At Urban Fitness, it’s all about U
Australian studies show that an increasing percentage of adult males, adult females and children and adolescents are overweight or obese.
These are not just headlines, they describe the broader community and, at some level, will affect your business.
Research shows that unhealthy employees are costing organisations billions of dollars in sick-leave.
Employers can take preventative measures to help reverse this trend and develop highly productive employees.
Employee health is a major issue confronting society and, consequently, business in the 21st century. The effects of modern life, which includes our increasingly sedentary lifestyle, increased work, stress and the problems associated with an increase in people being overweight and obese are issues employers can no longer afford to ignore.
Exercise & Your Working Day
Incorporating exercise around work can be a problem for some people – not enough time, feeling tired, too much to think about etc.
We offer convenience as we provide many options for sessions so that individuals can fit training into their schedule and around work and family. Research has shown that exercise increases your energy levels, decreases feelings of stress, and improves morale. A greater awareness of healthy eating and drinking habits will result in you feeling more active and reduced fatigue leading to a productive working day.
Tips
* Always make time for breakfast. This kick starts your metabolism and helps you maintain energy throughout the day.
* Fitness also makes you feel more confident and alert.
* Exercise provides a psychological boost by releasing chemicals in the brain that help relieve feelings of stress or anxiety - making your working day far more enjoyable.
* Make some small changes such as using the stairs instead of the lift.
* Walking at lunchtime not only helps with fitness, but also wakes you up and stimulates the metabolism.
* Swap your coffees for herbal tea. Caffeine makes your energy levels yo-yo, and if you take sugar as well your blood sugar levels swing dramatically.
* Rely on eating the right food at the right times for energy – by eating smaller meals at least every 4 hours you are keeping your metabolism working smoothly, and avoiding the physical highs and lows brought about by irregular eating. If you get hungry between meals, choose healthy snacks like fruit or grain bars.
* Hydration - Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

The Duration of Sessions
All sessions go for duration of 45 minutes and all equipment is provided.
Corporate Training
Some individuals will select to train one on one as they prefer the personal service or may feel they need it to start with, whereas others may prefer to train in a group as they enjoy the challenge and atmosphere of group training. This is also a fun and great way to bring employees together through team building exercises. We offer one on one training or a maximum of 20 people per group.
Training Locations
We cover the CBD area, Sydney, the North Shore, inner West and the Eastern suburbs. We can also come to the place of work if there is a facility for training.
