Sport & Wellbeing at work at Morning

International studies have revealed a striking reality: office workers reportedly spend 75 to 80% of their time sitting down. Faced with this finding, MPs Karl Olive (Renaissance) and Claudia Rouaux (PS) presented a report aimed at promoting sport at work, which they consider a major public health issue.

Wellbeing at work is among the most important concerns for employers. With this in mind, many companies offer their teams sport classes and “wellbeing / relaxation” sessions within their own offices.

These initiatives, rolled out in the workplace, naturally help some employees to (re)take up sport at work and pay more attention to their physical health. But having the facilities close at hand also saves a considerable amount of time on the home-work-gym commute and supports a healthy work-life balance. This combination of factors also helps to improve teams’ mental health.

Well aware of all these issues, the Morning team offers all its occupants a constantly evolving Sport & Wellbeing programme. Members have access to sport classes at work and wellbeing sessions across the whole Morning estate, whatever their space. Here are the details of our programmes.

To recharge your batteries and let go!

What could be more important than our physical and mental health? Stepping away from screens, clearing your mind, blowing off steam, doing yourself some good, working up a proper sweat. All of these things should be part of your routine to look after your balance. So do the sensible thing and take care of yourself. Our entire offer is on the Morning app.

Sport at work, 
a case of legitimate expense

The Morning network boasts numerous fully equipped gyms: mats, dumbbells, showers, towels, changing rooms, and more. Equipment made available for individual or group practice. Some spaces are even fitted with weight machines and Dynamo bikes. We provide our members with a complete and varied sports programme, available across our 15 dedicated gyms.

☞ Weekly sessions
Every week, nearly 60 sport sessions are held across our various gyms. Boxing, yoga, HIIT, strength training… Daily and varied sessions, each lasting 45 minutes, across every discipline, letting you work up a sweat and unwind in the morning (a handful of classes), at lunchtime and/or in the evening after a good day’s work. 

☞ With certified coaches
Our 18 coaches, carefully selected by Jérémy, our head of sport, are all certified and passionate about what they do. Their expertise and enthusiasm guarantee you high-quality sessions, tailored to your needs and your goals.

Our squad of loyal coaches builds a lasting bond with all the sports enthusiasts across our workspaces. Everyone chooses their discipline to make progress throughout the year!

☞ From the Morning app
You have access to every sport session across all our spaces, directly in the Morning app. Simplicity and accessibility are the watchwords of our sports programme.

The challenge we have set ourselves is this: to be able to offer every member working in our spaces several sport sessions at work each week and wellbeing appointments (e.g. chair massages) each month, organised on a case-by-case basis in certain spaces. 

The sport programme also includes plenty of team get-togethers to share the buzz and enjoy a convivial collective moment. For example, two years running, we organised the Championne Ligue, a football tournament bringing together several teams of Morning members.

Wellbeing, 
Doing nothing: the best thing to do.

On top of this, we make it a point of honour that everyone can treat themselves to a moment of relaxation, just for them, each month: this is what we call the wellbeing appointment, also included in the Morning experience. The aim: to enjoy a moment of relaxation during the working day and take care of yourself. 

On the programme: massage, meditation, relaxation. All with certified experts. (Read also: Meditation at work, with Bloom)

☞ A varied range of treatments
Various treatments are on offer – wellbeing and meditation, but also beauty. Chair massage sessions, acupressure, palm reflexology, and more. 

☞ Bespoke offerings
Our team is on hand to listen to your needs and put together tailor-made sessions. In partnership with our very best partners, we will offer you a programme suited to your organisation. 

☞ HR support
Morning and its partners support you in your thinking around quality of life at work and musculoskeletal disorders. Your team’s health is a day-to-day priority.

Because we are convinced that a good day at work must include a moment to relax, blow off steam or push yourself, we have built the sport & wellbeing offer into our bespoke services for businesses. Much like the fit-out side of things, we work with teams to define the sport & wellbeing rituals that suit them best… and to put them into practice day after day. Indeed, to improve wellbeing at work, the Morning team has formed a partnership with the meditation studio Bloom.

And what’s next?

There is no shortage of projects. We want to keep broadening the offer so that everyone can find their own sport & wellbeing ritual at work, and to keep organising inter-space sporting events: marathons, challenges, team sports, and more. 

For 2025, we are also going to add a climbing wall and ice baths to give our clients a brand-new experience, along with a SEASONLY massage cabin.
