Supporting a Healthier, More Energised Workforce - Sanctuary Wellness

Physical Health Programmes

At Sanctuary Wellness, we understand that physical health is the foundation of overall well-being. Our Physical Health Programmes are designed to enhance energy, reduce stress, and improve focus, providing your team with practical tools to feel and perform at their best.

Each programme is tailored to suit your team's specific needs and activity levels, blending convenience with impactful, results-driven practices.

8 Reasons

Having a physically active workforce that participates in extra activities leads to a more energised workforce, leading to better organisational results. Regular movement and fitness routines contribute to better mental clarity, stress management, and overall happiness, enabling employees to show up as their best selves. By making physical health part of your corporate wellness strategy, you invest in a foundation that benefits individuals and the organisation (Grimani et al., 2019).

We believe at Sanctuary Wellness that investing in physical health yields benefits beyond the individual. Healthier employees mean fewer sick days, reduced turnover, and a more resilient and engaged team. Physical health programmes play a powerful role in creating a positive workplace culture where everyone feels valued and supported (Amlani & Munir, 2014).

Our Key Physical Health Programmes at Sanctuary Wellness

1. On-Site and Virtual Fitness Classes

One of the most effective ways to integrate physical health into daily routines is by offering regular fitness classes. At Sanctuary Wellness, we bring movement directly to your team, on-site, virtually, or through our new wellness app. From physical movement to restorative exercises, our sessions are designed for all fitness levels, making it easy for employees to stay active and feel good.

2. Corporate Yoga Sessions

Yoga is more than exercise; it’s a way to find balance and relieve stress. At Sanctuary Wellness, our corporate yoga sessions allow employees to disconnect from their busy days and reconnect with their bodies and minds. With options to join on-site, virtually, or through our app, we make it easy for employees to experience the benefits of yoga no matter where they’re working.

3. Personalised Health Coaching

At Sanctuary Wellness, we can work one-on-one with employees to create personalised fitness and wellness plans that help them reach their health goals. Through our wellness app, employees can access custom plans, track progress, and stay motivated with support from our app. This approach empowers your team to make sustainable, health-enhancing lifestyle changes.

4. Health Challenges and Incentive Programmes

What we love at Sanctuary Wellness is encouraging healthy habits and team spirit with our interactive health challenges. These initiatives increase physical activity, promote well-being, and build camaraderie, motivating employees to reach fitness milestones with the support of their colleagues. With rewards through the company and team-based goals, these challenges make wellness a fun and engaging part of your company culture.

4. Build relationships with potential customers

One of the most important aspects of starting a blog is establishing a connection with your potential customers. This can be done through engaging in conversation on your blog, posting stories about how you operate your business, or even sharing inspiring content that you think will resonate with them. These interactions also make it easier for you to keep up with what people are saying and sharing on social media.

5. The Benefits of Physical Health at Work

When you invest as a business in physical health it has long-term advantages for both employees and your organisation. Healthier employees report increased energy, better stress management, and greater overall satisfaction, leading to reduced absenteeism and higher engagement levels. Integrating physical health into your workplace builds a foundation for a resilient, motivated, and productive team.

Our Five for Boosting Wellbeing in The Workplace

  1. Prioritise Regular Physical Activity

  2. Practice Mindfulness and Relaxation

  3. Stay Hydrated and Eat Well

  4. Build Healthy Sleep Habits

  5. Connect with others and create healthy realtionships

To support your overall well-being, we have a few simple habits that can make a big difference in your life. Starting with regular physical activity, even in short bursts, does not have to be much; walking 20 minutes a day has been proven to help overall well-being. Committing to a practice such as walking or yoga helps maintain energy and reduces stress while practising mindfulness or relaxation techniques like deep breathing can keep your mind calm and focused (Kersemaekers et al., 2018).

We forget how important it is to stay hydrated and to nourish your body with balanced meals that support sustained energy throughout the day. Building healthy sleep habits ensures you wake up refreshed and ready to tackle new challenges (Ritz & Berrut, 2005).

Social connection is a basic human need, and in today's busy society, we can often feel disconnected and forget about the importance of connecting with friends, family, or colleagues, which brings a sense of community and boosts emotional health.

By prioritising these small actions, you can build a foundation of well-being that supports personal and professional growth.
