be able to accomplish.

The exercise routine made me realize how " out of shape" I was despite being very active. Rachel was very helpful and mindful of my stress level.

Nothing short of miraculous. When I first heard about Carda's pulmonary therapy I wasn't sure it would help. I'd been dealing with several specialists for cardiac, pulmonary and autonomic nervous system disorders. Each specialist said his area wasn't the problem. They were from different practices and wouldn't talk to each other. Yet, even though they each said I "was fine" I couldn't walk more than 5 feet w/out becoming very short of breathe, having palpitations, dizzy all the time and basically bedridden for over a year. I finally started to look for ways to take my life back. After researching Carda, I was pretty sure it wouldn't hurt me and if it didn't help, I'd be no worse off than I had been. But if I did my best and tried to complete the program as directed, and it WORKED, I'd be that much closer to regaining my life back. It wasn't without bumps in the road; I had several instances when I had to take a few sessions or a few weeks off to address an immediate health issue. My pulmonary therapist, Emily, was so supportive every step of the way, I looked forward to resolving whatever issue slowed me down so I could get back at it. Although it took a almost six months to complete the first 12 wks, she never gave up on me and in turn inspired me to not give up on myself. I'll never be able to do the things I could do twenty years ago but I no longer doubt that I can keep improving to make each day a little better than the one before. I'm convinced I still have a lot of living to do. I can't wait to get started with Phase III so that I'll be in better shape to do so. Emily was very instrumental in helping me to get the most out of each set of exercises and how to adapt various exercises that would have been dangerous for me as demonstrated by the on screen trainer; because of concurrent preexisting conditions. I plan to recommend this program to several relatives with severe respiratory problems who also feel like their doctors have been playing " kick the can" with their health.

The administrations staff is great, they obtained all approvals needed from Doctors and Insurance. The scheduling and workout are flexible and adjusted to meet my level of participation. The coach is constantly involved in the training sessions, I have noticed a improvement in breathing and physical activity since I began this program in July

It's helping me! My therapist has been so kind and professional, gradually increasing my activity during these sessions. She gives me reminders when i occasionally forget and always willing to reschedule as i request. It's extremely convenient and doesn't cause covid anxiety huffing and puffing around other people. I was resisting PT out in the community because of covid even though i knew i needed it. A friend told me she was having this therapy at home with Cardia, i called Cardia and they got me set up with zero effort on my part after the initial call. If you get the chance to work with Emily Posch, she's great and deserves a raise.

The guidance and the education that I received

I like Carda because: 1.My 'coach' in video session, Ms. Cassidy Queen, is pleasant, respectful and very helpful. 2. Carda provides *everything* needed for efficient video sessions with their excellent physiotherapists. All top flight equipment, even an iPad! 3. Each session is well fitted to my needs. 4. They are flexible about attendance - when I can't make a session there is no big fuss, in the next session we just take up where we left off. 5. My experience with Carda is making a positive impact on my life.

It was a well-designed exercise program utilizing a variety of different techniques. I was also continually monitored by my personal coach, Morgan B and she tailored my program to my needs. She also monitored my blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. She was also very personable and encouraging.

Morgan, my RT was top of the line as well as all the coaches. Many thanks! They are a good crew!

The consistently of the coach and it was very enjoyable

I live in an area where the Cardio Rehab therapy I required was not available. I did find one but not close or affordable. The Carda program fit my needs perfectly. It was definitely the perfect solution and just right for me. Katelyn was my therapist and she's wonderful and very knowledgeable. Would recommend this program whole heartedly.

The program started at a level that was tailored to my abilities and progressed steadily as my abilities progressed, while steadily monitoring my stats throughout the process. I was quite surprised at how much more I could do by the end of the program.
