Fitness Study: Save 33.6% on Your Health Care Costs?

FitnessstudysavemoneyonhealthcarecoInterested in keeping more money in your pockets each month while increasing your health?

Over 3,249 people participated in a recently completed "Fit Choices" study done by Medica. They were asked to exercise at least 8 days per month, or about 2x per week.

After approximately 2 years in the program participants saw a 33.6% decrease on their average claim costs on a per-member per month basis.

So not only are these members making a smart decision to increase their quality of life through healthy nutrition and exercise choices they are saving money at the same time.

It looks like that gym membership or home exercise equipment may just pay for itself after all…
