How Science Can Help Create Healthy Habits: Behavior Change For Good Initiative (BCFG) In Partnership With 24 Hour Fitness
A key element to the 24 Hour Fitness mission is BCFG’s StepUp Program. Led by Angela Duckworth, Professor of Psychology in the Penn School of Arts and Sciences, and Katherine Milkman, Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions at the Wharton School, a world-class scientific team, including Nobel laureates and members of the National Academy of Sciences, unite to test and improve a behavior change program focused on improving people’s daily health decisions with the end goal of building healthy habits. All adult members and future members of 24 Hour Fitness (18+ years of age) are eligible to participate and can register for this free program by visiting https://stepupfitness.org.
“We want to help people achieve their fitness goals with exercise habits that last,” said Professor Duckworth, Co-Director of BCFG. “The StepUp Program tests the best ideas of our scientific team on how to make behavior change stick. By finding ways to help people build lasting, positive habits, behavioral science has the potential to radically improve health outcomes—and more.”
“We can now deliver a formidable combination of personalization, technology and science to every member that also reshapes the entire health and fitness industry,” stated Chris Roussos, CEO, 24 Hour Fitness. “Science can impact long-term behavior change of the global population and will ultimately reinforce our new strategy to create healthier, happier people.”
