Presentation
What is Gymno'bus?
Gymno’bus is an innovative mobile sports facility designed to bring regular physical activity
directly to workplaces, particularly in areas with limited access to sports infrastructure. Our
specially equipped truck provides employees with access to a variety of high-quality sports
equipment and structured exercise sessions tailored to different needs and fitness levels. The
sessions are led by certified sports educators specialized in workplace fitness, ensuring that
every participant, regardless of their experience, can benefit from physical activity in a safe
and effective manner.
The Gymno’bus approach is designed to integrate seamlessly into the workday, offering flexible
and engaging activities that help employees stay active without disrupting their professional
responsibilities. By creating an accessible and convenient space for exercise, Gymno’bus fosters
a culture of health and wellness directly within the workplace.
As part of the ERASMUS+ Sport program, Gymno'bus is dedicated to researching and promoting the benefits of workplace physical activity. Our work focuses on how structured exercise programs can enhance employee health, increase productivity, and improve job satisfaction. The project is supported by a diverse and experienced consortium, including:
- The Municipality of Águeda (Portugal), which provides expertise in community-driven health initiatives.
- Copenhagen University (Denmark), a leading institution in health and sports sciences, contributing research and scientific validation.
- The European Federation for Company Sport (EFCS), promoting corporate well-being through sports initiatives across Europe.
- Ligue Centre-Val de Loire du Sport d’Entreprise (France), ensuring local implementation and alignment with workplace wellness strategies.
This collaboration enables Gymno'bus to create evidence-based, sustainable solutions that encourage a more active and healthier workforce throughout Europe.
- Health Improvement: Regular physical activity is proven to reduce stress, improve mental well-being, and prevent chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. According to the National Health Insurance, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) account for 87% of occupational diseases, making workplace fitness programs essential in reducing long-term health issues.
- Increased Productivity: Employees who engage in regular physical activity demonstrate higher levels of concentration, improved cognitive function, and enhanced problem-solving abilities. A more active workforce contributes to greater overall efficiency and reduced absenteeism.
- Stronger Team Cohesion: Sports and physical activities provide opportunities for employees from different departments to connect, improving communication and collaboration. Team-building exercises and friendly competition encourage a sense of community, enhancing workplace morale and cooperation.
Through our partnership with ERASMUS+ Sport, Gymno'bus aims to:
- Assess the impact of workplace physical activity on employee health and overall workplace well-being through data-driven research and case studies.
- Develop adaptable and scalable exercise programs that cater to various professional environments, ensuring inclusivity for all fitness levels.
- Raise awareness and advocate for movement integration in daily work life by demonstrating the long-term benefits of active workplaces.
- Provide training and resources for companies to implement sustainable wellness programs, empowering organizations to support employee health effectively.
Gymno'bus offers a range of structured and engaging activities designed to accommodate the needs of employees across various industries:
- Prevention and Wellness Programs: Muscle strengthening, posture correction workshops, and stress-reducing exercises designed to minimize work-related health risks.
- Recreational and Relaxation Sessions: Including Pilates, stretching, Tai Chi, Boxing Fit, and Nordic walking, helping employees unwind and stay active.
- Flexible On-Site and Remote Solutions (@work) : Combining in-person coaching with digital tools and resources to ensure long-term engagement and accessibility for all employees.
