In the coming weeks, the brand will launch its own Meridian programwhich takes a new approach to traditional health assessments by measuring holistic health, not just the absence of disease. The journey begins with a baseline assessment and develops into a personalized plan crafted by a dedicated Program Liaison, which translates the (rather complex) health data into actionable steps. An individualized program is then created to meet members and guests where they are, helping them establish a routine that fits their lifestyle while driving measurable results. Quarterly retesting provides evidence of progress and puts returning visitors on an ongoing path to meeting goals.
