What Makes ABC Fitness a Most Loved Workplace

These recognitions are built on employee sentiment, not self-nomination. Best Practice Institute certifies companies through its Love of Workplace Index®, and Newsweek’s lists draw on large-scale surveys of U.S. employees.

Behind the results are the core values that guide how we work: Best Life, One Team, and Growth Mindset. One Team, for example, puts collaboration, empathy, and respect first. 

As Hanna Phan, vice president of culture, told Newsweek, our people value “a feeling of belonging, loyalty, and a commitment to taking action.”
