This 6-month workplace fitness program achieved 98% adherence by using contracting, competition, monitoring, and social support. The model significantly improved exercise consistency for university employees.

Area of Science:

  • Workplace health promotion
  • Behavioral science in exercise programs

Background:

  • High dropout rates are a major challenge for worksite exercise initiatives.
  • Effective strategies are needed to improve participant adherence in fitness programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a 6-month program model designed to maximize adherence in worksite fitness programs.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of specific adherence-enhancing procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A 6-month program with 15 one-hour meetings.
  • Participants exercised independently four times weekly.
  • Adherence strategies included contracting, group competition, monitoring, and social support.

Main Results:

  • The program was implemented nine times with 159 university employees.
