Employee Fitness
A healthy workforce is a
more productive one.
We encourage your employees to stay active by providing solutions that fit their lifestyle and work environment.
Manage On-Site Fitness Facilities
Investing in a fitness centre not only encourages physical activity, it makes it easier for your employees to get healthy and stay healthy. Staffing the facility with a fitness expert takes your initiative one step further. Your employees will have access to a professional who can help them begin an exercise program safely and motivate them to stick with it. Having your fitness centre managed also ensures that your investment continues to function properly and is being used to its fullest potential.
A group fitness program is also a key part of our fitness centre management. Offering group fitness onsite helps eliminate barriers to physical activity that many people face such as accessibility, lack of time and cost. It also encourages your employees to include fitness in their daily routine.
Fitness Consulting
Committing to a new healthy habit is hard, however, many people find it easier with advice and coaching from a trusted expert. An Apex Wellness Professional can help employees on their path to wellness in a number of ways. Together they will:
- Set goals
- Create fitness programs
- Develop nutrition plans
- Explore health and wellness resources and education
- Encourage and maintain healthy lifestyle habits
Most of all, our wellness professionals know how to keep employees motivated.
Fitness Education
Wellness is not achieved through access to group activities and workout equipment alone. Consistent, targeted wellness messaging, in a variety of forms, encourages participation and reinforces commitment. We provide information in a number of engaging ways:
- Posters & Newsletters: Easily accessible, cost-effective wellness tools that communicate key information on programs, events and health education.
- Challenges: Competitions that build a supportive environment and encourage your employees to work together to achieve a common goal.
- QuickBits: Short fitness and wellness related messages shared in an engaging or interactive way, accompanied by an incentive for participation.
- Wellness Clinics: Creative, custom initiatives that teach your employees how to increase their daily physical activity.
Group Fitness Programs
Group exercise makes fitness accessible to a larger group, and creates a fun, team building environment. Our Wellness experts have experience leading group exercise classes, coordinating contracted instructors and maintaining and communicating schedules. We are able to help you select qualified, energetic instructors and ensure that they are creating safe and effective class experiences for your employees.
New Facility Design
Creating a fitness space for your employees takes strategic planning to ensure that your money is well spent, and that the space is being used to its fullest potential. Corporate fitness facilities are often smaller in size, and the right pieces of equipment need to be selected to meet the needs of your employees. We can work with you to plan the space, source equipment, recommend suppliers and maintenance vendors, and keep to your project budget.
Stretch Breaks
There is a growing body of evidence that states prolonged sitting has a negative effect on overall health. Implementing an ‘Approved to Move’ culture will benefit employees’ physical and mental health by encouraging them to take stretch breaks.
An Apex Wellness Professional can be onsite to lead regular movement breaks or our team can train your employees to become stretch break leaders. This includes strategies to encourage movement at meetings and throughout the workday.
