BWI provides two indoor walking paths, an onsite gym and notably healthy food/beverage options. In fact, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine named BWI the Healthiest U.S. Airport in 2014. Although the award focused on benefits for passengers, Smith notes that the various offerings also create a healthier, happier workplace for employees.
Multiple Workout Options
The airport’s two indoor walking trails are designated as American Heart Association Walking Paths. Each single-kilometer loop takes most users about 20 minutes to complete. One route is located on the upper level of the terminal’s public side; the other is on secure side of concourses A and B. Signs on the walls mark the paths, and maps are available at the airport
information desk.
“It’s not unusual to see four or five Southwest Airlines employees walking up and down the concourse in a brisk way, getting in a walk,” Smith reports.
Building on the popularity of its walking paths, BWI added an in-airport workout facility last February. ROAM Fitness offers passengers a new way to maintain their fitness routine while traveling and provides a popular employee perk. The 1,175-square-foot gym at BWI is the company’s first location and has been a long time in the making. Ty Manegold, co-founder and president of ROAM, explains that the team formed four years ago with a vision to bring its new fitness option to airports around the world.
