Fit for work!
In today's busy environment, everyone is trying to fit more into their day. Work, family, leisure activities, social functions...and god forbid that you fit in anything to assist you improve your health and wellness! We have 10,080 minutes in a week and the exercise recommendation is 30 minutes per day, so how do we find 210 minutes in our 10,080 minutes in a week?? Sounds easy doesn't it? Somehow it doesn't seem to be!
One way is to exercise during the day. This means you don't have to get up early and you don't have to find time at the end of your day when you are tired. You aren't cutting into your valuable sleep time or the time you want to spend with your family.
We work with small to medium sized businesses to organise health and wellness programs for their employees. Our Fit for Work! program encompasses a Health and Wellness presentation and group exercise classes over a period of weeks. We include a Fitness Challenge to ensure that every participant has a goal to work towards and can measure their improvements.
Training with colleagues is beneficial from a bonding perspective, getting to know each other, and also just having fun together as a team. Plus the benefits to employers is significant. You have a happier and healthier employee, helping to reduce stress, improve focus and reduce time off work as a result of illness.

AT&T
In March 2009, AT&T approached us to run a fitness program for their teams at North Sydney and West Pennant Hills. We ran classes for 6 weeks and when these classes were completed, several of the guys decided to continue on their own. Both teams trained with us for a further 12 months. The teams have achieved some great results. Sam was one of our Star Clients of the month, achieving weight loss and reduced girth measurements. as well as completing our City 2 Surf program in 2010. Manfred ran with us in the City 2 Surf in 2009 and in 2010. Gerard and Pete completed the City 2 Surf in 2010, and Pete did his first Half Marathon prior to that in May 2010. We are pleased to have been able to assist these teams with their fitness levels and we are proud to see them going on to bigger and better achievments! AT&T also completed our 12 week Fitness Challenge in 2010 and achieved some outstanding improvements! We hope to run another program for them in 2011. |
