It’s ironic that the very thing that can relieve stress for you and your employees and make everyone more productive and efficient at work often causes a great deal of stress due to the logistics of fitting a workout into the middle of a hectic business day.

At the same time, most people can’t drag themselves out of a nice warm bed at 5:00 a.m. to go for a brisk early morning jog. And we’re all just too tired when we finally get off work to face a stair stepper or treadmill at the local fitness center.

But the evidence in favor of exercise continues to mount as study after study finds that people’s moods brighten significantly on days when they work out – reducing stress and significantly improving productivity, which goes straight to your company’s bottom line.

Jog Down the Hall
What’s the solution? For the businesses at Fremont Business Park, it’s easy. Just jog (or take a brisk walk) down the hall in Building 42840 Christy Street to the office complex’s own fitness center. The center is available exclusively for tenants in any building to use before, after – or most importantly – during business hours.

The well-equipped facility has cardio equipment and free weights, as well as men’s and women’s showers and changing rooms. Without the lost time driving to and from an offsite fitness center, employees can get in a good workout and get back to their desks on their lunch hour – or between appointments or conference calls. Even if they exercise during the workday, most employees are willing to come in earlier, stay later, or are just so much more efficient that they more than make up for the time.

This is particularly true for businesses that have clients in Asia or Europe. Employees are often more willing to start work early or stay later to meet with other team members or make presentations to customers overseas, when the long hours don’t mean they will have to miss their workout.

Businesses Jumping at the Chance
Businesses such as CoaguSense, which recently renewed its lease at Fremont Business Park, have cited having an on-site fitness facility as an important amenity for its employees. The emerging growth company, which makes and markets an innovative, home care-monitoring device for patients on extended anticoagulant therapy for blood clots, is able to position the on-site gym as one of the benefits of working for the firm. In an environment where it still remains a challenge to attract high-quality employees, offering an easy way for dedicated people to get their workouts in can be seen as a real plus.

Fremont Business Park has just completed the latest in its continuing improvements by upgrading to a keyless electronic entry system at all common area access points in the three-building complex. All nine entry points on the ground floor are now electronic – as well as the state-of-the-art fitness center and common conference room – with each business allocated several electronic fobs for employees who need to enter before or after regular hours (Mon. – Fri. 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.).

Improved Security
The electronic system is much more difficult to foil than a traditional lock-and-key system, providing a considerably higher level of security into the complex. The system tracks data tag IDs, so there’s a record of who entered the buildings or used the fitness center or conference room.

In addition, if an employee happens to leave a business and takes an electronic fob with him or her, it’s easy to simply disable that fob – rather than have to try to get a key returned or worry about whether the former employee has made copies.

TEAM Christy a Prime Benefit for Primerica
Primerica is a financial services company that strives to help families become properly protected, debt-free and financially independent. The company sells a variety of financial products including variable annuities and term-life insurance, long-term care insurance, mutual funds, and pre-paid legal plans.

Eve Meyer has been with Primerica for almost 18 years, and is currently a Regional Vice President. Nearly nine years ago, she moved her offices to Fremont Business Park at Christy Street – a building managed and marketed by Borelli Investment Company – and through good and bad economic times, she’s been here ever since.

“I’ve had chances to leave over the years,” said Meyer. “But the location is just outstanding – with easy commutes and easy access to dining, shopping and services. The recent building renovation has created a beautiful, modern building. And I’ve really appreciated building management. Every individual has been among the most wonderful and helpful people I’ve ever met.”

Flexibility to Address Changing Needs
Borelli Investment Company has responded to Eve’s changing space needs over the years, as business conditions have warranted.

“The building owners have always been very accommodating,” stated Meyer. “When we’ve needed more space, they’ve found that. And when we needed to downsize a bit, they’ve helped us do that.”

TEAM Christy Is Latest Benefit for Primerica
TEAM Christy is a business-acceleration and leadership development group that’s available at no additional charge to all Christy Street tenants. The group’s monthly meetings are led by Sterling Lanier, a certified chairman with Vistage International, the world’s leading organization for CEOs and business owners. Meyer sees this as another key benefit of being a tenant at Fremont Business Park.

“The more like-minded people you can get-together, the more vision it brings to the table,” Meyer explained. “That expression, ‘You don’t know what you don’t know’ is so true. When you’re running a business, it’s especially beneficial to be part of a group of people facilitated by someone like Sterling with such vast experience – he really knows how to get the best out of each of us.”

Highly Valuable for Small to Medium-Sized Business Owners
Meyer has strong opinions about why she thinks Vistage can benefit companies like those locating in Fremont Business Park at Christy Street.

“As a CEO or business owner, when you’re accountable only to yourself, it’s easy to let yourself off the hook,” she said. “One of the things we’ve done in TEAM Christy’s trusted, confidential environment is to commit to the other participants what our business goals are, and then work hard to achieve those.

“We also get to re-evaluate our leadership techniques and re-examine our vision for the future,” added Meyer. “With other participants coming from different points of view, it opens your mind to new perspectives and additional possibilities.”

As to the fact that the monthly TEAM Christy sessions are provided at no charge to building tenants, Meyer remarks, “I’m just so grateful to building management for putting on something like TEAM Christy at no cost. I think it’s amazing! It’s much appreciated and very generous, and is another example of why I’ve kept my Primerica office at Fremont Business Park for all these years.”
