About Active Workplaces
The Active Workplace Project is a three year project. Its aim is to increase adult participation in physical activity to staff at three of Southampton‘s largest employers. The third year of the project will see the scheme offered to small and medium sized businesses in the city to help get their workforces more active.
Activities such as sailing, boxercise, yoga, Pilates, stretch and flex, running club, Tai Chi, body conditioning, hula hooping, zumba and netball will be organised and take place before work, at lunchtime and after your working day. Activities will make use of empty meeting rooms and office space near you to make exercise easy to take part in and give you something to do in your lunch break. A timetable is available for you to download in the 'downloadable documents' section below. All you need to do is choose one of the options below.
