I leave ~2 hours at the start of my day to responses if needed. That saves time I lose by checking email, but a bigger time saver has actually been convincing my coworkers to not email me for little things we could discuss in a call or via phone. We save the email for occasions when remote employees need to be copied or if something is needed "in writing." So far so good. On a good day I'll get less than a dozen emails.

The catch was that you had to go at least 10 times a month for them to pay for that month. If you didn't go at least 10 times, you had to pay. Since the gyms that you could choose from were expensive, that was a good motivation to go 3 times a week.
