ABOUT WALKINGSPREE

Employee Wellness Programs

Walkingspree helps companies control health care costs by getting their employees moving. It is our use of technology and success with employee engagement that sets us apart. Our physical activity wellness program achieves at least 50 percent sign-up and high year-over-year-retention rates – about 70 percent.

The Walkingspree program uses a state-of-the-art computer connected pedometer to track and record steps, and an active social network to keep members motivated and engaged. The program also features interactive tools like a body tracker to set and monitor goals, and a food tracker that makes counting calories easy.

The benefits of walking are astounding. Just 30 minutes of walking a day can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol plus reduce the risk of heart disease. With 75 percent of all health care claims related to preventable chronic disease and lifestyle choices, walking is a proven solution

By applying modern technology to the simple concept of walking, we have turned that concept in a proven wellness program. The results are healthier employees and a positive return on investment for clients.
