Corporate Wellness Program

In today’s fast paced world, employees are more stressed and unhealthier than ever. They are expected to work more and to be more productive. Unfortunately, their body can not keep up with the pace and are experiencing severe fatigue, headaches and a variety of symptoms that are causing them to be unhappy and severely unproductive. I know firsthand what it’s like to work in corporate America.

I used to work in the financial industry and the stress and workload was unbearable. After switching careers to becoming a Personal Trainer in Los Angeles I learned how to cope with work stress and enhance my productivity in the workplace. It is this personal transformation that has allowed me to help companies better equip their employees by teaching them how to eat and exercise in a way that will improve their health, reduce sick days, and for the employer reduce health care cost!

Research studies show that a healthy diet and exercise program can enhance the bottom line for companies. As an employer what can you do to make a difference? You have the power to provide employees with the right tools to:

  • Reduce stress and sick days
