💪 Enjoy a better work life with the Workwise Fitness Center

"The first wealth is health” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

When I was a personal trainer and group fitness instructor, I saw the gym get super-packed every January. Two months later, the crowds were back to normal. Of course, motivation and willpower played a role, but the lack of space and available equipment during peak hours was also a big part of the problem. Peak hours at any gym can be stressful. Who wants to wait in line for something you don't really want to do in the first place? 

Group classes weren't any better. We had to keep our class sizes small because, you guessed it, we didn't have enough space or equipment to help more. Many of my clients would get frustrated and give up before they ever had a chance to develop the new, healthy habits they wanted so badly.

What if there was a better way?

Gyms and fitness centers around the Richmond area average somewhere between $40 and $100 per month. But your Workwise private office includes an on-site Fitness Center 24/7/365 for NO EXTRA CHARGE! And we have women's and men's locker rooms with showers right across the hall. So, you can take a fitness break and get cleaned up without ever leaving the building. Wow, what a time saver for a busy professional like you! 🕓

Didn't know we had an on-site Fitness Center?

Don't worry, you're not alone. It seems to be the best kept secret in the building, which means you can almost always use all that state-of-the-art fitness equipment without anyone else in your way. And while we don't have any group classes, I'm happy to share my professional experience and expertise any time you want to stop by my office.

More of a walker or runner?

Of course, there are plenty of treadmills for rainy days, but checkout the 1.3 mile walking and running trail that wraps around Lake Rooty when you can. Perfect for a mental health break or a walking meeting. For you runners, you could knock out a few laps, get showered, and back to your office in less than an hour. The trail is also popular among bird watchers. 🐦

When you leave the office to go home, you can really go home to be with your loved ones. No need to fight the crowds in the gym. You've already met your health goal for the day. Just one more way Workwise can help you enjoy a better work life.
