Cost-effectiveness

  • We believe the corporate fitness program works best when the cost is shared between employer and employee. This brings a sense of investment and accountability to both parties. The cost for corporate fitness involvement may also be taken pre-taxed, and should be approved through your company’s legal or accounting departments.

Three reason why a well-structured fitness program can give such great returns is that it works on many levels at once:

  • Employees become more fit and healthy which lessens sick days and health care costs. Exercise not only activates the body, it also activates the mind, and by offering a fitness alternative for your staff you are giving them an opportunity to rejuvenate and feel good about themselves.
  • Fit employees are more productive, more creative, more alert, more of what you want.
  • Employees appreciate a well-structured fitness program, helping to create loyalty and lower employee turn over. Corporate Wellness programs also help you build more personal relationships with your employees by offering a fun and beneficial forum for them to interact with each other and get to know one another. Your employees need motivation, encouragement, comfort, and consideration…they also need friends, and group exercise programs can help introduce people in your company who might not otherwise meet or exchange smiles.

  • There is a $1.3 trillion total impact on the economy from seven chronic diseases-cancer, diabetes, hypertension, stroke, heart disease, pulmonary conditions and mental illness. Of this amount, $1.1 trillion is attributed to lost productivity (DeVol et. al. 2007)
  • In 2004, the U.S. spent 85% of every healthcare dollar on people with chronic conditions (www.silverbook.org/fact/1334).
  • Chronic diseases are responsible for 7 out of 10 deaths in the U.S. (PFCD 2007).
  • More than 60% of American adults don’t get the recommended amounts of physical activity, and the majority of the U.S. population has a poor diet.
  • Lowering the rates of obesity could produce productivity gains of $254 billion and avoid $60 billion in treatment expenditures annually (De Vol et. al. 2007).
