Corporate Wellness
Helping Your Employees Move More & Live a Healthier Lifestyle
Employees spend a significant amount of time at work, making the workplace an important influence on lifestyle and daily habits. As an owner, HR director, or wellness committee chair, you can help create healthier, more productive, and more satisfied employees - and Fleet Feet Fox Valley can help.
The Facts
The 2008 CDC Health Insurance Survey found that 36% of adults were considered totally inactive. At the time, 37% were at a healthy weight, 35% were overweight, and 27% were obese, with obesity percentages even higher in the Midwest and South.
Obesity and high BMI have been directly linked to numerous diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes, which can result in higher healthcare costs for both employers and employees.
How Fleet Feet Fox Valley Can Help
Our mission is to promote active lifestyles in the Fox Valley for walkers, runners, and fitness enthusiasts of all abilities.
We can professionally fit your employees for:
- Athletic shoes
- Inserts
- Sports bras
- Comfortable fitness clothing
The right gear can make staying active more comfortable and enjoyable. After all, who wants to walk 30 minutes a day in shoes that hurt and in jeans?
