“Physical activity plays an important role in employees’ health, well-being, and quality of life, according to Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Employees who are healthier, it said in a 2023 Guide for Employers, are more productive, require less sick leave, and have lower healthcare costs.

Snap Fitness’s Cubao branch, which operates 24/7, aims to cater to individuals looking to squeeze in a workout in their schedule, its chief executive officer Vanessa Orendain said.

“”Schedule and availability don’t matter—just find the time and get moving. You don’t need a full 30-minute workout; even 15 minutes makes a difference,”” Ms. Orendain said.

Work out “for the feeling,” she added, and not just for aesthetic results.
