As an HR Manager, you don't have to build a top-down perks program. You decide how much you want to invest in your employees, and then you give your employees the control to build a custom perk package for themselves.

I created a fitness club with five friends. We have weekly check-ins and a reward system - and group penalties if one of us slacks off.

I have my own gym. When you do jokes and they sell, you get a gym.

To keep it simple you run your gym like you run your house. Keep it clean and in good running order. No jerks allowed, members pay on time and if they give you any crap, throw them out. There's peace where there's order.

I'm opening gyms around the world to encourage people to get in shape and feel good about themselves; bringing art through dance to gyms to make my gyms different from other people's.

Everyone talks about building a relationship with your customer. I think you build one with your employees first.

I've still got a small fitness and conditioning business where I travel round the world doing stuff for individuals and corporations, mainly fitness training.

We have a company, Geometric Software, which is into engineering services software. We have a company called Nature's Basket, which is into gourmet retailing. Both are specialized companies.

You can't base an industry solely on one person. That's a very vulnerable business strategy.

I could open up a little gym, and I would be blissfully happy.
