Chillingly Good Chili: SportsArt In October

By Company
Fall is in the air and for a group of sports-minded employees, that means football season is in full swing! True die-hard fans are busy bantering back and forth about their Fantasy Football stats, but this year SportsArt America employees are gearing up for their own competition: Which department can put on the best Blue Friday event? So far the Administration team treated the office to Seahawks-colored Italian Sodas one Friday and Logistics fed everyone breakfast and lunch! We can hardly wait to see what the other departments have up their sleeves! In the meantime, this October marked a brand new SportsArt America tradition: the annual Chili Cook-Off! Five employees submitted their very best bowls of chili while everyone else brought side dishes and snacks for everyone else. In the end, Ryan came out on top and took home a $25 Visa gift card. He also ended up the winner of our Halloween cubicle decoration contest! Yup, he was so good that it was kind of spooky! At the end of lunch, however, it was clear that everybody won. Check out our photos from the event below!

SportsArt Partnership With Xtreme CSC Gyms

By Featured Facilities, Press Release
SportsArt is pleased to announce a partnership with Xtreme CSC, a chain of fitness facilities based in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Xtreme CSC gyms combine strength and conditioning with functional training, as well as offer complete nutritional support for their members. Their newest gym located in Cashel, Ireland, opened fully-equipped with over 30 pieces of SportsArt equipment. “We are delighted and very proud to announce this long-term partnership with such a new and exciting brand,” says Roger Eldergill, UK Country Manager. “Their ethos and ambitious brand development match that of SportsArt  - our exciting range of innovative new Cardio, fixed resistance, and free weights will allow Xtreme CSC  to appeal to the widest continuum of a user. SportsArt has been chosen over the fierce competition to support the rollout of over 100 Xtreme CSC clubs. Early on in negotiations, it was made clear that one of our strengths is our focus on people. Despite being a global company, SportsArt brings a family feeling to the table – a trait instilled in all employees by Paul Kuo, Chairman and Founder of SportsArt – and that makes a real difference. “SportsArt’s mission of embracing your best self really resonated with our own,” says Connor Crotchett, Owner of Xtreme CSC, “They continue to impress us with the strength of their equipment and their quality of service. We are excited to continue working and developing this partnership with SportsArt."

meeting recess

Workplace Recess: A Much-Needed Break

By Company
SportsArt America has recently moved from our original building in Woodinville to a brand new facility in Mukilteo, and with this big change came a small adjustment period and a handful of expected challenges. One of these challenges was determining where to hold our monthly staff meeting while the room that would normally hold it was still finishing up construction. After much deliberation, our HR manager Tiffiny decided to cancel the meeting -- but not the gathering itself! Instead, arrangements were made to host a special hour of good ol' fashioned recess for the employees of SportsArt America. Carnival-esque games and dollar-store toys were arranged behind the building and a delicious spread of Jimmy John's sandwiches was provided, encouraging everyone to venture out of the office and into the warm Washington summer sun. We may not have been as productive as we might have been during the meeting, but it was certainly a much-appreciated break. Shout-outs to HR and everyone else who helped to make it possible!
