As type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and obesity continue to rise among our national adults and children population, the need to find a cost effective way to help people become healthier and lower the cost of health care insurance is more important than ever. This is and has proven to be a major priority for the current and past White House administration.
The best way of getting America back in shape can be accomplished through Functional Training and a Basic nutrition program. Traditional exercise programs have relied heavily upon health clubs and gyms to service the needs of communities. They have had a tremendous impact on the state of health in our country. However, a large segment of the population is still being left out because of the cost of gym membership fees. Functional Training Programs offer ways to reach communities everywhere for a fraction of the cost.
