RALEIGH, NC, August 31, 2012 (Press-News.org) Rapid Fitness (http://www.rapidfitness.com), the Triangle's leading gym and fitness center, has announced that it is now offering corporate wellness accounts to businesses across the Triangle in an effort to help companies save money by promoting health and fitness to its employees. For companies that provide health benefits to its employees, having a corporate wellness account can help reduce the costs of health insurance premiums as most are based on body mass index, health risks and health habits by offering access to an exercise and fitness center.
To counteract unhealthy habits, the government accepts gym memberships and personal training as preventative medicine and dues can be tax deductible. Companies can be eligible to receive rebates from their health insurance provider for having employees who stay fit. With a corporate wellness account, employees can speak with one of Rapid Fitness' trainers to designate specific fitness regimens for each employee to help them stay focused on achieving their goals. Rapid Fitness offers personal training, a wide selection of fitness classes and the latest equipment for members' use. With three Raleigh fitness centers and a childcare program at each location, employees can easily fit workouts around their schedule.
