Why High Performing Companies Are Replacing the Gym Stipend With On Site Wellness

Gym stipends look good on paper. In practice, they underperform.

Most employees do not use them. Others use them briefly and quit. Very few change behavior long term.

The Problem With Gym Stipends

Gym stipends fail because they:

• Require commuting and time outside work
• Offer no accountability or coaching
• Favor employees who already exercise
• Exclude those who need wellness support most

From a financial standpoint, unused stipends deliver zero return.

On Site Wellness Delivers Utilization

When wellness is brought directly to the workplace:

• Participation increases dramatically
• Sessions become social and team oriented
• Leaders set the tone through visibility
• Employees feel supported rather than pressured

Utilization is the difference between an expense and an investment.

The Traveling Trainer Advantage

Traveling Trainer brings fully equipped mobile fitness, mobility, yoga, and breathwork directly to your business. Programs are customized to your workforce and operational schedule.

This is wellness that works where your employees already are.
