At Waurn Ponds Estate we understand how looking after the wellness of your team can contribute to success of your business.
We’ve partnered with some great companies who can help your staff increase their wellness both at work and in their personal lives.
Corporate Fitness Services

With over 30 years of experience in designing and running successful programs, Lex has found that weaving short (10mins – 60mins) wellness and activity based sessions throughout the entire agenda activates and provides a different learning environment for the participants.
This helps people maintain focus and concentration on the content and purpose of the session and engages people a different yet supportive way so they can be ‘learning ready’.

Motivational Speakers
If you are looking to drive change within your team or if your employees are in need of a boost of motivation, you should consider adding a motivational speaker to your retreat agenda.
