Provide occupants access to an outdoor fitness area
Rationale: Outdoor fitness areas located within walking distance offer increased opportunities for social interaction and physical activity, contributing to diminished risk of cardiovascular disease as well as improved mood and lower levels of anxiety.
For the most accurate strategy and documentation requirements, please refer to the digital scorecard made available on the Fitwel Platform.
Requirements
