The cost benefits of exercise programming is astounding; for every $1 that is spent on exercise programming and preventative health programs, studies show that between $8-$13 dollars can be saved in health related costs! Consider that saving the cost of one hip replacement surgery and rehabilitation can pay for 2 years of exercise programming in your facility. You can't afford not to have professional fitness classes offered for your residents, and try to avoid costly and painful accidents and injuries that steal precious active years from our adult lives. |
So, what does CK Fitness, Inc. have to offer? CK Fitness, Inc. has been a driving force in the commitment to improve the quality of life and the independent longevity of our seniors. Older adults are not naive to the fact that the improvement in their quality of life is a direct result of staying active and being involved in an exercise program. The media has supported this through numerous reports of these same studies. Cindy Kozacek has designed a variety of safe and effective exercise classes to perfectly compliment her mission and desire to profoundly make a difference in the lives of seniors.
