Blood Labs

Why are blood labs important?

Over 90% of doctors’ decisions on health care are based on blood lab results.  Health clubs can use lab information for proper exercise assessments and prescriptions.  When consumers use the Lab Corp web site Request-A-Test, they can directly choose labs (see below), pay discount rates through Medical Health and Fitness, and have results back within three days.  The Request-A-Test site will find the closest draw center, and their doctors will review all lab panels.  Members can share data with trainers as long as it is kept confidential.  We suggest entering this information into the Healthy Stats outcomes software.  It is the easiest way to have bloods drawn. Work with us to include these lab results into data analysis of your clinical programs.

Blood labs may be one of the most important assessment tools for the health club industry.  Medical Health and Fitness has signed an affiliate agreement for specific blood labs ordered through their online portal - Request-A-Test.  By clicking on the link below, your clients and members can select specific blood labs (listed) and have a blood draw at a location close to them.  These lab results can be shared with staff as part of their exercise therapy programs.  The link to Request-A-Test, and our recommended labs are listed below:
