Summary: Performance Food Centers congratulates Phys-Ed Health and Performance for offering a new, innovative rewarding system to their club members, with the end goal of providing total fitness through education programs as it relates to their exercise and nutrition goals.
Pottstown, PA January 26, 2011: Phys-Ed Health and Performance is a 22,000 sq. foot full service fitness facility located in New Milford, Connecticut. They opened their doors on December 13, 2010 and, with very little advertising, they have over 220 members and this number is growing very quickly. The reason for their success is that they are focused on health, well-being and fitness education for their members. Eric Corson, owner of Phys-Ed explains their focus, “The whole concept of Phys-Ed is to give our membership base a comfortable, friendly place to work out. At the same time, I wanted to design a system of rewarding members for participating in our fitness programs.”
To reward their members, Corson created a point system; one that resembles credits earned at a University. The only difference is that instead of getting an academic degree, at Phys-Ed University, you attain total fitness and wellness. The point system is simple; they reward their members for attending the educational lectures, demos and guest speaker seminars they provide. Each program carries a certain amount of Phys-Education credits that can be applied towards a degree from Phys-Ed University. As the member matriculates through their program they receive Phys-Funds, their in-house currency, that can be used for everything in the facility, except the monthly tuition. Corson mentions, “It is a way for saying thanks and gives a little more incentive to take a cooking class or sit in on a lecture about shoulder instability.”
Education is what they are all about. In fact, when they were looking to add a nutritional program that featured education on nutrition, while providing healthy whole-food products, they found Performance Food Centers (PFC). Corson mentions, “I have known about PFC for several years now, from my first sample of Peanut Butter Cup at an IHRSA convention many years ago to working for a club that had a PFC Juice Bar.” Impressed with the quality of their product and the nutritional education, Corson adds, “The whole foods nutrition offered by PFC really works well with our philosophy of health and education.”
Partnering with PFC proves to be a good decision as Corson mentions,
“PFC offers quality products that taste good and offer our members a much healthier alternative to getting the egg/bacon/coffee combo down the road. Throw in that fact that the owner shows up to teach and motivate my staff and offers an educational avenue to learn from. That is a nice touch.” He continues, “The staff of PFC has been fantastic to work with as well, from Chris Murphy at the start to design with Ryan Kehl, it has been a pleasure.” Corson concludes, “I am confident that offering PFC to my members was a wise decision and that the members will learn that you really can get a healthy, nutrient dense meal in a cup. Whether that is a pre-workout pick-me-up or a post workout recovery shake, it is all good!”
Dan Young, owner of PFC, along with the Juice Bar Consultants and Juice Bar Designers at Performance Food Centers congratulates Phys-Ed Health and Performance on their opening and are very happy to be working with them to help their members attain the highest degree of total fitness and wellness.
