  • Massive Morale Boost

    It’s no secret that a healthy body produces a healthy, happy mind.

    Connected directly to the morale boost, our corporate wellness program is sure to increase your office’s productivity and improve its overall workflow. According to the Center for Disease Control, people who are overweight, obese, or have other chronic health problems miss about 450 million more workdays than healthy workers, leading to an estimated cost of about $153 billion lost in productivity per year.

    What’s great about our corporate wellness program is that, by exercising the body and fueling it with a nutritious diet, the benefits have a positive effect for both a person’s physical and emotional health. This naturally helps a person’s body fight off sickness and depression, and to heal more quickly from physical injuries, ultimately leading to reduced healthcare costs that your company would need to cover.
