The Fit-CHAT© program, as developed by EXCEL FITNESS, has been designed to deliver current health and fitness information to the employees of participating firms and corporations. A unique modular format allows the flexibility necessary to develop programs for corporations of various sizes and demographics. This cost effective program also takes into consideration the fact that there are proven benefits to be derived from a more physically active work force, while basic economic factors may make it difficult to implement a more rigid system of delivery.

This alternative to the traditional wellness program enlists the full cooperation and support of the owners and managers of participating firms. Their input is solicited to efficiently schedule and coordinate the agreed upon modules. Topics to be discussed may be suggested by management and/or employees, and will be approved by management prior to presentation.

Fit-CHAT© strives to offer alternatives to the standard format of exercise classes, full lecture/seminar sessions, the sterile environment of blood pressure screening and blood donor programs, and other traditional "wellness" programs. The Fit-CHAT© program relies on the more personal approach of chat rooms, confidential fitness counseling, private training sessions, mini-presentations & demonstrations and "front loaded" scheduling to generate participation and positive results. These results will build a strong and lasting relationship between employer and employee; a relationship that will allow the corporate sponsor to realize the benefits of a more physically active work force.

Fit-CHAT© is presented as a fully subsidized benefit, brought to the employees because of management's concern for the well being of its work force and the belief that the firm's most valued asset is ... the employee.
