What are some ways that a company could get involved with other local businesses and participate in wellness?

I am very fond of the Medical Fitness Association and their program of implementing all dimensions of health into of unified alliance that will better the people and the businesses. I believe emailing other companies directly and creating partnerships to better your business and their will help generate revenue and reach out to more individuals!

I am actually developing a brochure with our local restaurant that has healthy foods on their menu. As a personal trainer and a fitness instructor, the brochure has my recommendations for food choices. And for everyone that signs up at our gym, we give a gift card to that restaurant.

Blue Cross Blue Sheild has programs in place that encourage their employees to seek out fitness businesses to get involved with. They give money, prizes, and all sorts of perks to the “health concious.”

By offering services such as health/fitness assessments, participation in their annual health fair, and offering free fitness articles to local businesses you may be able to get your foot in the door of some of your local business. Of course, once there, that’s your opportunity to show your stuff and win them over to becoming a regular paying client 🙂

I hope that this helps.

It would be great if they would sponsor a wellness walk at a community event and make T shirts for everyone followed by a healthy snack
