What healthclub/fitness center should one join in the Bellevue Washington area?

We are considering a move to the Seattle/Bellevue, Washington area. We are currently Lifetime Fitness Center members and are looking for a club that offers the same amenities. I see “24 Hour Fitness” but was wondering if that was the best fit.

How can I get my work to start an employee wellness program?

I've heard that large corporations let their workers participate in employee wellness programs, and I'd like the same kind of thing at my work. How can I convince them to do this? Are there companies that help you start an employee wellness program? What are the typical costs?

we've had a program like that at our work for the last 6 months, its working out pretty well as far as i can tell. i am a part of the committee that started it up since i used to be a personal trainer. id suggest gathering as much research as possible and talking to your coworkers about it so you have more people interested. the cost depends on alot of stuff, you just have to figure it out. but the thing is that it can save a company money in the long run (and your bosses will like that part!) by lowering people calling in sick, increasing productivity and increasing morale. it is an investment that pays off. good luck!
