The national average cost of health benefits per employee is $7089 and is rising yearly at a higher rate than inflation. The effects of ill health on your business include: supervisory time lost assisting the ill, reassigning work which creates overburdening workloads, extra wages paid due to over-time and training, lost sales due to canceled orders, quality of service suffers, thereby, decreasing customer satisfaction

 Would you say productive employees must have good, if not vibrant health?Without proper exercise your employees become fatter, weaker and duller mentally! They can perform satisfactorily, but you want excellence, don't you?An atrophying body creates problems which usually become priorities despite company encouragement and monetary bonuses. Concentration deteriorates and energy levels dissipate. Desire to work lessens.

The myth that absenteeism is inevitable and must be tolerated is not true according to the statistics which show absenteeism rates vary wildly between companies in the same industries.

 THE BENEFITS OF COMPANIES WITH HEALTH PROGRAMS are: 20% less absenteeism; 20% less disability payouts/accidents; 27% less medical payout; 16% less turnover; 15-200% more productivity; enhanced recruitment and finally, improved company morale and image.

The fit worker copes better.  Their mental energy is not dissipated by physical worries.  The more exercise employees commit to, the more energy they have for work and after.  They are unchained by the bondage of chronic fatigue and illness!

THE PROVEN BENEFITS OF EXERCISE FOR BUSINESS are: Reduction in stress (most common cause of long leaves); reduction in colds (second most common short term loss); reduction in depression and self destructive behavior; improvement of mental functioning, concentration and consistency; improvement in decision making, self esteem and reaction time; and finally, decrease of insurance and unemployment payouts.

 So, why don't a higher percentage of your employees use your workout facility?A study done in May 2005 revealed that most people don't rank diet and exercise in their top 12 ways to maintain health! 64% listed hygiene and cleanliness, 58% listed positive attitude, 53% listed maintaining good family relations. 65% of those polled had never been to a nutrition class while 32% had never taken an exercise or fitness class. And of those workers who used your gym and now don't, a high percentage either over-trained, didn't eat right or got injured. Most former users of your gym had physical compensations which were left unaddressed and most likely led to an injury. As an on-site personal trainer I would thoroughly assess each participating employee from head to toe through a series of exercises which involved pushing, pulling, walking and balancing. I would then be able to design a corrective exercise program to strengthen weak muscles and stretch tight ones. Once compensations are corrected I'd begin progressing employees with core stabilization and strength training.

 With my services, your employees who do workout can avoid injury and stop wasting time on ineffective workouts. They will reach goals they couldn't because of a lack of guidance. I will show them how to workout safely, efficiently, less often and with better results. Exercise is not putting a message in a bottle,dropping it in the ocean and hoping it gets discovered. It's science.
