Additional Corporate Wellness Resources

Living Corporate Wellness

U.S. employees spend an average of 50 hours a week at work and eat about one-third of their meals there as well. Work is a source of pride, defines our career, and is responsible for many influences on lifestyle.  As an owner, HR director, or wellness committee chair you can positively impact the lifestyles of your employees, creating more productive and satisfied workers... and Fleet Feet Fox Valley can help.

The Facts...
The 2008 CDC Health Insurance survey showed that 36% of all adults were considered totally inactive.  37% of all adults were at a healthy weight, 35% were overweight, and 27% were obese with obesity percentages even higher in the Midwest and South.  Obesity and high BMI have been directly linked to numerous diseases including cancer, heart disease, and diabetes which all result in higher healthcare costs to employer and employee.

How Fleet Feet Fox Valley can Help
Our mission is to promote active lifestyles in the Fox Valley for walkers, runners, and fitness enthusiasts of all abilities.  By professionally fitting your employees for athletic shoes, inserts, sports bras, or recommending comfortable clothing, we aim to motivate continued fitness.  After all, who wants to walk 30 minutes a day in shoes that hurt and in jeans? 

No Boundaries Beginners 5K
Fleet Feet Fox Valley offers a nationally-recognized, award-winning beginner's 5K Training Program, No Boundaries. The goal is to get you off the couch and completing your first 5K in 6-10 weeks (program length depends upon individual agreements), complete with a detailed training schedule, coach-led workouts, programs for walkers and runners, educational seminars, and a great team of motivators.  Running & walking for exercise is one of the best lifestyle choices you can make, burning upwards of 400 calories an hour.
