Local Motion - Helping you to save money and get fit on your way to work in South Durham

Local Motion offers a range of free services for businesses to help build healthier and happier workforces. Businesses that encourage their employees to get active can see a reduction in sickness, an increase in productivity and cost savings. The list of services below can be tailored to meet your needs.

Travel Planning

A workplace travel plan encourages employees to travel to work using sustainable transport, such as cycling, walking or car sharing. Travel plans can help a business meet corporate social responsibility aims – including reduced congestion, pollution and noise level.

Driver Training Courses

Safe and Fuel Efficient Driving (SAFED) courses are available for companies whose workers drive for work.

Business benefits include saving on fuel bills, reduced company driving risk, more miles per gallon of fuel and less wear and tear on vehicles.

The Local Motion Driving Simulator can also demonstrate how you can drive safer and with better fuel efficiency resulting in savings in company fuel costs.

Back On Your Bike

For those who need a bit of help or encouragement to get back on their bike, we can offer:

· Cycle training carried out by a professional trainer to build confidence

· Bike maintenance from ‘Doctor Bike’, a professional mechanic who will tend to broken bikes and fix tyres, brakes and gears

· Cycle security and marking from Operation Spoke

· The Wattbike Challenge encourages colleagues to compete against each other on an electric cycle. Within seconds you can be accurately measuring your power output, your pedalling technique and heart rate.

· On the Smoothie Bike, colleagues can create their own refreshing drink on a specially made bike. It’s a fun way to get people thinking about other ways to travel.

Lunchtime Walks

Walking to work is not always possible for everyone so lunchtime walks are a great chance to add a little bit of exercise to the day. Team Local Motion can lead walks or train up walk leaders in your business.

Local Transport Information Sessions

We run information sessions on local walking and cycling routes and public transport options to help employees who may be thinking about changing the way they travel.

‘Fit For Life’ Health Checks

A 30 minute check up with a health professional looking at blood pressure levels, cholesterol levels and general lifestyle.
