Empower Your Fitness Employees
• Permit and fund your “fitness employees” to provide customized
fitness services to your other employees at off-site fitness facilities
• Your “fitness employees” need tools to motivate and sustain
engagementfor your other employees
✓ Let them drive your employees fitness goals
✓ Let them travel to gyms nearby employees’ homes
✓ Let them work weekends (increased availability)
✓ Let them monitor and help achieve the health goals of other employees
• Quarterly competitions are nice, but get redundantquickly
• Gym membership is passive; company’s pay without guarantee of use
• Getting started may be intimidating
✓ Employees with body issues may not want to workout with other employees
• Having a personal trainer or workout buddy is ALWAYS an advantage

With a strong wellness program,enable all your employees to achieve
both, during their time with you… and by increasing employee morale
by keeping them healthy, you also keep them as employees longer,
thus reducing hiring and training costs.

Testimonials (con’t)
• Roger Corron, Certified Personal Trainer,Boston, MA
“You're doing an essential job. The only other regular
source I've found for this kind of listing in the Boston
area is Craigslist, and searching the phrase "gym for
rent" returns 99.9 per cent office listings. Good luck!.”

Worcester, MA
“Your website is quite impressive and interesting. I
don't know anyone else doing this sort of business in
the fitness industry. I love what you have created.”
