Employers: Spend a little, save a lot!

As an employer, your people are your greatest asset. But did you know that employee absenteeism costs Canadian businesses millions each year? According to Statistics Canada, employees in the private sector lost an average of 9.3 days per worker in 2024 due to illness or injury. That’s nearly two work weeks of productivity, per employee, gone.

The good news? There’s a proven, cost-effective way to reduce absenteeism, boost morale, and create a healthier workplace: employer-sponsored personal training.

Research shows that vigorous physical activity at least three times per week, as recommended by the CDC and ACSM, can significantly reduce sick leave (source). That’s where 46 64 Fitness comes in. We provide personalized, online coaching that employees can access anytime, anywhere — making it easier than ever to fit health into busy schedules.

Are you an employer? Spend a little and save a lot by paying for your employee’s online fitness program.

Are you an employee? Here are five highlights employees can use to advocate for their companies to offer this benefit:

1. Reduced Absenteeism

Healthier employees mean fewer sick days. By investing in online training, employers can reduce time lost to illness and injury. Even cutting the average by just a few days per employee adds up to significant savings in productivity.

2. Increased Energy & Productivity

Exercise doesn’t just improve physical health — it sharpens focus, lifts mood, and reduces fatigue. A team with more energy gets more done in less time, with better results.

3. Cost Savings for Employers

Online training through 46 64 Fitness comes at a fraction of the cost of in-person programs. Employers may also qualify for discounted group rates, making this an affordable perk that delivers a high return on investment.

4. Improved Morale & Retention

Providing access to personal training shows employees their employer cares about their wellbeing. This investment builds loyalty, reduces turnover, and strengthens company culture.

5. Convenient, Personalized Support

Our programs are designed to meet employees where they are — whether they’re new to fitness, managing health concerns, or looking to build strength. With a personalized plan, video demonstrations, and direct chat support, employees get the guidance they need to succeed.

The Bottom Line

When employers invest in their team’s health through online personal training, everyone wins. Employees feel stronger, more resilient, and supported — and employers benefit from fewer sick days, higher productivity, and a happier workforce.
