- 30 to 35 people a dayAbout seven participants an hour move through the full screening.
- Flexible for volunteersLate-afternoon sessions and scheduling around your training nights.

The North Greenville Fitness difference
A screening that goes well past the basic physical.
EKG-monitored stress testing
A 12-lead, sub-maximal graded exercise test with blood pressure monitoring. Heart-rate-only protocols can’t show the electrical abnormalities that reveal heart disease.
A deeper blood panel
Chemistries, full lipids, complete blood count and a four-part thyroid screen. Uric acid, GGT and iron are included because they catch conditions common in the fire service.
One-on-one with a physician
Every participant can sit down with a physician to talk through their results. Our medical directors are board certified and experienced in graded exercise testing.
The clearances OSHA requires
Fire brigade and respirator clearance forms for each member, built on 29 CFR 1910.156, 1910.134 and 1910.120. Our program is reviewed against OSHA requirements every year.
A personal exercise prescription
Each person leaves with a plan based on their aerobic capacity, risk level and the kind of exercise they actually like to do.
Degreed, ACLS-certified teams
Our physiologists hold bachelor’s or master’s degrees in exercise science, and each team travels with its own certified phlebotomist.
North Greenville Fitness & Cardiac Rehabilitation Clinic has a longstanding and very successful program for screening firefighters which includes exercise stress testing and lipid and blood pressure measurements.
