25% of rental sales

9. Self Achievers (24%)
Self Achievers are the most proactive when it
comes to their wellness, investing what is
necessary toward their health and appearance.
Self Achievers may actually have health issues,
but they stay on top of them with regular medical
check-ups, health screenings, and research.
Self Achievers are task oriented, and will tackle a
challenge if they are given measurable goals.
10. Balance Seekers (18%)
Balance Seekers are generally proactive in
their health and wellness-oriented. Balance
Seekers are open to many ideas, sources of
information, and treatment options when it
comes to their healthcare.
However, Balance Seekers themselves –
not healthcare professionals -- define what
success looks like in their health. Physicians
and other healthcare professionals are useful
resources, but not the only resources, for
leading a healthy life.
11. Priority Jugglers (18%)
Priority Jugglers are very busy with
many responsibilities. Because of all
these responsibilities, Priority Jugglers
may not take the time to invest in their
own wellbeing and are reactive when it
comes to health issues.
However, Priority Jugglers are very
proactive when it comes to their family’s
health and will make sure their loved
ones receive the care they need.
12. Direction Takers (13%)
Direction Takers believe their physician is
the most credible resource for their
healthcare needs. Direction Takers look to
their physician and other healthcare
professionals for direction and guidance
because of their expertise and credentials.
Direction Takers are more likely to go to the
doctor at the first sign of health concerns.
However, Direction Takers may not always
follow a physician’s advice – not because
they disagree with his/her recommendations,
but because it is often difficult to work these
recommendations into their routine.
13. Willful Endurers (27%)
Willful Endurers live in the “here and
now” and believe there are more
important things to focus on than
improving their health for the future.
Willful Endurers are not necessarily
unhealthy, but they do what they like,
when they like, and do not change their
habits. They are self-reliant and can
withstand anything life throws at them,
going to the doctor only when they
absolutely must.
