The United States spends $2.7 trillion yearly on health care expenses. Of that quantity, 86 percent is invested in individuals with chronic and mental health conditions, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. By nearly anyone’s requirements, that number is tragic. By the fitness market requirements, that number is an embarrassment. Why aren’t we as a market doing more to make a damage in this? Specifically when this figure shows that there is remarkable opportunity for our industry in this 86 percent.Perhaps it’s since working with people who have chronic conditions can be tough. It’s a lot easier to deal with athletes or the currently fit or those who are simply requiring to drop a couple of pounds. It takes more training and education to work with somebody who has diabetes, has actually had joint replacements, experiences persistent cardiovascular disease or is an elderly person with movement issues. Besides, where would you get the training to deal with these populations?I understand where: the Medical Fitness Trip. And this year, the Club Market Program has actually co-located with the Medical Physical Fitness Trip, a two-day event(comprised of 11 academic sessions)on Oct. 25-26 in Hair Salon A5 at the Hilton Chicago. (The Club Industry Show starts one day previously, running Oct. 24-26 at the Hilton Chicago. )Subjects for the Medical Fitness Tour sessions range from active aging, CVD, genomics, joint replacement, marijuana for healing, and how to grow a business in this area.
