Looking for a breakthrough in your professional life? Find out how the  many gyms at Elephant and Castle can give your career a jumpstart:

Unless you’re very lucky, chances are you have days at work that leave you pulling your hair out. But if you integrate the gym into your daily routine, you’ll find that stressful days become much less frequent. Exercising has been shown to hugely boost your mental health, a fulfilling distraction that helps you better manage the daily stresses of life. Whenever work feels overwhelming, trust the gym to offer a calming influence.

Developing confidence is crucial for a successful career, giving you the courage to speak up, take new challenges, and push yourself to be better. If you are someone who struggles with confidence, regular exercise could give you the boost you need. Gym doesn’t just make you look good - it makes you feel good about yourself, and gives you a sense of self-belief that you can take into working life.

Staying in one space all the time isn’t the best way to be a productive worker. But if you become a regular at your local gym, you’ll find that your productivity increases tenfold. Regular exercise has been proven to increase focus, sharpen cognitive function, and enhance overall mental clarity. By incorporating gym sessions into your routine, you'll find yourself returning to your work with renewed energy and a sharper mind.

Is there a problem at work that has you stumped? Head to the gym, and you might be encouraged to tackle it from a different angle. While sitting in the same office space can be quite stifling for creativity,  studies have shown that people who are walking or running experienced a big jump in creative output. So if you need a way to get those creative juices flowing, the gym could have your back!

Gyms might not be the first place you think to network in, but you’ll be surprised just how easy it can be. After all, professionals from all sorts of industries use the gym as a place to unwind, and strike up conversations over a mutual love of pumping iron. In the relaxed setting of a gym, you could open up doors to new opportunities and maybe even a spontaneous career switch.
