Emphasising Physical Fitness Among the Judiciary’s wellness initiatives during the last year has been an emphasis on physical fitness. In his connection the small gym at the Hall of Justice in Port of Spain, was re-equipped and re-opened under the direction of a Gym Management Committee. The Judiciary also procured the services of a fitness Consultant to provide professional Physical Fitness services to the organisation. These services which are available to all staff include personal physical fitness assessments, the design of personal training programmess and nutritional consultations as well as guidance for persons using the Judiciary’s gym facilities. Aerobic classes have also been initiated by the consultant and other off-site activities such as hikes and biking are planned. In addition to looking at the installation of gym equipment at existing Court locations where it can be accommodated, the Committee has also begun drawing on the services from external gyms to be made available to staff throughout the country at negotiated rates. Arrangements have been made with gym establishments in Port of Spain, Arima, San Fernando, and Chaguanas. The Committee is also planning the Judiciary’s first ever Biggest Loser Competition to start in early 2014.
