Will Obama pay for your fitness classes?

September 9, 2009

The Personal Health Investment Today (PHIT) Act of 2009 is posed to help improve the health of Americans by providing financial incentives to invest in disease prevention and physical fitness activities. If the PHIT Act passes, taxpayers would be allowed to place up to $2,000 (for families; $1,000 for individuals) in a pre-tax medical account similar to a Health Savings Account (HSA). In the end, this bill is an effort to reduce government spending on health care.

Covered expenses include:

* Youth camp & physical activity fees
* Membership and dues in a health club
* Exercise/fitness classes or instruction (personal trainer)
* Sports league fees (adult and youth)
* Marathon/Triathlon registration fees
* Equipment used exclusively for participation in physical exercise/activities

Excluded expenses include:

* Expenses incurred from private clubs owned and operated by members
* Clubs offering golf, hunting, sailing and horseback riding activities
* Apparel and footwear not used exclusively for physical activity
* Travel and accommodation expenses associated with participation in physical activity

Thats exactly what we American hard working people need…a little break and an incentive to seek out a healthy lifestyle.

Lets get fit together. And enjoy a break for once.

Regards,

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
