Harley-Davidson's Plant Gym

Here is a article in the Wall Street Journal about HD's gym and how they are using it to keep workers fit to work.

Not sure if it is paywalled.

That's a nice benefit to have. Recent studies have shown that companies which provide employees services like a gym or day care for their children and other perks actually have a higher rate of productivity and lower employee turnover rates than those that don't provide those services.  Makes sense to me.

Wonder if the dumbells required any warranty work or if the treadmills were on recall... would be a little poetic justice!
