...Plan Part 1: Conceptualizing a Business In today’s society fitness has become a vital part of day to day life, whether its running, going to the gym, or doing fitness videos in the comfort of your own home. Because of this, fitness centers have become a staple for almost every community not just in the continental United States but worldwide, which is why Snap Fitness has been selected as the business venture that will be embarked on in order to provide a greater fitness experience for communities within the Imperial Valley, and eventually across southern California. Snap Fitness is a 24 hour fitness center which provides every amenity any other fitness center or gym can offer, without the obligation of a contract, as well as being open 24 hours a day seven days a week without having to rely on personal to be there in order to enjoy the facility. Snap Fitness can provide its customers everything from tanning, group fitness sessions, personal training sessions, hydro massage therapy, as well as enough fitness equipment to satisfy the beginner to the advanced weight lifter. These luxuries are often offered by other fitness centers but with an increase in membership fees with every option upgrade, with Snap Fitness the membership will be on a month to month basis, with the fees being all inclusive, meaning one fee to utilize every amenity the fitness center has to offer, which is why the mission statement for Snap Fitness is “fast-convenient-affordable”.

PROJECT SUMMARY PROJECT SUMMARY Fitness There are thousands of people in Baguio City specifically men, who actually hit the gym to exercise and maintain their physical fitness. With the number of people consciously aware that they need to flex and stretch their muscles regularly, investing and starting a fitness business was considered by the proponents a good idea.

...Aug 16, 2014 Dr. David Moody Southwestern College Professional Studies Abstract I will explain in this paper how the ACHIEVE Model can be used to identity and diagnose issues that if addressed will increase employee productivity. The purpose of the research was to explain how being granted time to work out during duty hours would benefit the employee and the organization. I looked at the regulation that cover fitness in the Air Force and compared it to how my organizational actually conducts their fitness program. The research proved being physically fit greatly contributes to performance readiness levels. The Air Force currently has a fitness plan for their members however, it is not equally adhered to by all members. There are two reason why one, some Airmen just cannot break away from their job to exercise during duty. The other reason is not all squadrons grant the authorized 90 minutes during duty to exercise. Overall the Air Force does a good job when it comes to fitness, but there is room for improvement. Physical Fitness Leads to Increased Productivity at Work Leaders have many responsibilities. One of the most important responsibilities leaders have is keeping employees motivated while sustaining a high level of performance. This can be a challenge because motivational and hygiene factors vary from employee to employee. Organizations expect a high level of performance from employees to generate a net profit and provide good customer...

...Professor Shaughna L. Vaughan December 19, 2014 Physical fitness is a high priority for every soldier and has a direct influence on the overall readiness of an organization. The Army requires each soldier to have the ability to pass a physical fitness test twice a year, while remaining in height and weight standards at all times. In my current organization, there is a problem with both soldiers having the ability to pass a physical fitness test as well as remaining in accordance with the Army’s Body Fat Program. Physical training is an individual responsibility, however commanders can implement training programs to help soldiers on every level meet the Army’s physical fitness standards. The Problem The Army’s physical fitness test consists of three events: push-ups, sit-ups, and a two-mile run in an allotted amount of time. Age and gender determine the number of repetitions that must be completed in two minutes and the amount of time allowed to complete the two-mile run. There are alternate events such as the walk and bicycle for soldiers that may have physical limitations that prevent them for complete the standard physical fitness test. Each soldier personal characteristics and abilities are unique when it comes to physical fitness; therefore the physical fitness program has to target various fitness levels. It is up to leaders to identify soldier’s strength and weakness and develop fitness plans to help soldiers succeed. The Army publishes manuals that provide...

...Weight loss workout: Origin of Zumba fitness "Zumba fitness is always called a happy accident," says Sucheta. "One day Alberto "Beto" Perez, a Colombian who was an aerobics instructor in the early 90s forgot to carry his music tapes for his classes, but he still had to conduct the classes. He is also an amazing Latin dancer, so what he did - he improvised. He went to his car and brought his Latin music tapes out and played that class. He started to mix latin moves and the aerobics exercises, and that was the first unofficial Zumba class. Therefore we call it the happy accidient. Since that day, zumba fitness has grown in 12 years exponentially." This class revolutionized fitness and dance, Sucheta explains "He conducted 9-10 classes every week, he then moved to the capital of Colombia[->0] - Bogota and became famous. Then he wanted to take Zumba to the world, so the best thing to do is take Zumba to the US. But he had to struggle in the US - sleep on benches and knocked on every gym door to accept his programme - Zumba fitness. After struggling for four years in Miami[->1], one fitness director accepted his request. As he conducted Zumba there were other gym members whose interests were peaked with this fitness routine. And at the end of that one hour the class was full." And that's the story of Zumba fitness. Weight loss workout: Zumba fitness music "Zumba used very Latin inspired music - salsa, meringue, rumba, reggaeton. But in the last 5 years it is international music...

HARISHANKAR VC ROLL NO: 0401076 MEMO TO: ZACHARY EVANS, VICE PRECIDENT, OPERATIONS FROM: JOSEPH MIROLA, CLAIMS MANAGER DATE: 10TH JULY 2014 SUBJECT: FITNESS CENTER INPUTS Dear Zach, Let me first extend my gratitude for allowing me to express my views regarding the fitness center. I’m one of the 35% employees who use the fitness center, and I can, without any doubt testify that it is indeed a valuable asset of the company and has had a positive impact on my life. Recently, I had collected some data from the company records to find out if the fitness center has had any impact on our employees. I found that generally the users of the facility had lower medical costs than the non users. It was also observed that the annual absenteeism rates are half (6 days) for users when compared with the non users (12 days). I do agree that this could also be due to the natural health conditions of the persons involved, and may have nothing to do with the fitness center. But having personally realized that my productivity increased after frequenting the fitness center, I instituted a Wellness Program in my department, about 8 months ago. I can now proudly say that productivity has been up by 18% while the sick days have decreased by 5% in the claims department. Employees have set a goal of using the fitness center twice weekly, and some groups have even formed support groups to encourage each other. Most of the...
