Does your company have one?
If not, do they pay for in part or in full for your gym memberships..

No and no.
I had a weight bench in the warehouse for a while. It's still back there, but now it's crammed in a corner.
They actually considered getting a corp. membership to the gym down the street, but all the higher ups have memberships to country club fitness centers, so it got struck down.

The company I work for has a fitness program that pays for half of your membership up to $500 per year.
They are planning on putting in a fitness center sometime in the future..

Why?  I wish more corporations had fitness centers as they are really such a benefit to the employees. Healthier/happier employees makes for a better, more productive work environment. I offer discounted memberships through my business plan beginning at just 3 members. I also offer a discounted membership to teachers/educators.
oops, I replied!

Why? |
They say it is an 'Employee' benefit. The new building I'm working in has showers in the bathroom. So, when I can run again, some nice mid-day runs are in order.

I've tried and tried and tried.
Me walking around in my running shorts is not throwing the hint, evidently.

Yes, and in full.
They also bring in contractors that teach pilates, yoga, spin classes, and plyometrics. You have to pay for the last two, but it's only about $60 for 6 months.
This is one of the big reasons that I haven't left the company yet.

That's because you're walking in them. Try running in them. I'm willing to bet that your times would improve too.
