...Bounce Fitness Corporate Marketing Plan Executive Summary Bounce Fitness will serve the corporations in the city centres of Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, helping them to become more productive, while lowering their overall costs with innovative wellness programs and strategies. Bounce Fitness is based on two simple facts: 1. Healthy employees are more productive than chronically ill employees. 2. It costs less to prevent injuries or illnesses than to treat them after they occur. Traditional endeavours to corporate health care are quite reactive. Corporations wait until after staff has been ill or injured, and then pay for the necessary treatments. The Bounce Fitness approach, emphasises prevention and good health promotion, and is much more proactive. At Bounce Fitness, we tie worker productivity directly to the health care issue. We believe that traditional approaches to the current health care crisis are misdirected. Bounce Fitness contends that by helping employees change their behaviour patterns and choose healthier lifestyles, the health care costs to corporations will be considerably reduced through increased staff productivity, reduced absenteeism and turnover, reduced worker’s compensation claims and a healthier, motivated staff. Current economic and demographic changes will make health care issues worse. The environmental factors and the local competitive situation is a clear message to Bounce Fitness. The time is right for a Bounce Fitness initiative...

Bergen offers a few suggestions to increase metabolism and assist in building and maintaining muscle mass. These include a moderate-calorie diet rich in protein, and an exercise routine which incorporates two days of strength-training and three days of short cardio workouts per week. In addition to the diet and exercise suggestions for muscle-building, Bergen offers four metabolism-boosting recommendations. First, she offers that those over age 40 should be mindful of how much protein is included into the diet. While the current RDA for protein is 0.8 gram per kilogram of body weight, she mentions studies that recommend 1 to 1.2 grams or even as high as 1.5 grams per kilogram of protein be utilized to facilitate dropping body fat and retaining lean muscle mass. Bergen notes secondly that...

...Introduction and Research Questions Ethnography is a reality-focused research method that has become increasingly popular throughout the years. This type of research provides qualitative findings pertaining to consumers, lives, habits and practices by observing people in their everyday lives and in their everyday environments. According to Clifford Geertz, author of Interpretation of Cultures, observations and findings obtained from ethnographic research represent “webs of meaning”, in other words, in-depth understandings of individuals everyday life practices (Geertz, 1973). The research group chose to study behaviors and mannerisms particularly associated with subculture groups seen in gym environments. This topic of research was chosen not just because these subculture groups are unique, since they are only seen within a gym environment, but because fitness and health are very important and relevant topics to the current concerns society faces today such as, obesity. According to the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association and Industry Insights, Inc (IHRSA), there were over 45 million Americans that belonged to a gym or health club in 2010 (IHRSA, 2010). However, obesity is a growing concern. Shockingly, there are major obesity concerns pertaining to the target demographic group, which is gym-goers between the ages of 18 to 39. The IHRSA found that the largest group of gym members are between the ages of 18 to 45 (IRHSA, 2010). Yet, key findings from...
