Advocate Fitness
Better Health for Better Lives

A healthy, productive future begins with setting the wheels in motion today. When you give employees access to fitness, you give them the key to better overall health: physically, psychologically and professionally. A fitness facility and programs not only contribute to health and wellness, but also to improved productivity and lower health care costs.

But it takes more than exercise equipment or classes to bring about lasting lifestyle changes. That's why organizations that are committed to their employees' health turn to Advocate Fitness, a recognized leader in the health and fitness industry. We work with you to develop the fitness programs and facilities that will assist your employees in safely and effectively improving their health. Our fitness programs are designed to support healthy, active lifestyles, integrate with medical practices, lower costs, and reduce absences due to preventable illness and injuries.

Quality
Advocate Fitness has earned a solid reputation for high quality, award winning fitness facilities, program development and management services. We develop medically oriented fitness facilities that result in motivational, safe and effective exercise programs to educate customers about leading healthy, active lifestyles and reducing risk factors for disease and injury. Advocate Fitness conducts industry benchmarking, institutes continuous quality improvements and performs client-driven outcome measurements.

Medical Model
We use the "Medical Model" approach in all of our fitness programs. That means we apply principles and guidelines from the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) to facility management and the development of personalized exercise and health programs. All customers are screened, tested, and counseled prior to developing individualized exercise prescriptions. Our Medical Model integrates fitness, lifestyle and behavior management with medical practices.

Expert Team
We operate under the supervision and guidance of a board-certified physician as medical director, and our experienced staff consists of ACSM certified and master degreed exercise physiologists and ACSM certified exercise specialists. We adhere to the most stringent staff qualification requirements in the industry and also require staff members to participate in continuing education.
