The following are recommended steps for setting up a corporate gym. Rather than paying for what can be costly corporate gym membership at a national chain or local sports centre Packers Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey , setting up your own inhouse gym can be a cost effective solution. Having the space to implement a plan is a key factor - renting a facility may always be an option. It is now possible to rent equipment rather than buy to.

1. Assess the needs and interests of the employees for a gym

Simply conduct a quick easy survey to identify healthy living habits amongst the team. This can then be supported by a physical test on a sample group to measure some basic fitness indicators.

Employee involvement is important in the planning process and a committee should be created that will aim to assess the needs and interests of all the employees are considered and that the programme is responsive to the needs of potential participants.

Buy in from senior managers will be essential. Get their support and identify a champion early

2. Develop mission statement and objectives

Create a mission statement and a clear set of objectives that are specific and measurable.

3. Create a timetable and budget

Timetables should be set for club development and opening and a budget allocated for the set up of the fitness centre (build and equipment) and the wellness programme fully costed on a per employee basis.

4. Space plan and facility design

The space allocated needs to be reviewed and a design plan created that can both deliver the operational objectives and work operationally.

5. Equipment specifications

Fitness equipment and other set up fixtures and fittings need to be specified and costed.

6. Consider management options

We recommend that you recruit a management company to deliver the management solution.

7. Set up incentive schemes

Incentive schemes can build motivation by offering individuals rewards for getting started and adhering to a healthy living programme.

These could merchandise awards or even additional time off. Discounted health insurance premiums could be negotiated also for regular attendance.

8. Promote the facility

The programme should be given a brand and theme that supports the company's values and will help give the initiative an identity .Posters, leaflets and direct mail will form the core of the communication plan along with outreach ideas in common areas.

The intra net site should be developed to include information about the company's Healthy Living strategy.

The best marketing will of course be word of mouth referral from fellow employees.

9. Implement the programme

The fitness centre should be much more than just a gym and whilst being the focus for the company's healthy living strategy will also be a place where employees can socialise and develop team spirit.

Along with gym games and motivational campaigns social events can also be introduced.

10. Evaluate

The programme should be assessed periodically to assess its efficiency and effectiveness in delivering the goals that were established. Both the process and outcomes should be measured and costs considered.

This article ( originally posted at )has been circulated with permission of the copyright holder.The term "enlightenment" has become very popular lately, and the desire for enlightenment has become a source of much profit for some people.

Many claim that they possess a magic key for enlightenment and they guarantee that, by using their methods and approaches Packers Randall Cobb Jersey , a person will surely attain enlightenment - and all in just a few months!

Misinformed people who seek to better their lives take such methods for granted, hoping that one day they will perhaps even be "enlightened" themselves..

Be as it may, I must admit that I do not see too many enlightened people around me - do you?

But, let us first look into the reason why somebody would want to be enlightened in the first place.

Are they not satisfied with their current situation in life?

Maybe they have a feeling that there is something "higher" or better than what they have now?

Or perhaps they simply blindly believe the authorities who claim that enlightenment just exists and that it is much more beautiful and better than the life they have lived so far?

Of course Packers Mike Daniels Jersey , like with anything else, the reasons why people want to be enlightened are various, but I believe that, at least for the majority Packers Clay Matthews Jersey , all those reasons can be put under the same denominator, which is their "feeling that they are not living their life to the full", or "the feeling that life is passing them by."

Because they see enlightenment as something that will make their life nicer and fuller, people just accept the paradigm that enlightenment is necessary. Without questioning the accepted paradigms Packers Aaron Rodgers Jersey , they strive for enlightenment without realizing what it really means.

So, what does it mean to be enlightened?

Does it mean that there will be no problems?

Does it mean that we can start living our lives in endless joy and with complete inner peace?

What does it mean to be enlightened, exactly?

I will give you a brief reason why there is, basically Packers Bart Starr Jersey , no such thing as "enlightenment"; why the term is contradictory in itself, and why nobody really needs to be enlightened.

"Enlightenment" is just an ideal, and each ideal is like the horizon. We can see it somewhere in the distance, but as soon as come closer Packers Dexter Williams Jersey , it seems to keep getting further away from us, becoming nothing more than an unfulfilled desire.

In order to get from point A to point B, we first need to know where it is that we are starting from, and where it is that we are heading to - i.e. our destination. If our goal is too vague or undefined Packers Jace Sternberger Jersey , we will never get where we want to get, and the reaso. Cheap Jerseys From China   Cheap Jerseys From China   Cheap MLB Jerseys China   Cheap NHL Jerseys   Cheap NFL Jerseys China   Cheap NBA Jerseys From China   Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys   Cheap Football Jerseys   Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys   Wholesale NFL Jerseys
