Home > Quick Fit > Why Should I Care About Employee Health?

Quick Fit provides the advantage that every business seeks... healthier employees.

Exercisers are more likely to stick to a fitness regimen when it's broken into short bouts. Recent studies from the American Heart Association and the American Journal of Cardiology have shown that short exercise sessions can be effective for aerobic fitness and weight loss.

Thirteen studies that calculated benefit/cost ratios all showed the savings from these programs are much greater than their costs, with medical cost savings averaging $3.48 and absenteeism savings averaging $5.82 per dollar invested in the programs.
