Physical Fitness was started in 2002 by Michael Leonard, Clinical Exercise Physiologist, after seeing a need for a more specialized approach to exercise. Michael graduated from Southern Connecticut State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology. His career started at Gaylord Rehabilitation Hospital in Wallingford, CT where he worked as an Exercise Physiologist in inpatient and outpatient physical therapy.
Mike's career then moved to the Hospital of St. Raphael's where he worked both as a Clinical Exercise Physiologist in cardiac, pulmonary and physical rehabilitation and as Director of their adult fitness program. Many of Mike's patients at physical therapy were not comfortable with continuing their fitness program in a large, noisy gym. They were concerned that the staff would not be knowledgeable about their many different types of medical issues.
So Mike started one of the first medical fitness facilities in the area. He hired well trained staff with backgrounds in both fitness and medicine so his clients would be safely supervised at all times.
