Is this sort of thing common? I wish my current employer did something like this. While I'm still skimming some of the documents - Basecamp sounds like a cool place to work.
- felixrieseberg 9y agoAt least on the West Coast it seems pretty common - considering that companies here also pay for your health insurance, it seems like an overall decent idea.

- fnazeeri 9y agoPretty common.
- knodi123 9y agoI think it is often subsidized by your health insurance. But even if it isn't, it just makes sense - healthy employees need fewer sick days, and have better mental health and energy levels.
- kzisme 9y agoThanks for the reply - I was just curious because currently (first job post graduation) nothing like that is offered where I work and I would take advantage of it if I got the chance.
- kornakiewicz 9y agoIn Poland, almost all companies offer "sport card", which can be used at gyms, pools and other facilities with no limits (or very little). I could basically spend all my free time at gym or whatever. Employee has to participate in small fraction of subscription fee (say, 10$). https://www.benefitsystems.pl/en/for-you/multisport/ https://www.benefitsystems.pl/en/for-you/multisport/
- kzisme 9y agoThat sounds like a nice plan as well! I have never heard of anything like this in the US.
- tedmiston 9y agoIn the midwest, a paid gym membership has been less common but has become more popular in the past couple years.
