CLEVELAND, OH – PRNewswire

HealthSource, America’s largest group of clinics specializing in holistic healthcare, is kicking off the New Year by offering a free 10-Point Body Check-Up to help gym-goers keep their 2018 fitness resolutions. Those who complete the Check-Up at one of more than 250 participating HealthSource clinics will receive a free 7-day pass at participating Anytime Fitness gyms. If the individual decides to continue working out at Anytime Fitness, the initiation fee will be reduced by 50 percent and ongoing monthly fees by 10 percent.

According to a recent U.S. News and World Report survey, 68 percent of those making a New Year’s resolution in 2018 want to lose weight and get healthy. Unfortunately, 80 percent will not keep this resolution past February. Why? Mainly, they start exercising and dieting without first getting a professional physical exam.

The HealthSource 10-Point Body Check-Up evaluates patients from head to toe, reviewing range of motion, flexibility, stability, foot ailments and common head, neck and back pain points. It also assesses a person’s overall muscular and skeletal condition and nutritional intake. The evaluation can be used to create an exercise routine at an Anytime Fitness gym that is appropriate for the individual’s fitness level.

“Setting a goal to live healthier in 2018 is definitely a positive step,” said Dr. Chris Tomshack, CEO and founder of HealthSource. “But before you rush out the door to start exercising, learn what your body can and cannot do. It’s similar to taking your car to the shop before a long trip to make sure it’s roadworthy to prevent an unexpected breakdown. You need to identify conditions requiring treatment prior to starting a training routine so they don’t become chronic.”
