Corporate Fitness

Corporate Fitness is on the rise. In fact it is growing by leaps and bounds, even in a slower economy. But why? Simple. It makes businesses more money.

Of course spending money at a time when money is harder to come by can be a little daunting for businesses. They look at their bottom line and say, "Where can we cut?" But many are now looking and saying, "How can I make more?" Fitness is the answer.

The math is very simple. For ever dollar a business spends on health and fitness, they make back almost four dollars. Sounds crazy but it's true. That's because a healthy employee takes fewer sick days, pays more attention, has fewer injuries and gets more work done.

I have a company I work with that actually makes money everyone month having me come in and do fitness bootcamps. They used to pay for gym memberships and only about 10 percent of people used them. Now they pay to have me there and almost 90 percent of people come to workout three times a week.

So try putting together a fitness group at your work. You'll save time going to the gym and you'll feel better the whole time you're working.
