I can get there, workout, quick shower and be back to work in about 1hr 15min. I make up the time by getting to work in the morning 15 min. early on those days. I usually snack on several things throughout the day to keep from getting hungry. I know not all employers can accomodate this slight "flextime" but it works out great for me and my company.

My company has a fitness room but they don't do much to encourage people to work out. During the course of a week, it seems like no more than 3 or 4 people use it. I am curious to hear what other companies have done to help encourage people to use fitness rooms at work - even if it's for a light workout. thanks - Paul Bill, you raise some interesting points.
