What’s New at CREW Corporate Fitness Challenges We now offer a special fitness challenge for your employees!  We will place all of your employees in teams, then take measurements and monitor things such as muscle strength and endurance, abdominal strength, flexibility, blood pressure, and body composition.  The teams will then be urged to start a fitness regimen and at the end of the competition the team with the highest health improvements will win a prize!  Although it is not necessary for your employees to be members for you to take part in the measurement process, we do offer excellent corporate rates as low as $29/month!  And what better to help motivate them than a personal trainer at CREW!  We know that employers who play a key role in helping their employees live a healthier lifestyle experience higher productivity, lower absenteeism, and lower health care claims. According to Employee Benefit News, an employee who exercises just one day per week could save an employer $680.20 per year!  We also offer “Lunch and Learns” where we will come to your office and give a motivating presentation on health and fitness!  Please contact us at (713) 802-2739 for more information.
