Our Corporate Fitness camps are sessions of physical activity, practiced during working hours, seeking personal benefits at work.
The aim is to minimise the negative impacts arising from the sedentary life and health of the worker.
LIFE Personal Fitness Training Camps are used by various companies to show why physical activity should be encouraged and implemented.

The negative impacts of work can occur in different spheres, such as physical, psychological or social. More directly, the physical exercise produces physical benefits for the worker.
The psychological benefits (stress, power
concentration) or social (team spirit, confidence) are also quite cited in several studies.

Business benefits:
Reducing ill-health worker is synonymous with productivity growth in the company.
This assertion is verified in several ways, but the main points noted are a decrease in the occurrence of absences from work for medical reasons and also the reduction of accidents.
There are statistics citing a return three to five times over the amount applied by a company in a program of fitness and health habits, considering faults, social and other factors related to health, affecting productivity.

Physical benefits to the employee:
The benefits depend directly on the type of job performed. Most exercises try to diminish the effect of the constant request that is submitted to an employee perform a certain task, be it a physical task or not.
Thus workers who use their muscles to handle the instruments, tools or products may be served by a program of activities for labourers. For example, workers on the assembly line of a factory need specific exercises for muscle groups.
Muscle damage occurs by overuse. An example is injury of an athlete at the end of an extreme competition. After all, the workday can last up more than 10 hours, sometimes much more.
Moreover, white collar workers like clerks, secretaries, clerks, etc, frequently suffer from postural problems, muscular and visual impairments. Thus, a good programme of activities for administrative workers will help reduce injuries by such factors.

Examples of activities for labourers:
The problems experienced by this group of workers may be related to the intensity of the power they hold, or with the position they are forced to work. In both cases, a Professor of Physical Education can assess the physical demands and prescribe activities to compensate for them. For example, workers who are forced to bear the weight of a component with one arm while tightening a bolt with the other hand should periodically perform activities that relieve the tensions involved in the risk of appearing or postural muscle injuries.

Examples of activities for white collar workers:
Regardless of the activity performed, these workers have some factors in common: they work without moving (stationary or on foot) long, often subjected to stress and recovery. Examples of problems arising from such an environment are: postural problems, tendonitis, high blood pressure, etc..
