Creating healthier, happier and more connected communities since 1991
3d leisure designs, staffs and runs workplace wellbeing facilities for UK employers. We have done that since 1991. The instructors and managers on your site are employed by us, not self-employed contractors booked by the session.
3d leisure is one of the UK’s leading health, fitness and wellbeing management companies, operating over 150 facilities nationwide.
We don’t believe in off-the-shelf solutions. Every service we deliver is tailored to our clients, their people and their goals. Backed by over 35 years of experience and a hands-on leadership team, we create inspiring wellbeing environments that people genuinely want to use.
What workplace wellbeing management involves
Most employers come to us at one of two points. Either you are creating a workplace gym from scratch and want it designed around how your people actually work, or you already have one and it is not being used the way you hoped. We have set out the ten steps for the first, and a straightforward review process for the second.
From there the work splits three ways. We specify the space and the equipment that goes in it. We recruit and employ the team who run it day to day. And we build the employee wellbeing programme around it: a wellbeing strategy, health checks, employee wellbeing surveys, and the Wellness 360 service that connects them. There is a longer answer to why employers outsource rather than staffing a gym in-house.
Frequently asked questions
Workplace wellbeing management is running an employer’s fitness and wellbeing provision as a managed service. The provider designs the facility. It recruits and employs the staff who run it. It delivers the programme that keeps people using it. The employer keeps the benefit without taking on the operation.
It depends on whether fitness management is something you want to be good at. An in-house gym needs recruitment, cover, qualifications, insurance and health and safety compliance in a field most employers do not work in. Outsourcing moves that to a specialist. Where it goes wrong is when a provider staffs a site with self-employed contractors, which is why we employ our instructors and managers directly.
A corporate wellness programme usually combines facility-based activity, classes in person and on demand, health checks and wellbeing surveys. The surveys establish what people actually want before anything is bought. A reporting line back to HR justifies the spend. Very few employers need all of it on day one.
A workplace wellbeing programme is measured on usage and engagement first. A facility nobody visits cannot deliver anything else. Beyond that: survey scores before and after, health check trends across the workforce, and whatever the organisation already reports on absence and retention.
We do. Our instructors and managers are employed by 3d leisure, not self-employed contractors brought in per session. It means consistent cover, managed training and one point of accountability for the site.
