Prevention
At Pro Fitness, we tie worker productivity directly to the health care issue. We believe that traditional approaches to the current health care crisis are misdirected. These traditional efforts are what we call reactive--that is, they wait until after the worker has been stricken with illness or injury, and then pay for the necessary treatments. Our approach, which emphasizes prevention and good health promotion, is much more proactive.
Changes
By helping employees change their behavior patterns and choose more healthy lifestyles, Pro Fitness will lower companies' health care expenditures, while raising worker productivity. Health care expenditures will decrease due to reduced medical insurance premiums, reduced absenteeism, reduced turnover rates, reduced worker's compensation claims, reduced tardiness, shorter hospital stays, etc.

Benefits to Employees

The good news is that even moderate levels of physical activity will significantly reduce the risk of such chronic health problems as heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
