Corporate fitness and wellness at Bonne Vie Fitness
The mounting costs of maintaining unhealthy employees, coupled with the expense and disruption associated with staff turnover, is leading many employers to implement a workplace health promotion strategy. Thanks to a growing body of evidence, today's workplace health programs are no longer viewed as just a good idea, but rather a crucial investment in an organization's long-term success
During the later half of the twentieth century health problems at the work site have increased dramatically. According to Mark J. Occhipinti, M.S., Ph.D.c., American Industry loses $32 billion dollars and 132 million work days every year because of employee's premature deaths that are associated with cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure, heart stroke, diabetes, and obesity). Billion dollars more are lost due to lowered productivity, which is the result of sickness and disability.
In order to promote a healthy work place physicians and health care professionals have recommended increased core muscle strength as a means of preventing back injuries of sedentary workers for over 300 years. "Core muscle strength is a concrete way to improve balance, athletic performance, and potentially prevent a variety of injuries in people of all ages and fitness levels," said John D. Willson, MSPT, doctoral candidate and research assistant at the University of Delaware in Newark.
Bonne Vie Fitness offers a comprehensive training program for core muscle development that combines elements of yoga, Pilates, and weight training. This exercise program can be done from the comfort of an employee, office. The program includes the following four essential components: nutrition, aerobic fitness, flexibility and core strength.
These four areas are taught through hands-on-coaching, supplementary fitness training tools in ten week group education.
The goal of the program is to increase employee fitness levels, reduce stress and incorporate injury prevention by building each employee participant's core muscle strength.
