At GetFit Wellness we help people lead healthier
lives.
Created by leading dietitians, nutritionists, health psychologists and
fitness experts, our healthy living solutions are founded on sound scientific
evidence and are designed to educate, support and empower individuals
to change their lifestyles.
We understand that the successful adoption of health behaviours takes
more than just being prescribed a diet or exercise programme. Simply knowing
what makes a lifestyle healthier does not make it happen - knowing how
to make a lifestyle healthier is an essential factor for successful change.
GetFit Wellness provides interventions tailored to psychological, social
and environmental circumstances, providing individual blueprints for how
to adopt a healthy lifestyle.
The below illustrates GetFit's unique approach:
Tell me - I forget
Traditional health promotion focuses on the provision of information;
this ignores the multitude of different factors which influence behaviour.
Simply providing information is not enough.
Show me - I remember
Most modern wellness solutions rely on prescriptive programmes, such as
diet plans and static schedule programmes. The details of such programmes
are determined at the start of a programme and are inflexible to changing
circumstances or user desires. These systems are simple to create but
remove the user from the decision making process. Simply providing a checklist
is not enough.
Involve me - I understand
Best practice in health care is to deliver a client-centred intervention
- one which involves the user in the decision making process. By empowering
each user to make decisions about change, a sense of involvement and personal
responsibility is fostered. Creating programmes that give users an understanding
of the day-to-day problems associated with change, and providing appropriate
support when needed, allows the skills for long-term success to be honed
and improved health to be achieved. This is the GetFit Wellness approach.
