Easy access to a fitness club is one of the best benefits a company can provide. And having a state-of-the-art facility like ours is an added incentive for working out.” The fitness complex includes an indoor heated swimming pool and a full array of top-line cardio and strength training machines. The Spa also offers personal training, more than 50 pieces of computerized cardiovascular equipment, private swim classes, a dedicated cycling room, spacious locker rooms with free towel service, and a strength equipment and free weight area. Busy moms and dads appreciate the added convenience of free childcare available in the facility’s Kids Club, and the pool schedule includes special swim times for youngsters. Parents can book the pool for private swim lessons or birthday parties, which include hosted activities, food and beverages. A lineup of almost 60 exercise classes each week allows guests to customize fitness programs for their interests and schedules. Diverse class offerings include body sculpting, kickboxing, Pilates, Zumba, spinning and STEP. Aquacise in the pool is offered daily and is a great way to exercise without impact. Many mind/body classes focus on Pilates, yoga, stretch and Tai Chi, while gentle classes provide a less strenuous workout. “We are committed to providing a best-in-class facility for all our members,” said Martin. “Our signature exercise classes, immaculate facilities and white-glove service help to create a true resort feeling for all of Glenpointe’s tenants.” The Spa’s popularity reflects a growing awareness of the bottom-line value of corporate health and fitness programs. According to the Wellness Council of America, traditional job and career development are just the beginning of helping an employee reach full potential. Personal and physical well-being, selfcare and work/life enrichment are all aspects of individual and organizational growth.
