The Facts

According to the Department of Labor, American employers lose over
$300 billion dollars of productivity annually due to illness, sick days, absenteeism and sub-par performance.
Fact:
According to the Wellness Council of America, more than
100 million workdays are lost each year just to lower back pain.
Fact:
According to the United Health Foundation (UHF) and American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Report,
the average business/company with 100 employees will statistically have:
- 1 who uses cocaine
- 5 who are being treated for diabetes
- 10 who drink alcohol heavily
- 10 who have high blood pressure
- 10 who have diabetes
- 25 who smoke cigarettes
- 25 who have high cholesterol

So how does your staff compare?
Healthy Employees = Healthy Profits
Every company knows that in order to get the most out of your business, you MUST get the most out of your people. In a nutshell, the healthier your employees are, the more work and better work they can do for you, and the better their quality of life will be. This is what companies and organizations call “corporate wellness.”
More Facts:
Companies with corporate fitness training programs experience an increase in employee productivity and morale while decreasing health care costs.
-
Steelcase Corporation saw medical claims 55 percent lower in employees participating in their corporate fitness program.
-
DuPont measured a 47.5 percent decrease in absenteeism among employees participating in their corporate fitness program.
-
Blue Cross and Blue Shield realized a $2.51 return for each dollar invested in their corporate wellness program.
-
Lincoln Plating Company decreased injuries at its work site more than 50 percent after implementing a wellness program.
-
Safety Supply decreased lost work days by 97 percent because of its wellness program
Unlike the companies listed above, however, most so-called “wellness” programs don’t consist of “fitness training,” but merely health screenings, brochures, and monthly newsletters that employees don’t have time or aren’t willing to read.
Most programs choose to focus only on the awareness, identification, and treatment of chronic health issues such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, etc.
While this is certainly beneficial to the employee, the main problem with this is these issues are ALREADY costing the company thousands of dollars in healthcare costs. Isn’t that what most companies are trying to avoid?
The REAL problem that is being completely overlooked is WHY employees have these conditions in the first place. And we know the answer. According to United Health Foundation,
it’s because most people have a sedentary lifestyle.
The state of Tennessee alone is ranked 46th in the country when it comes to engaging in daily physical activity.
The truth of the matter is, this sedentary lifestyle is crippling America’s workforce (not just Tennessee), and right now it may be crippling your company!
Because of that, we want to help you by getting your workforce up, moving, motivated, and educated, so
we can help you focus on “prevention” instead of “treatment” that could potentially save your company thousands in healthcare costs.

Success Stories:
Don’t just take our word for it, here what other companies AND their employees are raving about…
Employees…
I had a friend at work who asked me to join B.U.S.Y. Body’s Work It Off At Work™ program last November just for one month, so that we could eat whatever we wanted during the holidays. Several months later I’m still enrolled in the program…I workout with Tonya three to four days a week, and
I’ve lost 23 pounds and a lot of inches. The results you get — from the inches to the toning is absolutely amazing. It’s been a total lifestyle change. Tonya is very informative and inspirational. I think she
gave me probably 10 years of my life back. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She really knows her stuff. All you have to do is to attend one class and you'll be hooked.
— Donna S., employee
I've been in B.U.S.Y. Body’s Work It Off At Work™ program since October 2009 and really enjoy every aspect of it.
It’s always something a little different and never boring. I never thought I would be able to do some of the things I can do now — sit-ups, push-ups and running.
I am so much stronger and healthier now. I had my health risk assessment (HRA) done recently and was wondering how much of a difference the exercise would make, and I was very surprised at the results.
I dropped my cholesterol 41 points in 9 months. I have also lost several inches in every area. Our trainer is awesome and really motivates you, and my co-workers are also great. We are all in it together and we motivate and push each other. I finally found something that I really enjoy doing.
This is the first time that I have actually stuck with an exercise program for this long and I plan to stay with it! I highly encourage anyone who is looking for something different, fun and challenging to join. You will not be sorry.
— Kim Polster, employee
I started B.U.S.Y. Body’s Work It Off at Work™ in November 2009, and I weighed 220 pounds.
I had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. After seven months, I now weigh 188 pounds.
I am no longer on blood pressure medicine. I feel better and
I have a lot more energy. I can definitely tell a difference. Our personal trainer, Tonya Ransom, is an excellent motivator. On my first assessment, I could only do 38 push-ups in a minute, 36 sit-ups, and I walked a mile in 11 minutes and 58 seconds. Now, I can do 74 push-ups in a minute, 72 sit-ups in a minute, and I can run a mile in 6 minutes and 57 seconds.
This program has improved my quality of life by helping me get back in shape. I would recommend this program to anyone who is willing to work hard to feel better.
— Mark Shelton, employee
About a year and a half ago, I started Weight Watchers. Then shortly thereafter, I started walking a half mile. It about killed me. Then months later I started at a gym, working out on equipment, had numerous trainers and all different classes like aerobics, water aerobics and yoga. Plus doing all different tapes and on demand at home while I was still going to Weight Watchers…Then the best thing happened — along came B.U.S.Y. Body Work It Off at Work™ with Tonya Ransom…I thought how lucky can you get? A personal trainer who is a taekwondo expert, a nutritionist and
someone who really cares about your form and helping you understand it’s about life change. Best yet, the cost was very minimum. Then finally in November, afternoon classes started and I was thrilled. Tonya pushes me harder than I could ever imagine.
I have muscle toning now like never before. Awesome. I’ll give you a challenge: just try it for one week. I promise you will keep coming back and feel better than ever.
— Dawn Bankston, employee
My
experience with B.U.S.Y. Body Work It Off at Work™ has been great. I was very hesitant about joining, but found a very helpful and encouraging atmosphere. As a result,
I’ve lost 17 pounds.
— Emanuel Burrell, employee
If you want results, you are going to have to work for it, but you have
strong support and guidance from Tonya Ransom. Dynamite comes in small packages, and this woman is absolutely explosive. She pushes you and she doesn't let up. She makes you want to perform to your maximum ability. She also keeps things interesting.
We work out three times a week and it is something different each time. Once you get started you don't think about how long it's going to take, because you are concentrating on form and repetition, and maybe a little prayer here and there. When you're done, you're tired! Very tired! Yet,
you feel much better than you did when you came in.
— Lonnie Hawkins, employee
Since joining the B.U.S.Y. Body Work It Off at Work™ program, I have not only lost weight, but
I have also improved my overall health in terms of high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Joining this program was the best lifestyle change I made for myself. I knew that exercise was important to a healthy lifestyle, so I decided to try out Tonya Ransom's program. After the first class, I noticed a change in my overall energy level. Not only did my energy level change, I lost pounds in the first class as well.
Tonya is an excellent motivator and allows each of us to perform at our own level because she realizes that we are all of different stages of fitness. She encourages us to push our workouts to the next level and perform the best way possible. Even though our workouts are group settings, it's like having a personal trainer, because Tonya gives a lot of personal attention, instruction and motivation to each member of the class. It has been so gratifying to see the results and the change in my body in regards to reaching my own personal goals. And
I feel good about myself knowing that I am taking care of my body. I would highly encourage anyone who wants to improve their overall fitness level, decrease body fat, gain strength, lose weight and increase their energy level to enroll in the Work It Off at Work™ program.
— Tony Dixon, employee
I did it! I finished a 5K! Before I started B.U.S.Y. Body’s Work It Off at Work™ Boot program in October of last year, I would have never even considered running a 5K. But, after working out with Tonya Ransom for several months, I began to believe I could do it.
I am stronger and have more endurance than ever before. I am drinking a lot more water and eating in moderation.
I have lost some weight…and replaced fat with muscle. So, with hard work and guidance from Tonya, I was able to accomplish one goal and have set my next one – to beat my time in the 5K4UW this October!
