Exercise is healthy and one of the most important building blocks for a strong immune system. Especially in these times, it is important to pay enough attention to it, especially as an employer. Why? A healthy and thus motivated, less stressed employee counts for two.

Corporate fitness with OneFit for Business helps to keep your company healthy and fit. It is a good way to get employees to exercise more and therefore increase productivity in the office.

In this blog, we look back at 2020: a turbulent year in which OneFit’s sports offerings became extra hybrid with a mix of off- and online classes. Below are the most popular sports practiced by OneFit for Business members in 2020.

1. Open training

By far the most check-ins last year were done for Open training, also known as “drop-in” workouts. The freedom of open training, deciding yourself how to work out in the gym and its flexibility is very popular with OneFit for Business members, taking up 17.4% of the total number of check-ins.

Open training offers a freedom that most group classes don’t: the member can choose when they want to exercise and not necessarily be tied to a time slot. Just book a time slot and go! (Disclaimer: during corona, this works slightly differently, but the flexibility remains!)

2. Yoga

The sport that is chasing open training from a glorious second place is yoga, with 16.3% of total check-ins. Not surprising really, since yoga is good for a lot of things and helps with stress-release, relaxation, and a strong mind for example.

Employees are aware of those benefits and really like to choose yoga as a workout. It’s also a very accessible sport, which makes it easy and fun to take a yoga class together with colleagues. Because of the large selection of yoga classes in the OneFit app, there’s always a workout within reach, either from the office or the home office.

3. HIIT

High-intensity workouts are popular because you can do an incredibly effective workout in a short amount of time. HIIT workouts take up 14.7% of all check-ins in the past year. During such a class, you work on strength and conditioning at the same time. Endurance is key here!

Because such a class is extremely satisfying and involves a lot of hard work in 45 minutes, it’s a popular workout among employees. Go in and let go of a hard day’s work or refuel energy for a busy day ahead.

4. Cycling/spinning

It’s impossible to imagine today’s sports world without spinning. The spinning gyms are shooting out of the ground and there is a reason for that: during a 45-minute spinning class you give 200%. Your stamina is key here and all the major muscle groups in the body are trained at the same time. Not surprisingly, 9.6% of check-ins in 2020 were for this sport.

Yet another workout in which a maximum result can be achieved in a short period of time. Probably because it is also a great workout to do together with a OneFit buddy or in this case a colleague.

5. Barre

Especially popular amongst women: Barre. A sport that combines ballet and Pilates in an intensive class. Especially the muscles of the lower body are trained and shaped. A fun way to get a good muscle workout without prior knowledge of ballet!

Incredibly popular in 2020 and therefore in fifth place among corporate fitness members with 4.1% of check-ins. Barre is a workout that can also be easily done at home during an online class – making it approachable in many ways.
