Champions Sports Medicine offers pre-exercise screening for physicians who want their patients cleared for exercise, personal trainers who need to check a client's readiness for exercise, corporations who need employees cleared for exercise, or gyms/health clubs who want to send their members in to a medical facility for pre-exercise screenings.
Legal claims and suits based on negligence are increasingly a serious issue for all health and fitness facilities.
