Beer bellies and oversize bodies are a complete no-no for them. After perfecting their boardroom strategies, they are now all set to better their abs and sweat it out in the gyms.
The high flying corporate have dealt with the pressure and stress for too long and now they seem to have found a solution in gymming.
The benefits of hitting a gym are no longer alien to them and they are taking time out of their erratic work schedules for it. With this, the gyms in the city are witnessing a huge increase in the number of corporate honchos preferring to workout for a fitter body.
And Endurance Fitness Club, has become an integral part of many of these big shots in the city.

"I've been going to Endurance from the last two years and it has helped me a lot. Work in corporate world at times is sedentary and after sitting at the desk for more than 12 hours, one needs to unwind. I go for workouts at least five days to keep my weight in check," says Hemant Rishi, senior manager in a corporate firm.
The corporates of today are seeking a satisfying reply on issues related to their health and fitness. So, they need-highly qualified and expert trainers and dieticians is a must. Keeping this in mind, many corporate houses have started going in for bulk memberships, to ensure that their employees workout regularly under the watchful eyes of professional trainers.
All companies may not be giving priority to fitness. However, there are many companies who have realised the importance of a healthy employee and are taking keen interest in it.
"Those who are serious about their employees' health involves us in the process, right from the planning phase to the execution and management of their gyms. As only a professional can take care of trivial health issues properly. Around 50 per cent of our clients are corporates," says Nikhil Agarwal, director, operations, Endurance Fitness Club. Fifty per cent of their clients are corporates from sectors like IT, banking, retail and BPO.
It's not just the zest to be fit that's bringing these honchos to health clubs, but the fact that they get to do lot more is driving them. And at Endurance Fitness Club they have interesting group classes like spinning and dancing, which gives these corporate bigwigs a chance to interact with their co-workers, who work in the same office but don't get to interact owing to tight schedules or other constraints.
So it's time you shed those formals and slip into your track suits and head straight to the gym for a fitter and stronger you.
