Physical Activity Provider

The physical activity provider in this alternate timeline is a large organization that offers a vast range of physical activity services, including gyms, fitness equipment, sports facilities and lifestyle goods. In response to mounting health concerns associated with sedentary lifestyles, the government has established the Physical Activity Quotas (PAQs) system, making it a legal requirement for citizens to meet certain activity quotas. As such, the physical activity provider has become an essential component of society, helping citizens adhere to these quotas by providing a plethora of options for them to stay active.

Physical Activity Quotas (PAQs)

Each citizen is required to accumulate a minimum number of physical activity points over a set period of time. These points are earned by participating in activities offered by an approved physical activity provider. The provider offers a variety of activities and services to cater to citizens of all ages and fitness levels, ensuring that everyone can meet the required quotas.

Government Regulation & Requirements for Providers

Physical activity providers are heavily regulated by the government, ensuring that they maintain acceptable standards and provide safe and healthy services for citizens. To receive government approval, a physical activity provider must offer a variety of programs that cater to diverse needs, interests, and abilities. They are also required to maintain high standards of equipment, facilities, and staff qualifications, as well as meet stringent safety and hygiene requirements.
