The Right Way To Do Corporate Fitness

How To Encourage Corporate Fitness

Support Charity
One great way to get people involved is to give back to the community. Many charities hold marathons, relay races, and more to help raise money. You can get an office team together to take part in a charity race and your company can become a corporate sponsor. You can also try to incentivize your workers by offering some type of reward or recognition for whoever can raise enough money or run the most miles for the charity sporting event.

Make It A Game
Set different fitness goals as achievements by creating badges or statuses for those who complete them. This will help your employees track their progress while also making them want to continue to unlock achievements. You can also incorporate gameplay into office life. Start a company baseball league or plan a Friday night company soccer game. Creating fun, non-compulsory opportunities for your employees to get active while having some fun with their coworkers is a great way to get into action and facilitate better office dynamics.

Step Counter
There are a ton of apps available that can count steps. Get your office onto the same app (or use smartwatches if they are an option) and have everyone count their steps. At the end of the month, you can issue an award, whether that’s an achievement certificate, a gift card, a healthy meal, or any other incentive.

Set A Group Event Goal
If you know there’s an event coming up, give your staff plenty of notice and give them time to get fit for it. For example, if there’s a community fun run happening, let your staff know that members from your office will be participating. Or you can organize an event yourself, such as an office relay race. Try to emphasize the competitive nature of the event to get people excited and help them push themselves.

Get Involved Yourself
If the boss isn’t taking part, why should the employees? Walk the walk (literally) by joining in on the corporate fitness journey. This will encourage people to stick with it and it offers an easy way to build connections with your staff. For example, you can start a conversation by asking them what activities they recommend or if they have any healthy dinner ideas. Whether your company is small or large, employees appreciate seeing that their boss practices what they preach, including corporate fitness.

Offer A Group Fitness Class
Fitness classes might seem a bit pricey for individual employees or maybe they don’t have the motivation to start going to a personal trainer. But you can help get people involved by hiring a trainer to lead group lessons. By offering some fitness classes covered by the company, you can help to get your staff started on their fitness journey. As a bonus, companies that offer great corporate fitness opportunities like this can also use this as a draw when hiring new workers.
