Corporate fitness programs are a growing trend in the workplace. Fiscally savvy businesses are taking advantage of this money saving opportunity to lower health care costs by promoting physical fitness among their staff. Additional benefits that come with a physically fit staff include less stress and increased productivity. According to an article in The New York Times, more than a quarter of large companies offer things like fitness coaching and discounts on health club memberships (July 22, 2007).
According to Casandra Reed, an arobics instructor at City Center Square, corporate fitness classes are a great way for employees to get involved in a regular workout routine while getting to know co-workers or other people in the building. \"Overall, exercise decreases your stress level and makes you feel good about yourself. When you feel good, you project that to everyone you talk to.\"

Tenants range from the Kansas City Convention & Visitors Association to the Kansas City Business Journal. Office space is available and can be customized to accommodate tenants\' needs. Prime location, parking availability and facility upgrades make City Center Square an optimal choice for businesses that want to be part of the new entertainment district.
