Are you a business owner, manager or in procurement looking to increase morale, energy levels and workplace productivity, then it’s time to consider a workout space for your working environment. Whether it's walking pads at your desks or having a designated workout space; implementing exercise into the workspace for your employees is a great way to boost energy & improve productivity.

How an Exercise Space Can Increase Workplace Productivity
Stress Reduction
Exercise is known to release a neurotransmitter to the body called Endorphins.
An endorphin has a mood boosting and stress reducing effect allowing the body and mind to feel good after exercise.
A decrease in mental stress would allow the staff on your team to come back from the exercise space refreshed and ready to get through the rest of their working tasks.
Energy and Focus
Prolonged periods of sitting down and working can decrease the ability to focus and increase the mental fatigue in workers.
Taking breaks to engage in physical activity can fight against mental fatigue and increase energy levels, which occurs by the blood and oxygen flow to the brain which occurs during exercise, further promoting staff alertness.
So if you are noticing team energy is down, a decrease in focus throughout the shift, then a workout space to combat that would be beneficial to ensure the work place operates with higher output meaning consistent and better results
Enhanced Productivity & Creativity
Taking frequent breaks throughout your working day can increase productivity and enhance the creativity of your employees.
While contrary to popular beliefs, incorporating movement-based breaks will allow staff to come back mentally refreshed which promotes fresh thinking, combatting mental fatigue and being sedentary.
Utilising an exercise space will see an increase in productivity and creativity within your workplace, which ultimately will lead to improved work flow, sales, and return on investment. All while creating an environment where your staff culture becomes more fun, interactive and engaging with each other.
Team Morale Increased
A study showed that an increased team morale, and a work space where employees felt cared for, saw higher engagement in the office.
The study indicated that staff are 3.2 times more likely to be engaged in the mission of your business.
Think an increase in productivity, higher profitability, a reduction in absenteeism and reduced turnover in employment (percentages between 21% and 51% pending on the size of the business)
