Abstract

Chronic disease is a burden to patients and healthcare systems around the world, compromising patient welfare and creating exorbitant costs. Lifestyle interventions such as self-management to support appropriate nutrition and exercise can effectively prevent, manage, and cure various chronic diseases. However, patients struggle to incorporate proper nutrition and exercise regimens in their daily lives; one in four adults do not meet the World Health Organization’s physical activity guidelines, and global rates of obesity have tripled in the past 30 years. As a result, rates of chronic disease and related complications are on the rise. Simultaneously, the fitness industry has experienced paralleled growth. The global expansion of health clubs and gyms has produced 50% growth in revenue over the last decade. In 2018, the Global Wellness Institute estimated the physical activity economy to be worth 828 billion US dollars, with projections for continued growth. Nutrition and exercise professionals are becoming liaisons between formal healthcare recommendations and patients in need of lifestyle interventions. This chapter will describe the context of fitness facilities, explain the rationale for self-management in the industry, and assist fitness professionals to facilitate improved health behaviors.
