Free Blood Pressure Checks

The American Heart Association recommends regular monitoring of your blood-pressure. People with high blood pressure may have no visual symptoms, which is why high blood pressure, or "hypertension", is called the silent killer. Now you can do it for free at the Semper Fit Gym!

What do they measure? There are two numbers used in a blood pressure reading. The first number is the systolic reading, which is the force on the artery walls as your heart contracts. The second is diastolic, which is the force on the artery walls between heartbeats.

Hypertension can increase your risk for other health issues, such as heart attack, stroke, kidney, or eye damage. Start the new year right. Come by the gym and see us for your free blood pressure check!
