In a new world of hybrid working, where organisations are still trying to gauge how their teams will function and how many people will ever be back in the office together at once, the flexible office market has become the perfect place to test out the waters.
As such, it has become abundantly clear it’s more important than ever for office space to provide important additional extras, helping create a complete and beneficial working environment and making an office more than just a workspace.
One way this can easily be achieved is through access to an onsite gym. With the cost-of-living skyrocketing, the ability to offer staff and team members access to free facilities such as these becomes both a golden ticket in helping to satisfy current team members, but also a way of attracting new talent.
In the last two years where access to public sports facilities and health centres were restricted due to lockdowns; having a gym only a couple of steps away from your office acts as a great welcome call to those wishing to let off steam pre, middle or post working day. Want to improve mood and productivity? This could be a simple and cost-effective fix.

Nestled closely to Fulham Green, these recently refurbished flexible offices in SW6 offer both a high-quality work environment, as well as associated gym space.

After a pre-work session you can easily refuel with a short trip down to the ground floor to enjoy the onsite café with extensive menu options.
