NOTICE FROM THE BENEFITS OFFICE

As part of the company’s benefits package, employees of Adler Industries have been entitled to membership discounts at fitness centers in town.

Until last year, we had a deal with Train First and Top Shape.

Starting this year, we signed a contract with the Nice-n-Fit chain of fitness centers.

The main branch of Nice-n-Fit is conveniently located in Blake Tower next door with four more locations throughout town.

If you become a member of Nice-n-Fit, you will have access to any of its facilities.

The company will cover the registration fee and subsidize 80% of a monthly membership.

Everyone is eligible—all you have to do is submit an application—they are available in the Benefits office.
