Exercising During Work Day
Super stupid question but for those that dip out mid day to lift— how did you get the OK initially?

After a certain point at a lot of jobs, no one cares what you do as long as you get your work done.
I think it depends on your team or shop. My last team liked work-life balance, so running to grab a quick workout during the lunch to be back within an hour was not an issue. My current shop is a little different. It's very much a grinder mentality so slipping out to grab a workout is not feasible, dipping out earlier is possible though. We're on the west coast and do some business out east, so the time difference can put pressure to finish things out by early afternoon.
I've been gym-at-lunch guy for 3 years now.. I just started doing it and it took everyone a month to get used to it. I'm always the last one to leave at night so coworkers never really had an issue
What's your logistics look like? Do you walk or drive to the gym? How long are you there? Do you shower and put your work clothes back on? Assume you bring lunch and eat at desk?
A lot of people go during lunch, but I guess it definitely depends on the culture of the firm. Eventually you get comfortable enough and start feeling out your group with their habits.
Dependent on team culture but if your team is a bunch of fatasses they WILL take issue with it because every day you are reminding them of their own lack of willpower
no one will notice. sometimes I dip out at 3pm to lift / sauna / steam for an hour and a half
I lift in the morning and evening
Bump
Usually in the evenings, once the senior folk head out of the office
The MDs in my group both go workout during lunch so I didn't really have to ask.
10/10:30am is the absolute best time.
