Community input needed for FES Bike Project at the Timpany Center, San Jose

You may remember this past September when we reported on the availability of Adaptive Exercise Equipment at the Timpany Center in San Jose. In collaboration with the Timpany Center, NorCal SCI is exploring installing an FES Cycle in the gym which will give the opportunity for the SCI Community to access this highly-beneficial equipment free of charge as part of their Gym Membership*.

An FES Cycle is an expensive exercise equipment and it can be challenging to get access to use one on a regular basis. If there is sufficient interest, NorCal SCI is committed to installing one at the Timpany Center and provide the necessary training and scheduling to allow multiple individuals benefit from its use.

To find out more about the benefits of the FES Cycle, check out the following two websites:

If you would be interested in using the FES Cycle, please email us at info@norcalsci.org and include “FES” in the subject line.

*Timpany Center Gym membership is only $15/month. Users will be expected to purchase their own stimulation pads for their exclusive use.
