How we can help you!

Health Checks

These 20min appointments can be conducted on site at your workplace, and include a brief assessment of the employees health to determine their health risk status. Tests include height, weight, BMI, Blood Pressure, Posture Analysis, Cardiovascular fitness and flexibility. We also conduct a Lifestyle questionnaire and with these results provide recommendations for improvements. Your Organisation can choose to have this data presented in a report to determine the overall health of the workplace. These results can help determine what health interventions are suitable for your employees.

FitnessAge Assessments

This 30min assessment allows the employee to compare their fitness “age” to their real “age”. This test compares normative data of the Australian population, for various age categories, to your results for body composition, flexibility, strength and cardiovascular fitness. This simple test helps provide incentives to the employee to “Turn Back the Clock” and reduce their fitness age to match their chronological age.

Group Exercise Classes

These classes can be conducted on site at your workplace or at our facility and are great in boosting team morale. These classes can help train your employees for a special event as well such as a Corporate Triathlon, City2Surf, Fun run etc. Classes can include Yoga, Pilates, CardioBox, Circuit, Gym Sessions, BootCamps and Walking/ Running/ Triathlon groups and accommodate for up to 30 people in a class.

Team Building Days

Team building is both stimulating and rewarding. Effective teamwork can achieve results far beyond the capabilities of an individual. These days can help bring your team together, enhance a team’s working environment and boost productivity.
