The team that sweats together, stays together. Every corporate retreat boils down to a moment that’s staged for the sole purpose of bonding everyone with the shared experience. Trouble is, at least half the group’s scrolling through their phones. And the other half’s thinking about it.

But there’s no hiding during a group fitness session. And with every drop of sweat and grunt and groan grows a genuine respect among everyone there. We endured together. Even more, when a company becomes about more than the work, it becomes more than a job.
