EXPERT FITNESS SOLUTIONS offers one of the best corporate fitness programs available. The benefits to be gained by implementing workplace fitness programs are win/win for both employers and employees as well.

For Employers

A six year study concluded that employees who kept their health-risk factors low incurred lower medical costs as compared with those whose health-risk status remained high.2 Work related injuries were also reduced. The studies also showed that exercise was both cost effective and cost beneficial, with a return on investment of $2 to $5 for every dollar invested.3

For Employees

A sedentary lifestyle is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain cancers.4 Corporate fitness programs provide tangible benefits, such as decreased absenteeism and work related injuries. Workplace fitness programs are also an excellent recruitment and retention tool, which will further improve employee morale.
