Culturally-competent programming for insulin resistance, diabetes risk, and PCOS in South Asian communities.
Progress+ delivers South Asian Health Program in Waterloo — home to Canada's tech corridor, with a mix of academic, professional, and family households — inside your home, supervised by a Registered Kinesiologist (R.Kin) rather than a certified personal trainer. That difference means your program comes from a regulated Ontario health professional and your sessions may qualify for insurance reimbursement or the CRA Medical Expense Tax Credit.
