# Fitness-Focused Workspaces This Bangkok Office Features Exercise-Friendly Elements and Equipment By Jana Pijak | Published 2017-07-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bangkok-office References: [frameweb](https://www.frameweb.com/news/monkey-business) & [onion.co.th](http://onion.co.th/) Architecture firm [Onion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramelised-onion-brioche-buns) is the creative force behind this Bangkok office with a fitness-friendly design. The health-conscious workspace is not only designed to encourage open communication, collaboration, and productivity, but is also accented with [built-in gym equipment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ottagono) throughout. Designed for an IT firm, the Inteltion office is a space that encourages staff to take a breather, stretch, or break a sweat in between projects -- resulting in less stagnant habits and more fitness throughout the day. From ceiling-hung monkey bars -- a playground staple that is not only fun but also essential when developing upper body strength -- to a mini boxing gym space, and even gymnastic loops that aid with balance, this office is fitness-friendly and interactive. In addition to its fitness-themed elements, the Bangkok office doesn't reject functionality, fusing [open concept work and lounge spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/officetopia), with enclosed meeting rooms that ensure privacy. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.9/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fitness-friendly Workspaces:** The design of workplaces are going beyond cubicles, and incorporating active lifestyle choices for their employees. - **Collaborative Gyms in Offices:** Offices are starting to include collaborative gyms for their employees that double as a place for employee bonding. - **Gym Equipment in Offices:** Offices are incorporating more gym equipment into their workspace, creating an enticing atmosphere for their active employees. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Architectural Services:** There is an opportunity for architectural firms to offer services that focus on incorporating fitness elements into workspace design, creating healthier and more productive environments for the clients. - **IT Services:** IT firms can invest in implementing gym equipment and fitness-friendly elements to encourage a more active lifestyle among their employees and improve workplace productivity. - **Corporate Health and Wellness:** Corporate health and wellness industries can focus on providing services that help companies create a work environment that supports physical activity and a healthier lifestyle among employees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Contemporary interactive workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-workspace.md) - [Vibrant Multi-Level Office Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gensler.md) - [Wired Grid Open Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scienceio.md) - [Plant-Centric Dynamic Office Spaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-of-edyn.md) - [Multi-Purpose Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kokuyo.md) - [Studio-Workshop Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banda-agency-kyiv.md) - [Colorful Creative Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podimo-office.md) - [Playful Contemporary Offices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-contemporary-office.md) - [Warm Office Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kinzo-architekten.md)
