Proposal
I am investigating how to build a successful fitness and social program for long-term physical and emotional stability for seniors’ overall health in Windsor-Essex County. By analyzing Windsor-Essex County fitness and social programs using the demographics of seniors ages 50+, I compared each program based on financial cost, a number of days the program offers, a variety of the program, group size per class, social-emotional aspects. I interviewed ten female and ten males from each program to get their personal feedback. As a result of this research, I was able to better understand what is currently being offered and what can still be improved in senior fitness and social programs. Business Pitch: Based off my research, I have created a start-up program called WE get ACTIVE. The main objective is to offer a financially affordable fitness program to seniors. The program is designed to get seniors active. By creating a welcoming environment, seniors can take part in a group activity that not only improves their physical health but also their emotional health. The program will launch May 1stat the Holiday Inn on Huron Church road with the first class being an aqua fit and coffee social. The test run will continue for six weeks.
