Merrill Lynch Chooses Plus One to Power Employee Health Through Fitness

Merrill Lynch, one of the world's leading financial services firms, has chosen Plus One Fitness to design, manage, and operate the on-site fitness center at their New York headquarters and administer the center's fitness, physical therapy, spa, and wellness programs.

``On-site fitness facilities have become a very popular benefit for employees and executives at all levels,'' said Michael Motta, co-founder and President of Plus One Holdings. ``Our multi-year deal with Merrill Lynch demonstrates that they are seriously committed to helping their employees stay healthy.''

Merrill Lynch employees will receive the benefits of a first-class fitness facility. The 20,000 sq. ft., 2500 member club in the World Financial Center's South Tower will include state-of-the-art exercise equipment, a full-range of exercise classes, personal training as well as Internet-based computerized training and fitness assessments.

The center will be fully staffed with Plus One's exercise specialists, all holding a degree in the field and certification from the American College of Sports Medicine. Plus One will also provide physical and massage therapists, top aerobic dance and spinning instructors, and personal trainers.

Merrill Lynch employees will also benefit from the 5 Star rated service that Plus One delivers at its Hotel Spa and corporate fitness center operations. These services include spa treatments, massage therapy, and various wellness and group class programs.
