How Often Do BuzzFeed Employees Go To The Gym?

BuzzFeed employees get a discount on gym memberships. BuzzFeed has access to card swipes at the gym — and can see how much everyone is working out. So the BuzzFeed Data Science team decided to check out the fitness level of our colleagues who joined in March. (It isn't pretty.)

Here are some stats:

62 BuzzFeed employees have the discounted gym membership. That's just about 25% of all employees based in New York.

Only 58 of these people have gone to the gym since March.

On average, these gym-goers visit the gym 1.2 times a week.

53% of these gym-goers visit the gym less than once a week.

26% of these gym-goers visit the gym between once and twice a week.

21% of these gym-goers visit the gym more than twice a week.

Employees on the Ad Operations team go the most: 1.4 visits per week.

Employees on the Finance team go the least: 0.9 visits per week.

Here are some interesting trends:

BuzzFeed employees' motivation quickly dies after Monday.

Post-Mondays? More like post day one.

Testimonies from those who go to the gym often and those who don't go at all.

Raymond S. goes 4.3 times a week!

Melissa C. goes 1.7 times a week!

Jen J. goes 0.7 times a week!

Dorsey S. goes 0.06 times a week!

In 6 months, we'll check these stats again to see if this post drove our colleagues to up their game. But at this rate, it's doubtful.
