Do companies in Abu Dhabi need an on-site gym for their employee workout programs or can these programs be designed without the need for too much specialist fitness equipment?
Gyms are definitely not a requirement for any corporate project, and in most cases, we actively avoid using them.The workplace tends to have a very broad spectrum of people within it, all with varying Loves/Hates and Preferences, and exercise is no different.Just limiting our choices to Indoor Gyms, may really interest some, but also alienate others.All locations indoor and outdoor can be modified to suit.
Can you give a couple of examples of employee workout programs that are provided by a personal trainer and explain how these programs help employees in general with health and fitness?
There are many that can be offered, but a common scenario would be and employer who is looking for, basic exercise instruction and classes for all staff – whereby we would plan an optimal weekly schedule for the company which we would run on site for them for all staff members.
This typically involves a class focused on helping staff lose weight, such as High Intensity Interval Training. A class focused on improving the Body and Mind connection and relieving daily stresses and aches and pains such as Yoga And then something which is a little more technical and partner based used for team building and improving the communication of employees such as Boxing.
Offering a selection of sessions, allows the employees to naturally gravitate towards the one they will find more beneficial to them at that time.
