City of Frederick Provides Corporate Fitness Membership Program to Reduce Employer Healthcare Costs & Promote A Healthy Workforce

The Corporate Membership program is available to all City businesses and provides discounted memberships to employees. Businesses can cover the costs of membership for their employees or pass along the savings. 

Wellness Programs Support Lower Healthcare Costs

Implementing a wellness program, including access to a gym or fitness facility, reduces healthcare costs for employers and demonstrates an investment in an organization's workforce.  According to a Kaiser Family Health study, large firms offering wellness programs reduced employer healthcare costs by $3.27 for each dollar spent on the wellness program.  Additionally, an article published in the Health Affairs Journal indicates that organizations with health promotion programs experienced an overall reduction of approximately 25% in sick leave, health plan costs, and workers compensation and disability costs.
