The Healthy Movement Project supports physical fitness activities with Peloton™ bikes for indoor cycling. Trillium placed the equipment at locations where members spend a good portion of their time, such as adult day programs and psychosocial rehabilitation programs. Peloton™ designs commercial grade bicycles that are durable, user-friendly, and have online classes that let users meet others from all over the country.
Participants in the Healthy Movement Project were chosen from a Request for Proposal process that closed in May 2019. Trillium awarded a total of 63 bikes to 19 provider organizations at 55 different locations throughout the Trillium region.
Programs that received the bikes include social recreation programs, group homes, adult day vocational programs, psychosocial rehabilitation programs, and day treatment programs.
Trillium considered reasons such as funding availability, completeness of application, serving a high volume of members, and covering as many counties in our region as possible. Sites have shared about participant use of the equipment and how they are meeting their healthy goals. Staff also helped train members on how to use the equipment and encourage participation
