...Business-Lifestyle Fitness University of Phoenix-BUS/475 May 30, 2011 Susan Horvat Conceptualizing a Business-Lifestyle Fitness Throughout the history of human life, life expectancy averages have dramatically increased as we become more educated and aware of how to live longer. In the early 20th century, life expectancy has increased from 47.3 years of age to nearly 77 years of age in 2009 (Polan & Taylor, 2007). As we look at today’s awareness on health, most people are aware of early childhood vaccinations, government spending and debate on health care reform, and the growing debate on childhood obesity. The more we become concerned with the quality of life and prevention of many health diseases, life expectancy will continue to gradually increase. One popular approach to increasing awareness about healthy lifestyles includes the focus on maintaining a healthy eating lifestyle and living actively to ensure the human body is strong in every sense. More companies and businesses have started offering healthy alternatives to their product lines to remain competitive with the growing health awareness trends of most consumers. However, one aspect of healthy living which is just as important as healthy eating or awareness is the personal one-on-one guidance when concerning making the right food choices and fitness activities that individuals need. This industry has not been widely accepted or positively viewed as affordable and necessary. Lifestyle Fitness-Who We Are...

I intend to establish on-site fitness centers for employees to become physically and mentally strong and hence their productivity will increase. Therefore, this proposal will highlight the key benefits of on-site fitness centers and will also identify the requirements, costs, and time for establishing on-site fitness centers. The main objective of on-site fitness centers is to reduce health care expenditures of the employer. Companies spend millions of dollars every year on employee’s health issues. Moreover, employee’s absenteeism and turnover rate have been a serious problem for productivity and profitability of companies. Estimates indicate employee’s health care cost and absenteeism rate will decline with the addition of on-site physical fitness facilities. Hence the end-result for the company would be higher productivity and profitability. Many studies have been conducted to determine the benefits of company fitness programs. According to research...

Everyone is trying to work towards having that “perfect body”. With that in mind, there are some important aspects an individual must understand about fitness and wellness in order to achieve their goals. Usually the best place to start is with themselves, by having figuring out their current fitness status. They need to also evaluate the exercises and activities they have been doing and improve their programs that will help make improvements towards their goal. Fitness and wellness isn’t all about working out, the individual needs to work on a diet plan and ways to control metabolic functions.

...the success of the defined business. The defined business, in the instance for Life Time Fitness, the importance of a strategic plan is undisputable. In Crafting & Executing Strategy: The Quest for Competitive Advantage: Concepts and Cases Arthur A. Thompson, Jr., A.J. Strickland III, and John E. Gamble (2009) state that “a company’s strategy is management’s action plan for running the business and conducting operations” (Thomson, 2009). Additionally to further clarify that a company’s strategy is all about how management intends to grow the business, how it will build a loyal custom and competitive competitors, how each functional piece of the business will be operated, and how performance will be boosted. Any organization without these defined factors will not succeed because all aspects of the business would be out of sync and could potentially take actions that would be counterintuitive to the success of the company as a whole.

...Drew LeBlanc Eco/365 May 19, 2014 Week 4 Paper Facilitator: MICHAEL BLAKLEY The fitness industry is a billion dollar industry that only increases each year with the demand from its consumers. Everyone wants to live a healthier life style and in that regards need to find a way to do so. Regular gyms are becoming a thing of the past simply because it is the same routine over a long length of time that looses the interest of its clients very quickly. Being able to give the people what they want is always a hard thing to do, but what is even harder is keeping the people interested over the long run. Finding the right model is the biggest thing as a business you can do to optimize your success rate. Fitness will always way heavily on people because in the long run of life people want to live longer. Taking into account the busy lives of the normal person in the 21st century the time where you can take two hours at the gym is just no-existent. People want a fast and effective way to reach their fitness goals in a time frame that shows quick results. The more people have to do for themselves the less likely they will stick with it. Not everyone can afford personal training, but want that kind of attention to push them through the days they do not want to work out. In 2000 Greg Glassman took all of the data he possessed and developed a new revolutionary workout routine that was fast and effective (Crossfit, 2000).

...Chapter 2 Total health and fitness lifestyle benefits What Is Total Health and Fitness? The term total health (wellness) and fitness may be defined in a variety of ways. The most commonly used definition incorporates 5 areas- the mental, emotional, spiritual, social and physical. Although each area is important to your total health and well being, in this text we will only emphasize the physical characteristics of total health. However, since no single area can stand fully separated from the rest, we will discover how small parts of each area are inevitably intertwined with each other. When defining physical fitness, two terms are commonly used: health related fitness, and athletic performance related fitness (also referred to as motor, or skill fitness). The components of these two types are as follows: Health related fitness • Cardiovascular endurance • Muscular strength • Muscular endurance • Muscle and joint flexibility • Body composition (lean mass vs. fat mass) Athletic Performance Related Fitness (motor or skill fitness) • Cardiovascular endurance • Muscular strength • Muscular endurance • Muscle and joint flexibility • Body composition • Coordination • Speed • Agility • Power • Balance • Reaction time • Neurological efficiency Although the five components of health fitness are included in athletic fitness, the additional athletic...
