Even though it is essential for us to all be as fit as we can, it can be hard to find time to get to a gym regularly. This is why many companies have made the decision to set up a gym at the workplace. Here is some advice on getting the correct fitness machines for gym at office.

There are so many advantages of having a gym set-up at your office, not the least of which is the time-saving factor. Your employees will be thrilled. They will not have to wake at the crack of dawn and rush off to the gym for a workout before getting to the office. And they will not need to rush off the minute the work day ends.

They will be able to build a more structured life for themselves. This will not only benefit them but you, as an employer, will actually get more from them on the work front. Your employees can have a good workout before work starts, during a lunch break or even after work.

The cost of setting up a gym at the office will depend on the number of people on your pay roll, and what equipment you want to install. If you have a small staff complement, your set-up would be quite similar to a home gym. In this case you would be looking at around the $10,000 to $15,000 mark.

Another factor that will determine what type of equipment you buy is the space area of the gym. For example, assume you have 40 or 50 employees who are likely to use the facilities, and your gym area is about 1000 square feet, you could expect to pay about $50,000 on second hand equipment. You do not have to buy new items as this would push your costs up heavily.

When it comes to the type of equipment for the gym, this will again depend on whether you want to kit it out with a few basic necessities, or offer your workers really professional facilities. Do not go overboard with massive expenses just for a few diehards who want to chisel out Schwarzenegger bodies. The average man or women will just want to have a healthy workout on basic equipment.

An absolute must is a couple of good motorized treadmills. Half an hour on a treadmill once a day is a great way of keeping in shape. It also provides excellent cardio exercise, so you will find this a very popular piece of equipment in your gym. New treadmills sell for about $2,000 – $3,000.

Some stationary exercise bicycles will also be necessary. You can expect to pay from $150 up to $5,000 per bike, depending on the various functions offered. These will also prove extremely popular especially with your lady employees because this type of exercise promotes weight loss.

Other items that you can include in your set-up include a bench press, weights, and an elliptical trainer. Of course there are many other gym items available, but these are the most essential. You will also need to provide shower and change room facilities on your premises.
