UNICUS Fitness Corporate Wellness Training Facility

The traditional corporate fitness center is dead.Strong words indeed, but all the signs point to it. Businesses that create or open up a corporate fitness center in the hopes of shaping up their employees are better off taking a suitcase full of money into the bathroom and then flushing it all down the toilet. It will have the same effect and be a lot quicker.

The myth began with studies that point out that a healthier employee can actually save the average business over $1200 per year in decreased health care costs, days lost to absenteeism and increased productivity.*(Welcoa.com)Businesses wanted to cash in on this and so they solicited traditional health clubs as a place to send their people to improve their health and fitness. The health clubs were happy to have the business which increased their membership sales, but they didn’t really show much interest in making sure that the employees improved their health and well being. This is not the important business side of health clubs anyway. They want to sell memberships but don’t really care if people come, only that they pay.

So businesses decided to start building fitness centers onsite at their offices in the hopes that their people would be able to workout at their place of business. But as the numbers indicate and the trends show, the majority of people that use traditional onsite fitness centers are people that already workout or have gym memberships.** (IDEA.com)

The corporate fitness center took its cue from traditional fitness centers and gyms and as UNICUS Fitness has pointed out time and time again, any place filled with a majority of fixed range motion machines is nothing more than a waste of time, metal and money. The thinking that a corporate fitness center should just be a scaled down version of a traditional health club is extremely limited thinking. It will only affect those that will already work out and won’t really help the people that need the most help because they will be turned off by the design and function. Traditional health clubs have never been able to penetrate more than 18% of the population as a whole and the main reason that people give for not joining a health club is that they believe that health clubs are exclusively for people that are already in shape. So why would anyone build off a design that has such a dismal track record in attracting the majority of the general population?

This is the question that UNICUS Fitness has been asking for years and now they have finally gone and done something about it. With the introduction of the UNICUS Fitness Corporate Wellness Training Facility, businesses and office buildings now have a real, viable alternative to the old, stale, fitness center designs of the last 30 years. The UNICUS Fitness design is based on open space, full body movements and maximum calorie burning. The traditional fitness center is a very exclusive place….if you don’t know how to use the equipment, there is no point in going. At best you would waste your time, at worst you could get seriously hurt.

With the UNICUS Fitness design, the space is very inclusive and unintimidating. People from all walks, shapes and experiences can all change their lives and bodies in a much shorter time with very little instruction needed by the UNICUS Fitness instructors.The majority of people in the world want to look and be smaller, tighter and sexier than they are right now. Building large muscles and making their frames larger is not the main goal of 97% of the population. Lines of fixed range motion machines and traditional training methods of adding weight, sets and reps are designed to make a person bigger, not smaller. UNICUS Fitness Training methods, coupled with the fitness center design, help people build smaller and tighter bodies by focusing on maximum muscle stimulation, calorie burning and functional conditioning. The results that can be achieved are superior to any and all traditional corporate fitness center designs and all the evidence collected supports that claim.***(unicusfitness.com)

But the real area of superiority is in the building expense. A traditional corporate fitness center averages the following:Size=3000 square feetEquipment=Line of cardio equipment, line of strength training equipment, benches, dumbbells, barbellsAverage expense of equipment=$250,000-$500,000

Here is an example of a traditional facility:

Now compare that to the cost of a UNICUS Fitness Corporate Wellness Training Facility:Size=3000 square feetEquipment=Suspension trainers, dumbbells, barbells, bands, Swiss balls, mats, jump ropes, Joggers, kettlebells, med balls, treadmills, elliptical machines, rowers, upper body cardioAverage expense of equipment=$75,000-$100,000

If the company or building wants to build out showers and locker rooms ,that is a fixed cost no matter what kind of facility they decide to build.

Here is a look at a UNICUS Fitness Corporate Wellness Training Facility template. This is based off of its private space, The Fitness Lair, located on Michigan Ave in Downtown Chicago.

You can see that space is a much bigger premium than stuffing a whole lot of equipment into the area. The area is inviting and much less intimidating to people who have never worked out before and are the ones that need to improve their health the most.

The largest expense is the flooring and some of the specialty equipment, but the rest is pretty basic. UNICUS Fitness is able to train up to 30-40 people per session with the actual working out time coming out to anywhere from 16-24 minutes. With the unique classes and methodology that they have developed themselves, UNICUS Fitness has fast developed the reputation for delivering fast and lasting results for businesses and their workers.

The following is the list of equipment needed to fully outfit the Corporate Wellness Training Facility so that it can accommodate up to 50 people per session:

6 TRX Suspension Holders18 TRX Suspension Trainers12 Swiss Balls25 Spri Bands-Green50 Mini Bands15 Med Balls-Various sizes50 Jump Ropes50 Mats25 Kettlebells1 Group Pack of Hand Weights20 Body Bars Pack5 Treadmills5 Ellipticals5 Rowers5 Upper Body Cardio machines
