Exercise on office days
A challenge for many employers is finding ways to attract employees back to the office from remote work. The pandemic changed the norm, forcing everyone to work remotely, and many workplaces continued this practice even after restrictions eased.

ELIXIA offers companies the option to purchase guided group fitness classes for their employees. This is an excellent way to show employees that their well-being matters and to encourage them to come to the office.
Outi Kymäläinen, Asset Manager at Trevian, mentions that the Move building in Pitäjänmäki provides an excellent setting for group fitness classes, as ELIXIA Pitäjänmäki operates in the same building.
At the Move building, the landlord offers a weekly group fitness class at ELIXIA for the staff of tenant companies. The classes vary, including yoga, indoor cycling, or gym introductions.
These company fitness sessions are scheduled in the mornings, during lunch breaks, or after work, making it easy to integrate them into office visits and workdays. If you spend a lot of time sitting and don’t exercise in the evenings either, the impact of a sedentary lifestyle becomes evident in your health. Finnish adults spend about ¾ of their day sitting or lying down, excluding sleep time (Kunnonkartta 2018). This isn’t a problem unique to Finland; it’s seen in many other countries as well.
