ST. LOUIS PARK, MN<\/strong> – PreferredOne is breaking the mold when it comes to health plan fitness benefits by partnering with Wellbeats to bring on-demand, virtual fitness to employer groups. PreferredOne will offer Wellbeats to fully-insured groups upon renewal beginning in July. Self-insured groups will also have the option to add Wellbeats to their plan design.<\/p>\n \u201cWellbeats is a fitness alternative to gym and health club discounts, which don\u2019t always fit with employee schedules or budgets,\u201d said Dan Stewart, vice president of sales at PreferredOne. \u201cIt\u2019s an option that anybody can use, anytime, anyplace. That flexibility appeals to our clients and it also appealed to PreferredOne\u2014so much so that we now offer Wellbeats to our own employees.\u201d<\/p>\n St. Louis Park-based Wellbeats delivers more than 400 on-demand fitness classes. Available online or through an Android or iOS app, the classes cover a range of fitness styles and interests \u2013 from a new running\/walking class taught by Olympian Carrie Tollefson to exercises people can do at their desks to full-speed, calorie-burning cardio strength, and endurance workouts. The app also offers relaxation, recovery and nutrition-focused content.<\/p>\n \u201cWellbeats is fitness that fits people at all ages and stages of life,\u201d said Jason Von Bank, president and CEO of Wellbeats. \u201cVirtual fitness allows employers to provide a personalized experience for an entire workforce and it eliminates many of the barriers that exist with gym memberships. Plus, the app can be used by spouses and covered dependents, which contributes to engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Von Bank, Wellbeats integrates easily into a company\u2019s wellness or benefits portal, making it simple to track participation in workplace well-being programs and align rewards with completion of goals. While keeping employees engaged in fitness programs is a common challenge for employers, Von Bank said Wellbeats users log an average of 212 activity minutes each month individually and 2.5 million as a whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" ST.
