At Amilia, we believe that physical activity is key to living a healthy, happy life. Being active not only helps reduce stress and improve focus, but it also creates opportunities for connection and builds a sense of community among our team. From team runs to on-site fitness classes, we’re committed to making movement a natural and enjoyable part of the workday.
So, what sets Amilia apart? Dive in to discover how we turn wellness into a way of life, making it easier—and more fun—for everyone to stay active, together.
A key part of Amilia’s approach to wellness is the flexibility it provides employees, allowing them to prioritize their health in a way that suits them best. One standout benefit is a yearly $750 credit that can be used for gym memberships, home fitness equipment, sports gear, or even wellness apps. Karina, account executive at Amilia, shares that the credit allowed her to create a home workout space that fits into her lifestyle, giving her the freedom to exercise when it works best for her.

Fitness expenses can add up quickly, creating a barrier for those looking to maintain an active lifestyle. Amilia’s support helps alleviate these costs, making it easier for employees to stay active. Ryan, our Internal Enablement Specialist, found the benefit helpful for maintaining his routine.
“I used most of my wellness credit to purchase a yearly gym membership at my local YMCA,” he explains. “The credit helped me be more consistent because it took away the pressure of feeling like I was ‘losing money’ by skipping a workout.”Ryan, Internal Enablement Specialist at Amilia
Beyond flexible benefits, Amilia makes fitness accessible through on-site classes, including free Bootcamp and Pilates sessions. Held in a fitness studio right in the Nordelec building where Amilia’s office is located, these classes are scheduled at times that align with the workday, making it easy for employees to join before or during work hours. The convenience of having these classes just steps away from the office encourages regular participation, helping employees make wellness a consistent part of their weekly routines. For Noémie, Software Developer, these classes have been transformative. The convenience and accessibility of these classes have turned fitness into a positive and regular part of her life.
“I’ve never been very sporty, and I’ve always disliked exercising just for the sake of it,” she admits. “But with the yoga and Pilates classes, I’m learning to enjoy it more and more! By the end of a session, I feel proud of myself and energized to start the day.”Noémie, Software Developer at Amilia
What makes these classes special is not just the ease of access, but also the sense of community they foster—an essential part of Amilia’s value of collaboration. Ali, a Customer Success Manager, appreciates the group dynamic. This diverse mix of participants creates a welcoming environment where everyone can challenge themselves together, embodying the spirit of working as one team.
“I enjoy the different exercises that Joan, our Coach, prepares every week. It’s not repetitive whatsoever. I also enjoy the fact that you get to participate with Amilians from different teams, whether it’s Software Developers or our CEO at times,” he shares.Ali, Customer Success Manager at Amilia
Amilia’s commitment to wellness extends beyond the walls of our office. In 2024, the team participated in the YMCA Challenge, a company-wide effort to promote physical activity while supporting a meaningful cause. A group of 18 Amilia employees united their efforts to collectively cover more than 150 kilometers, all in support of the YMCA Foundation of Quebec’s fight against social inequality. The challenge brought together team members from different departments, encouraging them to stay active by running together. It wasn’t just about meeting fitness goals—it was about fostering a sense of community and friendly competition.
Throughout the challenge, employees supported each other’s progress, sharing updates and cheering each other on. It became a unifying experience, where colleagues worked together toward shared goals and celebrated their collective achievements. The YMCA Challenge was a perfect blend of wellness and camaraderie, reinforcing Amilia’s belief that when we move together, we grow stronger as a team.
