Exercise is Medicine for Patients With CKD

The investigators plan to integrate and tailor the existing Exercise is Medicine framework, an evidence-based multi-level intervention program developed by the American Society of Sports Medicine, for the care of patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. In this pilot randomized control trial, investigators will compare the effects and feasibility of two intervention arms designed to start and maintain physical activity in this high-risk population (Group 1: physical activity assessment, brief counseling session + physical activity wearable versus Group 2: Group 1 intervention components + referral to a free, community-based, EIM practitioner led group exercise program).
