At SebSpace, we think more employers and workplaces need to recognise the importance of encouraging workers to exercise. We have, which is why we offer all our members exclusive discounts at the local PureGym and Substation rock climbing centre, as well as unfettered access to our own onsite purpose-built gym.
PureGym has a wide range of gym equipment and daily classes, and SubStation can accommodate first timers or seasoned climbers. They are both only 5-10 minutes walking distance from SebSpace, and with our exclusive discount members can get 5% off the Core Plan and 10% off the Plus Plan at PureGym, and 10% off all memberships and a set price of £10 with free shoe hire when you pay-as-you-go at Substation. SebSpace members wishing to claim these discounts should contact the community manager via hello@sebspace.co.uk
Our onsite gym is available to all members to use at their convenience, equipped with a boxing bag, cross trainer, rowing machine and free weights, it’s great for that quick workout before, during or after, work. And what exactly are the benefits of exercise at work? Let’s explore below!
Helps manage stress and prevent burnout
Exercise releases endorphins, and as much as it improves your physical health, it also does wonders for mental health.
Can reduce lateness
For those who prefer to hit the gym in the morning, offering a place to exercise at work can reduce lateness.
Encourages better relationships
Putting on classes or starting a running club can bring together people who wouldn’t normally mingle. You could even make it competitive and start team challenges.
Reduces the dangers of a sedentary lifestyle
Sitting for too long, for example those who work on a computer sat at a desk for the majority of the day, poses many health risks. Reduce health risks by exercising regularly.
Increases productivity and makes staff feel valued
When you genuinely care about your employees health and wellbeing, staff feel valued and in turn are more likely to be productive.
