We are hosting a Towel Amnesty Week! Simply bring your towels or wash clothes back in and drop them in the laundry chute. No judgments, please and thank you.
Health & Friendships
Good Friends Are Good For Your Health...
Studies have shown, and many we have done here, that one of the best methods to finishing a fitness goal is to get a friend to go along with you. Accountability is very important, but it becomes even more productive when your accountability partner is someone you already have a relationship with. Setting a health goal and working together to achieve it is also a great way to build and strengthen the bond. This is a creative way for workplace wellness to enhance working relationships. And it's a good way to bring more juice out of you when you are competing against friends!
Mayo Clinic observed these benefits:
- Increase your sense of belonging and purpose
- Boost your happiness and reduce your stress
- Improve your self-confidence and self-worth
- Help you cope with traumas, such as divorce, serious illness, job loss or the death of a loved one
- Encourage you to change or avoid unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as excessive drinking or lack of exercise
Give Buddy or Group Training a try!

Ab Exercise of the Week: Suspended Jack Knife
