One of the question’s people always ask me is how I manage to work for ESC and not weigh 500 pounds since I’m constantly surrounded by delicious chocolate. Well besides not keeping chocolate too close to my desk, one of the benefits of working at ESC is that we have our own onsite gym.

All employees can work-out ON THE CLOCK and are encouraged to maintain an active lifestyle. To help keep employee’s motivated, ESC currently has a fitness program going called Fit for the Holiday’s. The program started after Labor Day and goes through the New Year. Employee’s have been split into two teams (mine is Cocoa Kapow) and have set a goal or goal’s they want to achieve by their final assessment in January.

When I was on my way home the other day after a grueling work-out I realized that not only is this program keeping us healthy, it’s also helping to keep the planet healthy. Instead of us all driving to the gym and wasting gas, we’re all conserving energy by exercising at work. The only challenge with that is not nibbling on some chocolate during our work-outs.

Oh, and all I have to say to my rival team is Cocoa Kapow!
