SPOTLIGHT ON WELLNESS JULY 2023

Millions of employees spend most of their time in the workplace, so the impact that the workplace has on their wellness is increasing every year! GPV understands this and values their employees' wellness, so they are determined to offer the resources needed to stay healthy and well. Every month GPV Wellness features an employee to find out how they get moving and stay healthy.

For the month of July meet Venus Harrison and get an insight on how she gets moving and stays healthy.

What do you do to stay active? 
I find that walking, riding bikes, performing chores around the house, and even dancing while I cook is the most enjoyable way for me to get exercise and stay active.

What is your favorite physical activity or activities?
Dancing and badminton are two activities that I enjoy doing the most.

Tell us about a recent wellness success you had?
I've recently made it a priority to get back into being fit, and one of the ways that I do this is by spending thirty minutes at the GPV Gym every day after work.

What have been some barriers to staying active?
I have to say that a lack of time and motivation are my greatest barriers in this area. I like that the GPV Gym is an option for exercise after work.

What advice do you have for someone trying to improve their overall wellness?
Exercise can be your best medicine. I believe that anybody can benefit from it, even if you're just starting out. 

Is there anything on your bucket list?
Travel to New York, maybe go to another country! Also, I want to stay healthy to watch my son grow up and see him at his best!
