Eight benefits of staffing your fitness center
Published by HealthFitness on May 2nd, 2024
You may have wondered if staffing your corporate fitness center is really necessary. Staffing your center adds cost, but if you are looking to get the most value out of the space here are eight things to consider.
1. Enhanced employee engagement
Staffed gyms have more engaged and participating employees. When fitness center staff provide personalized attention, guidance and encouragement, employees are more likely to use it regularly, according to the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
2. Community building
Fitness center staff foster employee camaraderie. They host social events, fitness challenges, and wellness workshops to build teamwork, connections, and a health-focused workplace culture.
3. Adaptability and relevance
Staffed fitness centers can better meet employee needs and preferences. Based on feedback, usage patterns, and changing trends, staff can adjust programming, hours, and services to keep the fitness center relevant and appealing to employees.
4. Commitment to wellness
Staffing the fitness center shows that the company values employees’ physical fitness, mental health, and overall wellness, which can boost morale, loyalty, and satisfaction.
5. Expert advice and assistance
Fitness center staff can encourage, support, and hold employees accountable to help them reach their fitness goals. They can provide personalized workout advice, demonstrate proper exercise techniques, and help set goals for safer, more effective workouts.
6. Better safety and security
Staffing the fitness center keeps employees safe while exercising. Trained staff can monitor activities, enforce safety protocols, and respond quickly to emergencies or injuries, reducing company liability and accident risk.
7. Tailored programming
Staffed fitness centers can offer customized fitness programs and classes tailored to the needs and preferences of employees. Fitness instructors can design personalized workout plans, lead group exercise classes, and organize fitness challenges to keep employees engaged and motivated.
8. Equipment and maintenance supervision
Staff can oversee equipment maintenance and ensure safe fitness equipment use. Regular inspections, maintenance, and prompt problem resolution reduce downtime and costly repairs. Staff can also make sure employees are using it properly and respectfully, reducing improper wear.
