5 London Offices with a Gym for Fitness-Focused Businesses
There are many features that are found in offices.
At One One One, we have access to Every London Office, and we are always amazed at some of the phenomenal amenities that can be seen across the many workspaces throughout the capital (there’s even one with a slide!)
A feature that is always really popular among employees, especially in fitness-focused brands, is a gym.
While this is a great thing to have, gyms aren’t very common across London offices, in fact they show up in only 5% of ours.
What this means is that if you’re interested in an office with a gym, you have to get in quickly, and that’s why we’ve created this guide to five offices with gyms you can take a look around today.
Let’s take a look.
Why Your Next Office Needs a Gym
A gym is rarely on the top of anyone’s list of priorities when it comes to finding a new place to work, but having such a feature does provide many benefits, including:
- It Helps to Attract and Keep Employees – Having a gym is a great perk. The average gym membership in London costs £40 a month, so by offering one to your employees for free, you could save them nearly £500 a year. Not only that, but they don’t have to commute to the gym and can get their workout done before heading home.
- Healthier Workforce – Regular exercise is key to better health, so if you can promote this within your workforce, plus offer them a place where they can enjoy an exercise session, you are sure to have healthier staff. This doesn’t only give physical benefits but also mental too. This could also lead to less sick days.
- Improved Employee Wellbeing – There are many studies that have shown that regular exercise is beneficial to positive mental health and wellbeing. Huge corporations such as the NHS offer exercise as a cure for depression and there is much more research into other mental health issues, such as stress and anxiety, which has shown exercise can help.
- It’s Great for Team Building – A gym is not just a place to lift some weights, it is also a place where likeminded people come together and can bond over their workouts. Every heavy lift needs a spotter, and just having a space like this where people can talk whilst getting in a spot of exercise is great for building relationships.
- It Boosts Productivity – While it may seem strange that working out and tiring your body can boost productivity, research has shown it is true. Exercise increases blood flow to the brain, making you more alert and energetic. It can also improve your concentration and make you feel more creative, so it covers plenty of bases.
So, now you know why a gym is important, here are five London offices that contain one.
