>My supervisor strongly encourages working from home during crunch periods in particular because he has found that most employees are more productive if we take several exercise breaks throughout the day, and our office is not a great environment for that compared to our homes (for most of us).

This x 100 ! We even have a gym in our office, and I was a member but hardly ever went, it was just too inconvenient and had no spontaneity. But WFH you can run off whenever you get the chance and sit smelly at your desk if you want afterwards, or cleanup and get a change of clothes, then return to your work.
