South Kingstown, RI -- September 6, 2013. Pro-Change, an internationally-recognized behavior change company and Cooper Consulting Partners, a health management consultancy, part of Cooper Aerobics, has announced a partnership that will further empower businesses and their employees to make healthy changes for good.
Through the agreement, Pro-Change's Health Risk Intervention will be incorporated into Cooper Consulting Partners Leading a Fit Life program, allowing participants to receive individualized guidance and tips to make lasting change to their health. "The partnership with Pro-Change is a natural fit," says David Atkinson, Partner for Cooper Consulting Partners. "Pro-Change's behavior change assessment is based on extensive scientific research and evaluates readiness and how an individual can make changes. The Leading a Fit Life program develops a personal action plan for the participant to put those healthier behaviors into practice."
Cooper Consulting Partner's Leading a Fit Life program is an eight-week interactive program that offers employees and their spouses the opportunity to use fitness, nutrition and stress management tools to improve health and productivity which ultimately helps to control health care cost trends.
Research has shown that up to 80 percent of people are not ready to go to action right away. "Going to action is something most people have to work up to and not everyone moves at the same pace," says Janice M. Prochaska, PhD, President and CEO of Pro-Change. "Our Health Risk Intervention is based on science and has been shown to be effective in real-life situations. It is designed to meet those individuals participating in the Leading a Fit Life program where they are in the change process."
