We’re Making “sit” a four-letter-word™
We design and build active workplaces, to meet all daily physical activity needs at work. Our proprietary methods create ecosystems where people can fulfill their job duties while having private micro-facilities to quietly engage in moderate amounts of periodic physical exertion. Our designs integrate our proprietary exertion equipment and creative principles. Created for men and women of all ages and activity levels. The result? Maximum health. Maximum worker output. Minimum health insurance claims.

Our Health Plans Pay You
You wouldn’t put an Atari chip in your Smart Phone . . . and you wouldn’t stick your old health plan on a Physico Designed office. Comedian George Carlin once asked, “why do we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway?” We wanna know why they call them “health" plans when they only pay when we’re sick? Shouldn’t those be called “sick" plans? Physico Health Plans pay you every month for being healthy. We’ve got real “health” plans!
We have customized self-funded health plans designed to integrate with our office ecosystems and Daily MEDAL™ game App. All plans come with stop-loss to reduce total exposure and allow us to design customized plan coverage, deductibles, co-insurance, co-pays, physician networks to suit your company culture. All our plans have MEDAL reward points baked in. You’ll have total control of your health plan. Only like-minded, “All-In, All-Out,” Physico client companies will be a part of this pool making it the healthiest large group pool ever.

Which job types tend to have the healthiest workers? People who wait on tables; construction workers; orchestra conductors; selling women’s shoes. Ask why! Because they move around a lot, and reach, and bend, and crouch, and carry . . . AKA Exertion. We are built with the following scientifically established premises in mind.
75% of all health care spending is due to lifestyle choices. Sitting is the new smoking and most sitting occurs at the office. You will never improve health, productivity, nor control health claims spending if you continue to work in the same sedentary environment. While sauntering and standing desks are a good “step” in the right direction, they won’t move the needle like you want. Physico will. If your company uses our MEDAL program, your employees will reduce lifestyle health risk factors, feel better and be awesome workers.

If you want to attract and retain the best personnel, it starts with the look, feel and features of your brick-n-mortar. Here’s how to measure success:

Several years ago our president, Keith Jordan, found himself working the Christmas Holiday Season at Nordstrom selling women’s shoes. Apparently, he never loses or gains any weight. At the ripe old age of _ _ (take a guess) he’s the same weight he was at 22. While he does kind of rub our noses in it, it is germane to our story. Keith has this daily obsession with hopping on the scale to check his weight even though it never changes by more than a pound or two. While working at Nordstrom, he noticed his weight was dropping. He thought something was wrong. He wasn’t working out because there was no time, and he was eating hearty food from nearby food carts (burritos, Korean barbeque. . .) So why was he losing weight? After dismissing all sorts of dreaded diseases, he had it figured out. He was on his feet all the time and bending, lifting, carrying, going up and down stairs. Frequent movement. He lost 12 pounds in a few weeks. That’s significant for someone that’s pretty thin to begin with. We all know the last few pounds are the hardest to lose.
The idea was born. Physico will transfer key aspects of a movement ridden work environment to an office environment and build an integrated self-reinforcing reward system. He researched the heck out of it. It didn’t hurt that he’s an ex-college athlete who has been creating gym and track workouts for people for over 25 years and coaching sports teams in his free time. It also didn’t hurt that he’s been working with startups in the group health plan, predictive health analytics space and has his finger on the pulse of current wellness trends and limitations.

Size: Usually 20,000 sqft projects or more*
We work with client-companies that have an “ALL-IN” culture of commitment. You want to set your work environment apart and your employees want to go “ALL-OUT” in their commitment to living a healthy life-style. You don’t tolerate half-measures and fully embrace an actual solution. You want to be a part of a health plan pool made up entirely of other companies who also subscribe to the Physico “ALL-IN, ALL-OUT” philosophy.
*We will entertain smaller projects on a case-by-case basis.

Just in case, here’s what the smartest people in their respective rooms have to say about the problem Physico is solving and our approach . . .
-
This is an interesting story that NPR ran about what happens to us when we sit too much, and this is just about the sitting in cars. What do you think is happening to the human body sitting at work for 8-12 hours, day after day? -
Wanna know why sitting is the new smoking and why standing in one spot isn't much better? Listen to his Forum interview with our nation's leading experts on the subject. -
HIT is a hit! FYI, HIT stands for high intensity training. The research is clear. The verdict is in. Through short duration exercise, we can get the same, and sometimes better, health benefits as those who are long distance runners. -
The experts say it is good to mix it up. Sit a little, stand a little, move a lot. This article, from the Wall Street Journal, is preaching to our choir.
