Cooper Aerobics Turns 45

This has been a year of celebration at Cooper Aerobics—it’s our 45th anniversary. From the founding of The Cooper Institute 501(c)(3) in June 1970 to our current eight health and wellness entities, Cooper has inspired millions to live longer, healthier lives. Here are a few facts you may not know:

  • Cooper Hotel originally opened in 1984 for Cooper Clinic patients and has been open to the public since 1986. It’s now ranked #2 of 195 hotels in Dallas on TripAdvisor.
  • The Cooper Institute 501(c)(3) was the first to scientifically prove being fit—as measured by the treadmill stress test—decreases your risk for all-cause mortality by 58 percent.
  • Three of Cooper Wellness Strategies' clients made The Active Times’ 50 Fittest Companies list in 2014—National Instruments (#2), Chick-fil-A (#22) and Devon Energy (#41).
