Making Movement Work: How to workout in the Workplace
When we think of fitness, we often picture a gym session after work or a weekend run in the park. But what if we could integrate movement into our working day, not as an afterthought, but as part of the culture?
At Gee Force Fitness, we believe fitness in the workplace isn’t just possible, it’s essential. Over the past three years, we’ve worked with businesses, co-working spaces, and commercial buildings to prove just that.
Here’s how you can bring fitness into your workplace and why it matters.
Why Workplace Fitness Matters
Sitting for long periods. Skipping lunch. Powering through stress. It’s no surprise that workplace burnout is on the rise. But research shows that incorporating movement into the workday can:
Improve focus and productivity
Reduce stress and boost mental clarity
Support physical health and prevent chronic pain
Create stronger team bonds and workplace morale
Movement doesn’t need to be intense or time-consuming, it just needs to be intentional..
How to Integrate Fitness at Work
Whether you’re a company leader or an employee looking for inspiration, here are some accessible ways to build fitness into your workplace:
1. Lunchtime Classes
Offering 45 minute classes during the lunch hour is one of the simplest and most effective ways to get people moving. At Gee Force Fitness we offer bespoke classes to meet your staff/colleagues preferences. Our lunchtime yoga, strength, and mobility sessions are designed to energise without exhausting, leaving participants refreshed and ready for the rest of the day.
2. Morning Energisers or Post-Work Wind Downs
Start the day with a light stretch or finish with a sweat. Offering early morning or post-5pm classes gives flexibility to different schedules and helps reinforce a healthy work-life balance.
3. On-Site Options
Not every workplace has a gym, but we don’t need one. We run sessions in open-plan offices, empty meeting rooms, and even rooftops! Welcoming all fitness levels, make fitness inclusive for everyone.
4. Wellbeing Activations
A one-off fitness event or themed wellness week can kick-start healthy habits and boost employee engagement. These also help test the waters before embedding more regular programming.
Our Approach at Gee Force Fitness
We design workplace fitness that’s:
Inclusive: All levels welcome, no judgment.
Flexible: Tailored to your space, schedule, and culture.
Sustainable: Built to last, not just one-off wellness ticks.
Empowering: Focused on how people feel, not just how they perform.
We’ve delivered thousands of sessions and supported teams in creating lasting wellbeing change, from boutique firms to large co-working communities.
Let’s Make Movement a Part of Work
Fitness at work isn’t just about stretching or breaking a sweat, it’s about showing people they matter. That their wellbeing is worth investing in. And that health and productivity can thrive together.
