Fitness
A Brief Overview:

Fitness covers a broad spectrum of activities that can range from simply going for a walk to athletic competition at the Olympic level and everything in between.

Fitness programs exist in an organized manner in public areas such as the school system or organized by municipal parks & recreation departments.

There are private operators of fitness/health clubs and a wide range of corporations who have also entered the structured physical workout environment. Recent government studies have shown that while most everyone would like to be active and physically fit, that over 50% of Canadaıs population (including children) would be classified as deconditioned or out-of-shape.

These studies have also shown that even a moderate amount of activity a couple of times per week can result in a measurable increase in your state of health. The challenge for the entire fitness industry in todayıs increasing sedentary society is to offer people ways of staying healthy and active in the time available.
