Despite the high number of individuals afflicted with obesity in the US, many choose not to use gyms and fitness centers to lose weight. About one-third of the United States suffers from obesity, according to CDC estimates. That means there are over 92 million overweight Americans, many of whom suffer from conditions such as heart disease and hypertension as a result. For some, these staggering numbers don't indicate a problem with appetite. It's more likely that stress, not overconsumption, is the cause of that spare tire. Stress can cause the adrenal glands to overproduce cortisol, a hormone that has been closely linked with obesity.

Even though those extra pounds are the result of stress, the weight loss solution remains the same. For long-term weight loss, a sensible diet and adequate exercise are needed. The best results can only be achieved if you are willing to add fun into your weight loss plan. Fun can help remove stress and lower obesity-causing cortisol levels. Fun can also improve mood, lowering the rate of comfort eating. Some of the most successful fitness centers in America already know this secret and actively use fun prize games such as prize wheels to chase stress away and augment the more traditional weight loss methods. The chance to win a prize and the sound of a prize wheel clicker make it almost impossible for contestants to hang on to their stress.

Prize wheels, typically known for providing fun at carnivals, are also becoming quite popular as marketing tools. These prize games are typically fully customizable, meaning you can insert new prize cards into the slots with each new use. If you do not have a lot of storage space, you can buy a mini prize wheel. These are probably the most versatile marketing tools you will ever see. Use them to advertise your new fitness center or take it inside for use as a part of the weight loss regimen. You could even use a mini prize wheel to give fitness activists a chance to win samples of new products.

At a fitness center, everything is focused on health and wellness. During the education process, you can use your prize wheel to promote new products, services and wellness plans to customers who are less likely to try something new. Perhaps it is an opportunity to get a body mass index evaluation or try out a new "stay full" health bar, your prize wheel can be used to education and promote more wellness opportunities at your fitness center. Prize wheels enable you to keep your marketing campaigns mobile. Use it in your fitness center, and then bring it along to the trade show. The prize wheel can reflect your fitness center branding with customizable prize wedges and logo in the center plate. If you are a creative person, you can successfully use the prize wheel over and over again. In an effort to spread health and wellness, the prize wheel is a tool that gives your fitness center the marketing power it needs to be successful.
