Make Your Idea Happen: Health & Fitness Business
Of the thousands of submissions in our Make Your Idea Happen Contest, a large number of entrants dream of opening or growing health and fitness businesses. After all, we are a fitness-crazed culture, with people looking for all kinds of ways to work out and stay in shape. But fitness is not just for those who want to lose weight or build muscle tone: Many people seek out yoga and other programs for general wellness. Take a look at these entries that feed the need:
“My dream is facilitating a healthy peace of mind to others, any place or time of day,” writes Barbara D. “As a certified yoga instructor, I would start a yoga-to-go company, driving to anyone nearby who needs to de-stress. Breathing, movement and relaxation unclutter the mind. Taking a break from work leads to a more focused return. De-stress without the drive for ultimate convenience.”
James C.’s idea would help families monitor their own health and employers to help them do so: “The 95210 Family Health Tracker is a simple and easy way for individuals and families to track their daily health that matters the most: sleep, nutrition, screen time, physical activity, sodas and sugary drinks, tobacco exposure, vitamins, walking steps, weight loss and water intake. Our PC and mobile tracking services are customizable for both members and companies with personal goals available for each tracking feature, opportunities for member-to-member challenges, and fully customizable for companies to brand and select team challenges. We also have a built-in employee incentive system to award points and rewards to employees to encourage productivity.”
