New Fitness Site Launched for Small Businesses to Encourage Employee Health and Wellness

    COLUMBUS, OH, October 6, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- HyperStrike, a leading fitness, nutrition and training company, launched Wellsite, www.wellsite.com, as an online health service for small and medium-sized businesses to offer their employees. E-mail and web-based wellness programs offer prevention without the additional costs associated with a managed, on-site wellness facility, and presents a financially advantageous solution for small businesses.

In fact, in 2007, the cost of employer-sponsored health insurance programs increased an average of six percent. Total costs associated with lost productivity were estimated at $225.8 billion, which translates to approximately $1,685 dollars per employee Plus, researchers estimate that fifty percent of health care expenditures are attributed to preventable lifestyle behaviors, such as physical inactivity, overeating and poor food choices.

"Wellsite allows businesses to address preventable lifestyle behaviors, and ultimately reduce costs for employees and the company. The program allows each member to specify their personal health goals, whether it's through exercise, goal setting or physical activity," Mike Greeves, CEO of HyperStrike and founder of Wellsite said. "Wellsite does not require businesses to drag through a complicated business plan, nor do we require employees to complete any kind of health risk assessment. Wellsite is a painless, affordable way for a business owner to offer employees a wellness center that gets results."

Wellsite allows businesses to avoid the complexities, costs and headaches of implementation, support and maintenance of a wellness site. By purchasing the tool, businesses are provided a login and password for all employee members. Users can set specific personal goals based on the health program that fits their needs. For example, users can specify if they want to lose weight, eat healthier, drink more water, etc. No matter the goal, Wellsite can help you track it and measure your success. The site even provides users graphs, charts and statistics on personal progress. However, this isn't just a personal tool; members can share their page with employees, friends or family members. Creating a support system encourages accountability and motivates users to achieve their health goals, while sharing successes with supporters.

Offering a health and fitness plan to employees can be a complicated process and maintaining fitness goals can be a challenge if employees are too busy to follow through with their goals. However, online access to an accountability program is ideal for fast-paced lifestyles and small businesses. Making the decision to set health and fitness goals is a commitment that is shown to benefit users in their personal and professional lives. For more information, visit www.wellsite.com.
