The opportunity now exists for health club operators in the UK to offer access to GPs and various health checks as an add-on to memberships, creating another revenue stream, adding value for members and support for health services. Some operators in the US are going as far as offering in-depth health testing, which puts those with the means to pay in an excellent position to optimise their health. US operator, Life Time Inc., launched Miora Longevity and Performance in November 2023. This health optimisation service involves a consultation, a diagnostic blood test and metabolic code assessment to determine the health of adrenals, thyroid, pancreas, liver, kidney, lymph, gut, the immune system, brain, cardiovascular, pulmonary and neurovascular systems, as well as hormone levels. Results are then used to create a tailored programme involving exercise, diet, HRT, IV therapies, weight loss drugs, hot and cold therapy, hyperbaric chamber and compression therapy. This year, Equinox teamed up with Function Health to offer a US$40,000 a year membership called Optimize by Equinox, which offers 100 laboratory health tests to inform personalised programmes. Equinox partner, Dr Mark Hyman, co-founder of Function Health, said the partnership marks a historic moment when health breaks out of the doctor’s office: “By combining Equinox’s expertise and Function Health’s 100+ lab test approach, we’re unlocking a level of health and fitness that surpasses even what top doctors and biohackers can access,” he said. What are the next steps for operators wanting to offer a more holistic service and access to medical interventions? HCM asked the experts.

Health clubs are becoming just that. Looking at everyone's health rather than just fitness. They are becoming more and more the hub to be "your better self". Nuffield Health in my mind were the forward thinkers in this with their MOT blood works that could be done on site to get a full reading of your personal body. Then more and more facilities started adding to their offerings from dietitians to physios to workshops to mental health to mobility and everything in-between. We are in a time where more technology and resources are available and it makes perfect sense to be able to offer these within an environment where we focused on HEALTH & FITNESS & WELLNESS. Currently, we at LYMA are partnering up with Wellness and Health clubs to offer Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to assist in the Recovery of Muscle, Tissue, Bone & Joints.
