What is a Corporate Fitness Program?

A Corporate Fitness Program is a joint initiative between the Bergen County EDGE Fitness Center and your company that will encourage your employees to begin a healthy lifestyle! By providing reduced membership rates, subsidized membership dues, or the convenience of payroll deduction, employees are more likely to get fit and stay fit!

Instead of just contending with the cost of health care insurance, you can control it, with a comprehensive wellness program.

The EDGE Team offers its corporate clients more than just a discounted gym membership! We are committed to providing each company results-oriented programming designed to reduce employee health risk factors that impact the bottom line.

The Costs of Poor Health
· Higher direct health care costs
· Lower work output
· Higher rates of disability
· Higher absenteeism
· Higher workers’ compensation
· Higher rates of injury

Reducing or preventing one health risk increases a person’s productivity and reduces absenteeism, disability, and future health care utilization and ultimately saves your company money.
