A total of 150 Intel employees participated in the program, of which 75 served as the control group by participating only in the company's existing Take Care wellness program. The remaining 75 employees took part in both the Take Care program and the Core Performance program.
As part of the Core Performance program, participants trained three times per week on the CPro™ strength and cardio equipment in conjunction with personal training at the Intel Chandler Digital Fitness Center (CDFC). This group also had access to one-on-one nutrition consultations.
Mark Verstegen and his team at Core Performance may be best known for training elite athletes, but what they can do for executives is unmatched. The integrated program, world-class team, and thorough follow-up are perfect for executives to maintain energy and achieve their performance goals.
