CRITICAL PROBLEM

The USA is losing the “War on the Obesity Epidemic!” Due to his hard work, dedication and accomplishments in the fitness, health and nutrition industry, Jim Bell, PhD was appointed by Florida Governor Jeb Bush to the “Governor’s Task Force on the Obesity Epidemic.” After much time, effort and energy on the Task Force, Dr. Bell came to the conclusion that it will be extremely difficult for any government intervention to have much impact on this crisis. Likewise, after decades of lecturing to the Health Club Industry it is unlikely that Health Clubs will have much impact on this crisis.

Dr. Bell came to the conclusion that only by working through you, the Doctor, can any headway be made on saving our people – your patients – from the ravages of this epidemic. You, working with the IFPA to develop your own successful Doctor’s Fitness Center, can save lives, improve lives, increase health, fitness and longevity for all your patients.

DETERMINATION

Government and health clubs are ill-prepared to stem the obesity epidemic. 

SITUATION

People need to exercise, improve nutrition, lower stress, stop smoking, limit drinking and stop recreational drug use.

COST

The citizens of the U.S.A. now spend over $2 trillon per year in medical and health care costs. 80% is a result of lifestyle choices. People want a long, healthy life, but don’t do anything to make it happen. Aging and longevity models show lifestyle has a tremendous impact on aging, health and longevity. You and your Doctor’s Fitness Center can dramatically reduce these costs.

SOLUTION

Doctor's Fitness Centers 

ACTION

Preventative Medical Intervention: Doctors use their power to “prescribe” exercise, nutrition and lifestyle changes for their patients’ well being.

STRATEGY

Doctor’s Fitness Centers is a “turn-key” fitness and wellness business to maximize your patients’ health and your bottom line, profits. Doctor’s Fitness Centers enable you to dramatically increase profitability, with no more effort to you than writing a prescription. Doctor’s Fitness Centers incorporate the Chinese Medical Strategy where the Doctor gets paid for KEEPING the patient healthy!

TEAM APPROACH

The Doctor is the COACH! The patient is the PLAYER. The Doctor coaches the PLAYER to health by prescribing exercise, food planning and/or supplements, as needed.

The Doctor is the HEAD COACH, the Doctor’s assistant coaching staff implements the prescription. 

THE PLAYBOOK

The IFPA will bring you the equipment, management, fitness and nutrition systems, training and certification programs and on-going support to give you a turn-key Fitness, Health and Nutrition Wellness Center.

MANAGEMENT

The IFPA has developed the industry’s first, Fitness Facility Manager (FFM) Certification, an extensive training program that will teach your managers everything they need to know to run a first class wellness center.
