A Lure to Wellness

Keeping fit is a passion for some and a chore for others; either way the scheduling of a workout can be a challenge. But when a fitness facility is part of the workplace, replete with amenities—which is increasingly the case as companies renovate, move to new locations, or establish stand-alone fitness centers near the office—an enticement to wellness is an immediate benefit. A boon for the human experience at work, such centers can have a positive impact on morale, production, and recruitment and retention. The IA team has designed a variety of these facilities, each with its own focus tailored to client goals and culture. Here are a few.

At this wellness center (above and below), created for employees but open to the community, fitness can be pursued at any level, intense or more relaxed.

An after workout stint in the sauna is a great way to unwind and may lower blood pressure.

Often in-house gyms are manned by a personal trainer and offer a variety of classes. Weight training is one of many options.

A view to the neighborhood and plenty of natural light heightens the experience.

Graphics can enhance the environment and encourage and motivate.

This facility (above and below) offers indoor and outdoor fitness equipment with a view to an adjacent game room and break area.

A locker room is an appreciated convenience.

After workout amenities can be straightforward, sleek, and functional.

Or they can offer a more spa-like environment.

Some facilities expand the concept of fitness to include an in-house bowling alley, putting green, or a variety of activities that keep staff moving, including ping pong and shuffleboard.

As organizations look to create wellness, in-house fitness centers provide an opportunity that entices staff to a healthier lifestyle, which is at the heart of good health.
