Workplace Gym at OX IT Solutions

THE OX GYM

OX IT encourages staff to stay fit and healthy and to support this further we have built an onsite gym with state of the art equipment that staff can use at any time.

At OX IT, when our staff began returning to the office, we wanted their opinions on what they most liked about home working, and it turned out they’re a healthy bunch!

One of the many views mentioned was the ability to go to their local gym in the mornings and lunchtimes without it eating into their evenings, so we obliged!

Further Office acquisitions at OX IT’s Kidlington HQ to cater for our growing team enabled us to save a bit of extra space and provide this brand-new state of the art Gym equipment from Mark Bowker at Bowker Leisure Ltd T/A Trade Gym Solutions (tradegymsolutions.co.uk).

The benefits of a gym in the workplace

Exercise helps improve mental health. Fact. Exercising up to three times a week can reduce the risk of depression by 20%.

Having a gym in the workplace means that employees can exercise regularly and have the ‘headspace’ to burn off stress and tension.

And, not only does it reduce anxiety, but regular exercise improves sleep, increases clarity of thought and boosts self-esteem, thereby leading to an overall improvement in mood and resilience.
