Better Brains and Bodies

Creating great games and building innovative software makes a lot of demands on us every day. It’s all too easy to fall into unhealthy routines and bad habits – especially when a deadline is looming.

BreakAway and our fitness club partner, Brick Bodies, have teamed to create the B3: Better Brains and Bodies program, aimed at encouraging employees to adopt healthy behavior and improve their personal and professional health and well being.

The B3 committee sponsors initiatives to help employees take control of their health, make healthy lifestyle choices, seek appropriate medical care when necessary and acquire knowledge regarding health, fitness and wellness.

In addition to being paragons of strength and fitness themselves – and giving us all the hard sell on making good use of our free gym membership – the B3 committee organizes a number of health-oriented events:

• An annual Wellness Fair, complete with massages, physical therapy, personal trainers, and a variety of vendors offering products and services to help you get fit, stay healthy, and have fun.
• A weekly yoga class held at the office before work
• Weekly nature hikes during lunch hour at nearby Oregon Ridge State Park
• Regularly planned activities such as kayaking trips on the Gunpowder River, tennis, biking, and even extreme paintball battles!
