It’s a good idea and provided by the better employers such as Royal Mail, John Lewis and others. It would help if you were working somewhat less than max hours in order to take advantage of the facilities.
For me max hours I’d more then likely use cause the new place is like a 2 min drive from my home so for me it’s convienent but for others with longer commutes I can’t see them using. Office staff will be in it no doubt though
waste of time, novelty will wear off after a month and it will all be left gathering dust
My moms in the Police and I have access to a gym in the local station that opened nearly 10 years ago, some of the equipment was still wrapped up when I first went in!

That would be like Christmas for me having unwrapped gym equipment especially after my missus forced me to sell my stuff because she wanted a frigging dining table in the room haha
Someone suggested a gym for our place too. We’ve got plenty of space upstairs in the unused office space, so the company looked into it but turns out the floor would need strengthened. So that idea was put to bed. We don’t generally do loads of hours so it would have been something I’d have considered using after work. Plus I could be doing with loosing a few pounds!! [emoji44]
No chance of a gym with my lot, at our head depot especially.
They have not even got a proper civilized drivers toilet, it’s a portaloo, …or as I prefer to call it a ‘’ ■■■■ insult’’
Would be a brilliant idea for RDC’s together with clean showers and clean facilities.
Instead of waiting your life away, you could be active and clean.
Some of my customers have gym, steam rooms and subsidised canteen with healthy choices, but sadly mostly are based abroad.
The thought of a healthy mind in a healthy body is not a popular one within the Haulage industry.
It’s more one of numbers and bums on the seats.
If a company was genuine interested in his staff ( like in the past ) the industry could be so much better.
We had, and I used, one at Safeway at Welwyn. And there’s one at most Sainsbury’s sites. As previously mentioned, it’s the better employers that provide such things. I’d use it in an instant if our lot had one
Great idea and good to think the company is looking to its workers health.
If they want ideas-
weight bench with incline/decline
dumbells 7.5kg- 40kg
pec dec machine
E-Z bar for curls
Some type of pull down machine for lats/ triceps
leg press
leg extension machine
running machine
rowing machine
Only the basics but with that little lot you can do most excercises and its not likely to break the bank either…
