DALLAS, April 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gold's Gym, the world's leading authority on health and fitness, is excited to announce a new partnership with Rolling Strong, the leader in driver wellness, in an effort to deliver driver-designed, wellness tools and on-the-road fitness programs for professional truck and bus drivers. Through the partnership, Gold's Gym will provide Rolling Strong members and their families with access to special Gold's Gym discounts – encouraging them to put a greater emphasis on leading a healthy lifestyle.

"We are excited to partner with Rolling Strong as they continue to develop new programs and services that incentivize the industry that keeps our nation moving to get fit and healthy," said Jennifer Ryan, Director of Corporate Sales and Wellness. "With 50 years of experience in delivering life-changing results, Gold's Gym is excited to welcome Rolling Strong members into our clubs and provide tools to help them achieve their health and wellness goals."

The partnership aims to not only improve the individual health of drivers on the road, but to also overhaul the state of one of the nation's mostly sedentary industries as a whole. In fact, according to a study from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, U.S. long-haul truck drivers were shown to be twice as likely to be obese compared to the adult working population. By teaming up with Gold's Gym, which has more than 101 locations throughout the U.S. with big rig parking lots, Rolling Strong members will now have the flexibility to add a convenient "fit stop" to their daily route.

"Rolling Strong is pleased to partner with Gold's Gym to deliver more tools for our members to improve and maintain their wellness goals while on the road," shared Bob Perry, president and founder of Rolling Strong, also known as The Trucker Trainer. "We applaud the efforts of Gold's Gym and their recognition of the professional driver, who we believe is America's True Road Athlete."
