Wellness Committee Ideas

I've asked this awhile back when I joined my company's wellness committee, and now bringing it back for fresh new ideas.

What does your company do to help with your fitness goals? Maybe a past company, or something you would like to see offered.

I have been lobbying for subsidized gym memberships, but it's a hard sell. I'm looking especially for something "fun and exciting" to get others motivated to succeed in improving their health and wellness.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

    Sorry, not exciting. It looks like a smoking cessation program modeled by the leadership of the company might have an impact.

    Our company has subsidised lunchtime yoga once a week (works out cheap when you have a group of people willing to stump up $5 a session for it)
    We also have 10,000 step month where they hand out (very) cheap pedometers and encourage people to form teams and compete
    They also subsidise entry fees for certain charity fun runs

    My old company did this cool thing where they got a stationary bike for each of the 4 floors they had in the building and ran a competition whereby the floor with the most km clocked on their bike by a certain time got a big morning tea put on for them.
