Corporate Fitness Training

The benefits of implementing a corporate wellness program include:

•improved corporate image
•financial benefits for the company
•health benefits for the staff


The financial benefits for a company are:
improved staff productivity
more alert staff
more alert staff work better together
reduced absenteeism and sick leave
increased motivation
increased energy levels
reduction in smoking


The benefits for the staff are: reduced blood pressure, reduced cholesterol levels, reduced obesity, better posture, decreased stress levels, reduced coronary problems.

One of the biggest benefits of corporate fitness is reduced staff turn over. Staff turn over is a major cost to a company, and is estimated to cost approximately 40% of the first years salary of the employee.

Most people spend a significant proportion of their time at work so work is an ideal place to promote increased physical fitness.

Personal Trainers and Park Registration

Due to the increasing numbers of Personal Trainers using parks and other outdoor spaces for training some councils are enforcing licensing systems. The Brisbane City Council has no plans to do so, however Cairns and the Sunshine Coast already have systems. The Gold Coast City Council is introducing a system from next year.
Councils say the reasons for the licensing are about public liability issues.
OR is it a money grab?

Lifting Heavy Stuff and Stuff.

Should healthy people be rewarded?

Should healthy people be rewarded?

If 61 percent of Australia is overweight or obese and increasing each year, shouldn’t the minority (the healthy population) get an added benefit for staying trim. In 2008 the total annual cost of obesity for both children and adults in Australia, including health system costs, productivity and carers costs, was estimated to be around $58 billion of tax payers hard earned money. Why should healthy people be charged for staying healthy and using less government resources? By implementing a reverse health scheme with a focus on health promotion, encouragement and reward rather than just cleaning up the mess once it’s already been made benefits the population doing the right thing.

Ideas anyone?

One proposal could be a healthy population reward scheme to reward good health. An annual health checkup would determine your health status with simple BMI and fitness tests. Once found healthy a decreased tax threshold would be rewarded.

Prue Sinclair: Prac Student

I’m Prue Sinclair and I am a third year Human Movement student from QUT. In two weeks I am finished university and am off overseas for a while to pursue my crazy childhood dreams of dive instructing, teaching English and working in a zoo in Borneo. I enjoy the rehabilitation side of my degree as well as the personal contact with clients. In my future I see the outdoors, the tropics, laughter, and health… Time will no doubt tell.

Well Done to the FIT's competing at the NOOSA Triathlon
