Keeping up with health and fitness is challenging, especially for those working in the corporate world. With 40+ hour workweeks, commuting, sleep, eating, family, social life, and daily tasks, finding time for exercise and healthy cooking can seem impossible. Even if you manage to squeeze in a gym visit, many people feel lost, not knowing how to exercise effectively to improve their health and fitness.
Common Obstacles to Fitness
Most individuals face two main obstacles when it comes to reaching their fitness goals:
Lack of Time: They want to exercise, eat healthy, and be active, but time constraints make it difficult. In fact, 67% of gym memberships go completely unused!
Lack of Knowledge: Even when they find time to go to the gym or cook healthy meals, many people are unsure what to do. Around 55% report not knowing how to improve their health and fitness effectively.
At 1-2-1 Fitness, we specialize in addressing these two primary challenges. We help employees find ways to eat and exercise for their goals, and do so in a manner that fits into their schedule. We also place a large emphasis on education through our coaching, so our clients are constantly learning how to reach their goals on their own!
