RATON, FL (May 7, 2013) -- Broken Sound Club -- a 5-Star Platinum Club of
America -- has been named as a finalist for the South Florida Business
Journal’s (SFBJ) 2013 Healthiest Employers Award. The recognition comes within weeks
of the Club being named one of “America’s Healthiest Clubs”, scoring the
highest overall private club rating in the nation to date in the nationwide
competition by the club industry’s premier wellness expert Prevo Health Solutions,
and being named a Distinguished Emerald Club by Boardroom Magazine.
Presented
by Florida Blue, the SFBJ’s award
program recognizes companies in the tri-county area that incorporate healthy
practices in their workplaces. Award
winners will be announced at a luncheon on June 6th at the Hyatt Regency Pier Sixty-Six, 2301 S.E. 17th St. Causeway in Fort
Lauderdale.
Broken
Sound Club, which opened a new freestanding, fully staffed 38,000-square-foot
spa and fitness center last month, has 400 employees. It is one of five
finalists in the 100-499 employees category along with After Hours Pediatrics, City
of Tamarac, Gunster and Weatherby Healthcare.
When
the “America’s Healthiest Clubs” recognition was announced last month by Prevo
Health Solutions -- experts in workplace wellness and member recruitment and
retention -- its founder and president Rick Ladendorf noted that a “singular stand out” Prevo’s evaluation team observed and recognized as what sets
Broken Sound apart from other clubs nationwide is the Club’s use of a
third-party, online, incentive-based Wellness Program. The program tracks and
manages employee participation in activities, education, challenges and, most
importantly, it encourages everyone to achieve their fitness goals, all while
at work.
“So
far, Broken Sound is the only club in the nation we have evaluated that has
licensed a third-party wellness platform to maximize employee engagement and
participation,” reported Ladendorf. Broken Sound employees begin by taking an
online Health Risk Assessment that is followed by a prescriptive, personal and
integrated program that includes a daily to-do list, meal plans, fitness
programs and an integrated health coaching module.
The
recognition was awarded by Prevo Health Solutions, the executive producer of
“America’s Healthiest Clubs”, the club industry’s only wellness rating system
and recognition for a healthy environment achieved via a distinguished
third-party validation. Its mission is to improve the overall health of the
private club industry through education and sharing of best practices. The
Prevo team consists of health professionals, certified nutrition and fitness
experts, workplace wellness gurus and engagement specialists who know how to
inspire and engage people to eat wise and exercise.
“We
at Broken Sound Club pride ourselves in being trailblazers in the club industry
on many levels, with a significant priority on building a healthy staff and
environment,” said John Crean, CCE, the Club's General Manager and Chief Operating
Officer. “We are honored to be recognized by Florida Blue and South Florida
Business Journal, knowing their evaluation process is a serious assessment that
identifies Broken Sound as a leading employer in demonstrating the core values
of health and wellness, the key factors in maintaining an energized team for
delivering exemplary member service.”
Crean
noted that the Grand Opening of the new 38,000-square-foot spa and fitness
facility this April has been met with overwhelming positivity and rave reviews
by both club members and the community. Named “Moonstone”, the spa was
conceptualized by Peacock + Lewis Architects, constructed by The Weitz Company,
and treatment concepts and protocols, product selection, and operational
fluidity created by American Leisure that has developed and managed spa
programs for the Spa at Fisher Island, Spa at Williams Island in North Miami,
The Spa at the landmark Plaza Athenee, NYC and Setai Club & Spa, Wall
Street.
To
offer a diverse menu of services and treatments, American Leisure has created
signature massages, facials and wraps using cutting-edge esthetics equipment
for women as well as a special “men’s only” spa treatment and services menu
that includes traditional barber service and manicure and pedicure options. For
women, there is a salon with stylist, a hair blow dry bar and manicure and
pedicure treatments. Also featured is the Blend Bar Mix Station, where every
guest can design and create their own exfoliating Body Scrub and Whipped Body
Crème using all natural, vitamin-rich grape seed oil-based ingredients and high
quality aroma oils for the ultimate handcrafted body product. A choice of six
aromas is available at the Blend Bar, including the signature Broken Sound Silk
made with Lemongrass and Eucalyptus.
Just
outside the door of the spa is the members’ new fitness center that offers the
latest in fitness equipment, scheduled aerobics classes and by-appointment
private training sessions, a dedicated Pilates area, and a state-of-the art spin room with
interactive video that would rival any area residential community spa.
