06 Sep Health is Wealth

These days we are more conscious about our health and when making lifestyle decisions we tend to be more aware of the benefits or the impacts of that decision on our health. We can see this with the number of gyms opening around us, the number of ads relating to better health, tracking apps on our phones or wrists and in general conversation.

Not long ago health wasn’t even on the agenda, there were only ‘bodybuilding’ gyms where you had to look like Arnie to join, but now the gym scene has revolutionised with many different concepts i.e Crossfit, F45 and the likes.

So what’s changed? Well, when I think back to the days when I was growing up, I would be playing on the streets until the street lights came on, I would be running around our 1000sqm backyard, I would walk to the local shops or ride my bike until I was called in by my parents. When you were called in, you would be so upset and couldn’t wait to wake up and do it all again the next day.

When you compare that to what I do today, I drive to the local shops, catch a bus to work and hardly get 10,000 steps into my day, however, I rely on going to the gym for 1 hour to get my activity for the day up. I guess this is the way of the times and as a society, we have come to accept this. Now, the gym is a place to go and have ‘me time’ for one hour while working up a sweat. The gym has become a social environment as you meet like-minded people at the gym. It has become a status – telling your friends you do F45 has become cool, but more importantly, the gyms have become results focused and they now provide specifically choreographed classes to get the best out of you.

Given that health is now a priority for most people and most of us are doing some sort of activity to maintain a healthy lifestyle, why not get rewarded for that activity. We have a program that will reward you the more active you are. To motivate your healthy lifestyle, you can receive up to 50% off gym membership fees, 50% off flights and shopping vouchers. How does it work? It basically links to your health tracking device i.e your phone and based on your activity level and if you hit certain milestones you will qualify for shopping vouchers or 50% of your next flight. As mentioned before you will also receive 50% off selected gym memberships.

I know this is a great way to stay motivated to lead an active lifestyle and now is the time to get working on your summer body. Let me know if you would like to know more about this great offer and see how it can benefit you.
