JAKARTA - A unique innovation is present for office workers who want to stay fit without sacrificing their work time. A well-known fitness club, David Lloyd Clubs, launched a collection of anti-water clothing that allows users to easily switch from desk to swimming pool and back without having to bother.

Reported by VOI from the New York Post page on Saturday, January 11, 2025, fitness club David Lloyd Clubs designed this outfit after hearing input from its members who had difficulty sharing sports time in the middle of a busy daily schedule.

In his upload, a worker looks elegant. Easily, he moves to swim in the pool during lunch break. After swimming, he returned to work in front of the laptop without having to change clothes.

This clothing collection named Swim Suit is made of a specially waterproof hydrophobic cloth. Each outfit takes more than three weeks to make. Designed specifically for busy hybrid workers, these clothes allow them to move from desk to pool and return to work.

He believes it is easier to add worker fitness to the work routine. Based on the request, this collection may soon be available to the public.

"The more members we work from the work area at the club, then take turns using swimming pools, gyms, group classes, or middle fields throughout the day. This creates a much better balance between work and life," said David Lloyd Clubs.

"Adding a fitness moment on the sidelines of a working day can have a big impact on the welfare of life. However, inserting exercise time is often difficult. With this outfit, you no longer need to bother bathing and changing clothes. You can go straight back to the desk in just seconds," he continued.

A survey of 2,000 office workers revealed that they spend an average of 4 hours 35 minutes per week during meetings. In fact, 80 percent of workers attend consecutive meetings for up to five hours, which take a lot of their productive time.

As many as 81 percent of respondents admitted that they tried to avoid this kind of meeting, but often couldn't avoid it. In addition, average workers spend 3 hours and 15 minutes working outside of their official working hours.

As a result, nearly half of respondents (47 percent) had to miss fitness because of their busy work schedule. Of those who continue to exercise, only 18 percent did it during lunch breaks. While most people choose sports time after working hours.

Interestingly, 40 percent of respondents feel guilty if they exercise during working hours, although two-thirds of them admit that they want to do fitness activities more often if work is not in the way.

The survey also found that 70 percent of respondents hoped the workplace could encourage employees to take breaks for fitness priority during working hours.

The most popular types of sports among office workers are running (20 percent), swimming (12 percent), and yoga (9 percent).

"The stress of work and family responsibilities often feels heavy, making it difficult to set aside time to take care of yourself. Instead of starting the new year with unrealistic targets, it is better to form healthy habits that are integrated into our lifestyle, thereby improving prosperity in the long term," said David Lloyd Clubs.

"Fightness doesn't necessarily mean spending a long time in a gym or swimming pool. Research shows that short activity for 10 minutes throughout the day is very effective for our health and productivity." he continued.
