Chelsea Football Club is helping delegates get a good start to 2012 with its Match Fit Meetings initiative. The club, which boasts 21 flexible event spaces including the 1400m2 Great Hall and 60 syndicate rooms, has created a series of exercises to ensure delegates stay supple during long hours spent in meetings and in seated positions.
An exercise guide will be provided to all meetings and conferences attendees from January 2012 and includes targeted movements for the eyes, mouth, arms, legs and hands. Created to inspire creativity and keep delegates alert the routines, which include the ‘bite the sandwich mouth stretch’ and ‘the smartphone finger’, fit subtly into the day and can be implemented in public.
The club aims to produce a second instalment later in the year, incorporating other body areas such as shoulders, wrists, the back and special breathing techniques.
Simon Hunter, Head of Venue at Chelsea FC, comments: “Match Fit Meetings is an initiative introduced to underline the importance of delegate fitness and productivity in a fun way. We provide a healthy environment for delegates during meetings and conferences, including offering nutritious menus, breakout spaces with natural daylight and the added extra of a stadium tour. Match Fit Meetings is an extension of this and we hope it proves an interesting talking point”.
