In the fast-paced, high-stress and results-driven environment that many companies thrive on, staff health is vital for continued success. Corporate fitness is becoming a key part of the business week as companies bid to shape up.

Corporate fitness is one of the most cost effective ways to achieve staff health and wellbeing. The benefits to business are multi-fold and include increased motivation, reduced stress, raised loyalty to the company and enhanced team working. With an estimated 85 of the 100 Times Top 100 Companies having a corporate fitness programme or membership scheme in place, the link between successful companies and healthy staff is clear. Particularly in the current economic downturn – which has seen additional pressures placed on company workers – it is vital for staff to stay fit and healthy if businesses are to stay competitive.

As the old adage goes, a healthy body is a healthy mind. Corporate fitness routines provide a great outlet for staff frustration, stress and tiredness. The time and money invested in a corporate fitness workout outside the office or in a local park once or twice a week is well spent. The routine will help with team bonding; clarity of thought as staff are able to get away from their desks and all the distractions associated with them; and positivity levels thanks to the increased oxygen reaching the brain and the released endorphins. Staff will feel better and perform better, boosting productivity and, ultimately, company profits.

Esteem Fitness has coverage in England and provides competitive corporate fitness programmes which are tailored to the individual company’s needs. Assessing the fitness levels of teams, departments, or the entire company, Esteem Fitness then works closely with staff to find a corporate fitness routine which suits both work and fitness levels, and generates real results.

Businesses can get in great shape today by making corporate fitness a key component of the working week.
