Do you often find yourself feeling drained without the energy to hit the gym after work? Chances are, your colleagues feel just the same. An easy and effective solution to this- as observed by a number of highly successful corporations like Microsoft, Google, Nike, and Unilever- is setting up a corporate gym in your workplace. 

This can have twin benefits of not only improving your physical health but also boosting productivity and performance in the workplace. Besides, this is a fresh approach to tackle an issue growing rampant in the corporate space where a sedentary life is led by a majority of the population. The practice of setting up a corporate gym has been gaining fire in recent years as an increasing number of institutions are now beginning to introduce such facilities to their premises.

A healthy lifestyle, in general, usually entails a reduction in stress, fatigue, and other health problems. This, in turn, leads to more fruitful results for the company as a whole as employees can perform better and take fewer sick days.

Desk jobs lead to a sedentary life where a person oscillates between an 8-hour desk job, traveling, eating, and sleeping on repeat every day. Exercise and a healthy diet are completely neglected in this scenario. This monotony results in several mental and bodily health issues that must be addressed.

But, are there any real benefits to setting up an in-office gym? Absolutely! Yes.

5 Benefits derived from a corporate gym by the company and its employees:

1. Improves both employee physical and mental health

The physical benefits of exercise are fat-burning, strengthening muscles, improving bone density, better blood circulation, and good heart health, just to name a few. Basically, exercise improves the immune system, leading to lower chances and frequency of employees falling sick, and reducing absenteeism due to illness. The healthier the employees, the lesser the chances of spreading diseases.

2. Exercise improves your mood

Next, exercising also has several mental health benefits. It has been shown to reduce depression, anxiety, stress, and many other mental disorders. Hormones called endorphins are released by the brain to help relieve stress, pain, etc. Exercising pumps up your endorphins and improves your sense of self. This raises the general working spirit among the employees which in turn improves the work culture. In due course, employee satisfaction and employee retention also expand.

3. Boosts productivity

With exercise, the blood circulation in the body improves which ensures more oxygen supply to the brain, increasing brain function among employees. Regular exercise has been shown to increase energy levels and cognitive function, leading to improved focus, creativity, and productivity in the workplace. Employees who are engaged even in moderate exercises have better problem-solving skills and information processing speed. As it improves the functions of the brain and body this leads to an increase in the speed and performance of the employees.

4. Raises Morale

When a corporation cares about its people, it boosts employee morale. It encourages more willingness to contribute to the organization. A corporate gym is the kind of positive reinforcement that shows the employees that the corporation cares for their health and well-being. This gesture boosts morale and re-establishes the connection between employees and the company.

5. Strengthened Company Culture

Having a corporate gym encourages employees to engage in fitness activities together, creating opportunities for social interaction and teamwork. This sense of community strengthens the company culture by promoting collaboration and mutual support among colleagues. Additionally, the presence of a corporate gym serves as an attractive perk for potential hires, reflecting the company's commitment to employee well-being and fostering a positive work environment.

6. Increased Employee Satisfaction and Retention

Offering access to a corporate gym showcases the company's dedication to employee well-being, resulting in increased job satisfaction and greater employee retention. When employees feel supported in their wellness goals, they are more likely to remain with the company long-term, leading to a more stable and satisfied workforce.

7. Positive Brand Image

Investing in a corporate gym showcases the company's dedication to prioritizing employee well-being, which reflects positively on its brand image. By providing access to fitness facilities, the company demonstrates its commitment to fostering a healthy work environment and supporting the holistic development of its employees. This emphasis on employee health not only attracts top talent seeking a supportive workplace but also resonates with clients who value corporate social responsibility, ultimately bolstering the company's reputation and competitive advantage in the market.
