For many years, the locker room was seen as something functional; it was a place to change clothes, take a shower, or drop off gear. The modern locker room, however, is something more. It’s a place to relax and bond, a place that builds team spirit and aids recruitment. You may have already decided on wooden locker installation to up your locker room’s aesthetic, or decorated in a specific style, giving special attention to Feng Shui. But have you considered games? Providing games may give your locker room that last bit of personality it needs.

From darts, ping-pong and shuffleboard, to pool and poker, games can give a locker room an edge. Whether you’re looking for team building or recruitment, or just want to provide a light, pregame workout, these games might be the kind of amenity that sets your locker apart from the crowd. Why are they so beneficial?

  • Healthy competition promotes comradery. You can learn things about a person over a game of ping-pong that might take you months to learn otherwise! If you’re looking to create an atmosphere that fosters friendship, games may be the way to go.
  • Games can boost brainpower. Losing yourself in a game can actually improve your focus and make you more alert. If you’re at the gym on your lunch break, a quick game of darts or ping-pong can refresh you and send you back to the office in a more productive frame of mind.
  • Whether pre- or post-workout, games can help you unwind. Playing games like foosball, ping pong, or even corn hole can be great for relieving stress, because though you’re thinking quickly, your able to focus on one, simple task.
  • A little pre-workout warmup. Games like ping pong, air hockey and even foosball can really get your heartrate up, your metabolism going and your muscles nice and loose before you move on to heavier, more strenuous exercises.
