My crush on Stephen Bartlett continues. FLIGHT just launched a free office gym. And honestly? Every founder should be taking notes. Here’s why this isn’t just a “perk”, it’s smart leadership: In Sydney, a gym session can easily come with a 40 minute round trip. And that’s before you’ve spent 20 minutes fighting for a car park. For working parents? Forget it. Evenings are a sprint from laptops to laundry to Brussel sprout negotiations with small humans. Single parents don’t wind down, they crash-land. So making movement frictionless during the workday isn’t just convenient. I’s an act of kindness. It says: ?? “I care about your mental health.” ? “I see your time as valuable.” ???? “Your energy is an asset, not a trade-off.” And it reinforces a truth more founders need to hear: Culture is built in the micro-decisions. Not bean bags or slogans. Not perks to impress candidates. But stuff that makes your team’s actual lives better. That is how you build loyalty. Well played, Stephen, you’ve nailed it. #FounderLife #ExecutionMatters #HighPerformance #Wellbeing #ParentingAndPlanking #LeadershipThatLifts
Today we opened FLIGHT GYM! A free gym in our office for all of our team... here is why EVERY founder should prioritise well-being perks???? ?? You're giving your team a pay rise and their life back: One of our team members, Molly O'Brien told me she's now saving 45 minutes per day traveling to her gym and ￡250 a month by cancelling her gym membership. That's 195 hours (8 days) and ￡3,000 back in her pocket every year! ?? Energy creates energy: Data shows team members who exercise during work hours are 23% more productive on those days! ?? Barriers removed = habits formed: 73% of team members say they'd exercise more with an on-site gym! ?? Healthier teams: Companies with workplace wellness programs see 28% reduction in sick days! ?? Hiring will be easier: 87% of team members consider health and wellness offerings when choosing an employer. ?? It signals what you value: Our mission at FLIGHTSTORY is focused on creating a happier healthier humanity through the media we create and companies we back and build. So happiness and health needs to start at home. In my last company we built a free pub in the office ??, at FLIGHTSTORY our team wanted a free gym ????♂? - from pints to planks - how times are changing! Gym vs. Pub in the office - which would your team choose? ??
Rachel WingMan this is exactly what you do to help corporations and businesses incorporate wellness into their workplace.
This is the kind of leadership that actually understands real life. Big yes to making energy and wellbeing part of the culture, not just a checklist.
