Blood Labs for the Wellness Industry

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.

We have been offering blood labs through online lab company Request-A-Test for years.  They offer affordable labs near your members and have trained medical personnel to interpret findings.  These lab programs offer the best use for clubs to help their members obtain basic labs as they begin exercise programs.  By clicking on the link, your clients and members can select specific blood labs and have a blood draw at a location close to them.  The link to Request-A-Test, and our recommended labs are listed below:
