Hello all,

I have a question about how common it is to have fees for health promotion
programs and what are the affects of these fees.

Recently I was reading the Ottawa Citizen and a nice advertisement caught
my eye, the text follows:

UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA HEART INSTITUTE
PREVENTION AND REHABILITATION CENTRE

Prevention Programs for the New Year

Fitlife- Exercise and Nutrition Program

A twelve week program starting on January 16, 1999 geared to those
interested in scientifically- based exercise and nutrition instruction.
 Fitlife, staffed by Physiotherapist, Dietitian and Registered Nurse,
offers a personalized coronary risk profile, nutrition and fitness
evaluations, supervised sessions and counseling on lifestyle changes.

Fitlife- Maintenance Program

This 12 week course is based upon the same principles as Fitlife.  The
participants meet once a week.  $125.00
