LBFP AT BLUPRINT FITNESS
It’s no secret that a sound wellness program built into your company culture will yield higher ROI with your employees.
At Bluprint Fitness we are committed to play a vital role improving the health of our community (West Town), creating a ripple effect that transforms the world – and our Local Business Fitness Program (LBFP) is a big part of living out this vision.
Benefits of Exercise & Employee Productivity
- Alertness & Energy: Exercise increases blood flow to the brain, which helps sharpen awareness, increases energy, and makes sure employees perform work at the top of their abilities.
- Improves Mental Health: Exercise releases serotonin – a neurotransmitter in the brain that sends messages to the body to stimulate mood and emotion. This, along with other benefits of exercise has been shown to curb feelings of anxiety/depression and make work stress easier to handle (University of Cambridge).
- Illness Prevention: Exercise has long been known to improve normal health markers – fighting off serious and minor illness on a regular basis. Fewer sick days equals increased productivity.
CASE STUDY: MARIS CONSTRUCTION
Bluprint had the opportunity to test the theory of building a wellness program into company culture with Maris Construction, a local West Town business. Over the last year (Sept. 2015 to Sept 2016) their productivity and work environment have greatly improved.
“Bluprint has, without a doubt, led to an enormous increase in productivity at Maris Construction. The story to tell is – we’ve increased revenue by 300% from 2015 (pre-Bluprint) to 2016. Because of Bluprint and our increased productivity, we’ve been able to do this without a large increase in staff.
Before Bluprint, lunches consisted of Lou Malnati’s, 3-foot Bari sub sandwiches (my favorite) with chips and soda, or fast food. Food-induced sleepiness was real, leading to a less than optimal afternoon productivity level. After joining Bluprint, employees become more health conscious. Following advice from Byron and Janelle, they started eating better and getting more sleep. The effects were almost immediate. Slow afternoons became a thing of the past and everyone who went to a 12pm class had more of a pep in their step the rest of the day.
Joining Bluprint as a company has been a winning formula for both increasing workplace productivity and increasing quality of life inside and outside of the office.”
