What does your daily or weekly fitness regimen consist of?
Weekly Volleyball Match
Playing with kids (6 year old and twin 4 year olds – all boys)
Staionary bike – 1 – 2 times per week
What fitness clubs do you belong to, if any?
None
Other than the obvious health benefits, how has being fit improved your life?
Ability to play with my kids as well as perform a lot of DIY work around the house over the years.
How does personal fitness affect your work life?
I look the part as owner of a bicycle business. My goal is to get boomers back on bikes and if I look good doing it, they may be more likely to give it a try.
Do you have a corporate health or wellness initiative?
No
What health/wellness organizations do you contract with, if any?
None
How does fitness or wellness affect your overall organization?
Health is the most important thing we have. We don’t typically appreciate it fully until it is compromised. Missing a key player in a business can certainly have a negative impact, especially in a small business like ours. I have more energy and am more creative when I have been paying attention to my health.
What advice do you have for other executives interested in starting either a personal fitness plan or corporate wellness initiative?
You are what you eat right? Your business is made up of employees. Fit and healthy employees translates into a fit and healthy business.
