Benefits of fitness What do BlueSkies offer?
On-site fitness solutions Remote fitness solutions
BlueSkies understand that most people could do with more than 24 hours per day! Fitting all of our commitments into those few hours can be tough and activity and exercise are often the elements that get dropped down the priority list.
However, BlueSkies know how important exercise and activity are for everyone and it is for this reason that we have developed our Workplace Fitness Solutions.
The benefits of fitness
Fitness is important for so many reasons! For employers and employees alike, being fit offers a multitude of benefits from increased productivity to decrease absenteeism, from improved feelings of well-being to reduced stress levels.
Employer benefits
Sick days cost the UK economy over £12billion per year! Research proves that fitter workforces take fewer days sick leave, saving companies millions of pounds every year. By introducing employee fitness solutions, you could:
- Reduce rates of absenteeism by up to 30% (source:Sport England)
- Increase levels of productivity by up to 10% (source:Tasman Asia Pacific)
- Reduce medical claims from high-risk employees by up to 50% (source:Steelcase)
- Experience up to a four-fold return on your investment (source:The Travelers Corporation)
In addition to this, you will be creating a healthier, happier workforce who will be more loyal to your company.
Employee benefits
Fitter, more active people experience many benefits compared to their less fit, inactive counterparts. For example, they may have:
- Lower blood pressure
- Lower cholesterol levels
- Decreased heart disease risk
- Decreased risk of certain cancers
- Decreased risk of diabetes
- A healthier body weight
- A more positive outlook on life
- Lower stress levels
- Decreased back pain and joint problems
All of these factors, and more, can be achieved through regular activity and exercise and they will go a long way to improving a person's quality of life.

Remote fitness solutions
BlueSkies have developed a remote fitness solution specifically for corporate clients that allows employers and employees to simultaneously invest in their productivity, health, fitness and well-being.
This solution takes into account that each of your employees will have different needs, abilities and goals and it enables them to access BlueSkies expertise and services on-line.
In order for employees to benefit from BlueSkies, the employer will need to sign up to a corporate membership package - these start from as little as £1 per employee per year! Each employee who wishes to benefit from the corporate membership will also need to sign with prices starting from just £1 per month!
We have devised 3 levels of corporate membership - Bronze, Silver & Gold - each requiring a different investment from employers and employees. The following table highlights the benefits of each of these corporate packages.
