What inactivity costs you

Zoom out from one person to the whole team, and the numbers get serious.

01 · Educate

Why a fit workplace wins

People don’t hide what their company openly values. We show the whole team why movement matters at work, so taking two minutes to move looks like doing the job well, not skipping it.

  1. 1Lunch and learnA 30-minute talk on sitting, posture and the back.
  2. 2Routine GuideEvery employee gets the 90-second guide on their phone.
  3. 3Desk demosCoach-led moves your team can copy in office clothes.

02 · Align

Align fitness with business goals

When fitness is a personal goal and targets are a work goal, work wins every time. We turn movement into a shared team goal that sits next to the business goals, so both get time.

  1. 1Set a team goalOne simple objective, agreed with the manager.
  2. 2Track it weeklyTeam-level numbers only. No weigh-ins, no rankings.
  3. 3Review quarterlyAlongside your other goals, in the same meeting.

Link every business goal to a movement habit

💼Focused, productive afternoons

These are goals and habits, not guaranteed results. The research section below shows what the evidence does and doesn’t support.

Smart scheduling does the remembering

Workouts get scheduled around the actual workday: meeting patterns, free gaps and the time of day. Nobody has to remember, and nobody has to find the time.

  1. 1Connect the calendarWorks with the calendar your team already uses.
  2. 2We find the gapsShort breaks land between meetings, never on top of them.
  3. 3Move for 2 minutesA nudge arrives with a coach-led move for that moment.

Research-proven benefits

Primary sources only, with the size of the effect stated honestly.

Enhanced cognitive function

Sharper after a single session

79 studies

A single bout of exercise gave a small but consistent boost to cognitive performance, during, right after and even later.

Chang et al., Brain Research, 2012 [7]
More energy, less fatigue

Even breaks of 10 min or less

22 studies

Micro-breaks gave small but significant boosts in vigor and reductions in fatigue. Their effect on task performance was not statistically significant.

Albulescu et al., PLOS ONE, 2022 [5]
83 min

Less sitting per workday after 12 months for office workers in a program to break up sitting, with better self-reported job performance and engagement, and less presenteeism and fatigue.

Edwardson et al., BMJ, 2018 [4]
5.2 h

Productive time lost per week, on average, by workers whose back or joint pain cost them work time. Most of it happened while they were at their desks.

Stewart et al., JAMA, 2003 [3]
!

What the evidence doesn’t promise

In the trial that cut sitting by 83 minutes, sick-day absence did not change [4]. A large randomized trial of a broad workplace wellness program found better exercise habits but no change in health spending, absenteeism or job performance after 18 months [6]. So we don’t sell fewer sick days. The case is less sitting, more energy and better focus at the desk, and that’s what the calculator estimates.

Method: employees × share affected × hours lost a week × 46 working weeks × hourly pay (salary ÷ 1,950 h). Stewart et al. measured lost time over two weeks in a US workforce; we treat it as the share affected in a typical week. This estimates the value of lost productive time, not guaranteed cash savings.
