From the Paper:

"The medical costs of the Rocky Mountain employees who have used the Fitness center in the past two years have diminished. One may argue that there is no direct connection between the two realties, but the situation is much too obvious to be considered a mere coincidence. It is safe to say that the medical expenses that the company needs to take care of in case our employees need them, are far bigger than the costs required by the maintenance of the existing Fitness Center. Numbers showed that the more the employees used the fitness center, the lesser were the expenses that the company had to make in order to keep them healthy. The 65% of the employees who never used the Fitness center cost the company a total of 81.500 dollars, while the ones who made medium and frequent use of the center cost the company just 21, 100 dollars. It must be stated that the frequency of going to the Fitness Center appears to be directly correlated to the increasing or decreasing of the medical expenses. Numbers have shown that the higher the frequency of use was, the smaller the medical expenses became. "
