Anytime Fitness offers healthy life challenge to older members

Aware that the average Australian lives their last 17 to 20 years affected by injury, illness or disease, leading fitness group Anytime Fitness has launched a national Healthy Life Challenge.

Now available at most Anytime Fitness clubs, the Challenge sets out to educate Australians about how they can potentially live more years free of the burden of disease, inspire them to make the positive changes required in their lives and motivate them to stick with it.

A recent pilot of the Challenge involving Anytime Fitness’ Healthy Life Project assessment, saw entrants complete a series of tests at their local Anytime Fitness club to receive a Healthy Life Score, designed to give an overall idea of their health and wellbeing, and a general indication of how their lifestyle, physiological and biometric factors may affect it.

 The test also provided entrants with a general indication of whether there is more they could do to improve their score.

Entrants then worked on these improvements over an eight week period and retook the tests to see how much they had improved their overall health and wellbeing as a result of lifestyle, diet and exercise improvements.

More than 590 people completed the pilot Challenge nationally and collectively achieved the following incredible results:

• Gained over 2,500 healthy life years 
• Increased their average healthy life potential from 76.5% to 82% (Over 4 years on average) 
• Lost over 1.3 tonnes in weight 
• Lost over 75 meters from around their waists 
• Reduced their average body fat percentages by 6%

The Healthy Life Project Health Assessment is now available at most Anytime Fitness clubs with members able to complete a free introductory assessment online or to complete the full assessment at your local Anytime Fitness club.

Anytime Fitness is currently the only national health club that offers this kind of health assessment package in Australia.
