What is workplace fitness training?

FACT: Fit, healthy people are happier and more productive at work.

FACT: Fit, healthy people have greater concentration, focus and alertness.

FACT: Finding time and motivation for fitness training can be very difficult.

FACT: ABActive can solve the problem by coming to you at your workplace with everything you need!

The single biggest complaint among people that would like to get fit or lose weight is that they simply can't find the time to train. The problem is that finding the time for anything these days is difficult. Training is something for which people need to make time. Personal Trainer Alan Baxter can help with this situation.

All that is required is some space in your office building, somewhere on the grounds of your workplace or a nearby park plus the commitment of some members of staff. Alan Baxter will supply the rest.

Think how much time and effort you could save by training at work, before the workday begins or during your lunch break. A circuit training class carefully designed to maximise strength and fitness improvements and to burn fat can be extremely rewarding and lots of fun. But Alan will supply more than just the class.

Workplace Training

Alan's circuit training classes are structured into 8 week terms. In week one each participant will take part in a fun, low impact fitness assessment and introduction to circuit training. In weeks 2 through 7, each participant will enjoy a challenging and enjoyable circuit training class. Then, in week 8, each participant will again take a fitness assessment and will subsequently be presented with a 'Certificate of Achievement' showing the gains they have made during the eight weeks. Then the whole 8 week program will start again. This is a form of exercising that can be repeated indefinitely to reach a state of great health and fitness, an ideal weight and body shape and maintain those gains.

Alan can also offer nutritional assessments and advice to ensure that your eating habits become as healthy as your exercise habits.

Alan Baxter can come to your office several times a week if required, training groups mornings, lunchtimes, afternoons - whenever suits you and your colleagues. Training more than once a week can be highly beneficial with improved results achieved in a shorter time. Group sizes are limited so that each person gets personal attention. Alan will happily run several classes back to back if you have more than eight keen participants.

Companies these days recognise that fit and healthy staff are more productive and happy at work. Based on this, a number of companies are often prepared to subsidise a group class in the workplace, by not only providing the space to train in, but sometimes offering to pay a percentage of the training fee, or offer the course as a salary sacrifice. And don't forget that a lot of health funds will provide pay back for health and fitness classes. Check with your employer or health fund to see if any of these options might apply to you or talk to your HR Department today about arranging group fitness classes in your workplace.

So what is there to lose? You might have complained before that you don't have time to exercise. Now you only have to come to work a bit early or give up a lunch hour and you'll be exercising, improving health and fitness and having fun.
