Core Performance Proves that Measurable Results Can Be Achieved in Corporate Wellness

Norwell, Mass., and Phoenix, Ariz. - With healthcare costs rising rapidly, corporate wellness is becoming an area of strategic focus for corporations throughout the United States. Core Performance, the global thought leader in proactive wellness, has developed a suite of cutting- edge corporate wellness solutions that have helped companies like Intel Corporation engage their employees in a meaningful way and quantify their results.

Most recently, Core Performance presented the results of the Intel study at the Experimental Biology Conference in Washington, D.C. Over a 14 week period, the 75 participants (two-thirds of whom were non-movers prior to the program) in the study worked out three times per week with proprietary Core Performance equipment and completed a personalized Core Performance nutrition plan. The results were staggering, as the average employee participating in the Core Performance program saw:

• A 6.03 percent decrease in body fat percentage
• Cholesterol reduction averaging 5.37 percentAverage fat loss of 14 pounds
• Functional movement improvement of 23 percent (flexibility and agility)
• A 19.6 percent increase in VO2 capacity (measure of cardiovascular health and fitness)
• A 30 percent overall reduction in the number of individuals categorized as "at risk" based on their lipid profile

 
This data allows companies like Intel to better quantify the impact a comprehensive wellness program has on a sample employee population. The study also indicates that a comprehensive exercise and nutrition program that uses “smart” exercise equipment working in tandem with an existing wellness program delivers significantly higher success rates for employee health markers over a standalone wellness program.

"At Core Performance, we engage employees from all walks of life, so everyone from weekend warriors to non-movers benefit from the simple, actionable strategies we apply to everyday life," said Core Performance Executive Vice President John Golden.
