*gentleGYM is a cash pay service and cannot be billed through insurance*
Potential gentleGYM members do not need to be referred by a doctor. This is just a way to communicate between gG and the member's practitioner. To fit the model, the members must be managing co-morbidities, chronic pain, bariatric issues, some mental health circumstances and/ or pre/post surgical interventions needed.
