Rolfing has an extensive history of innovation in health care, including co-founding Definity Health, RedBrick Health, and most recently, Bright Health, companies that revolutionized consumer-directed health care and workplace wellbeing.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jason Von Bank, president and CEO of Wellbeats, Rolfing will contribute valuable guidance as an expert in workplace well-being, consumer-centric health care technology adoption, and startup growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVirtual fitness has seen rapid adoption and we feel the industry is at a pivotal point in its growth,\u201d said Von Bank. \u201cKyle\u2019s experience gives him an intimate understanding of all phases of innovation for consumer-driven health care and workplace well-being and will help Wellbeats capitalize on our business momentum as we expand our fitness brand to workplaces across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wellbeats is a content and software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that develops and hosts on-demand, virtual fitness content for corporate and individual users. The company currently offers more than 500 classes and 29 channels in categories like cycling, running, yoga, high-intensity interval training, stretching, and prenatal fitness. Wellbeats content also includes office breaks employees can complete at their workspaces, mindfulness, and content to prepare young athletes for competitive sports.<\/p>\n<p>Wellbeats\u2019 innovation in fitness aligns perfectly with Rolfing\u2019s history as an entrepreneur. When Rolfing co-founded Definity Health in 1999, he created a unique new space in health benefits, establishing the company as a premier brand in consumer-driven health care before selling the company to UnitedHealthcare.<\/p>\n<p>In 2006, Rolfing co-founded RedBrick Health, which changed the face of employer-financed health care by applying technologies that promoted broad-based consumer health engagement to improve employee health behaviors and lower costs.<\/p>\n<p>Rolfing has continued this legacy of success as the co-founder and former president of Bright Health, a consumer-focused insurance, and technology company. Since its launch three years ago, Bright Health has raised more than $1 billion dollars in capital and gained \u201cunicorn\u201d status in a competitive category.<\/p>\n<p>Rolfing earned a Masters in Business Administration from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota and is an Aspen Institute of Health Innovators Fellow. He is a frequent speaker at national health care industry conferences and academic institutions and serves as a board member and advisor to several health care startups.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited to join the Wellbeats Board of Directors and to be part of the innovative work they are doing to create fitness that fits people at all ages and stages of life,\u201d said Rolfing. \u201cIn order to create meaningful change, you have to be driven by a passion to make life better for people, and that\u2019s exactly what I see in the team at Wellbeats. Their on-demand, virtual fitness solution is already improving workplace fitness for employers and I look forward to being part of their future success.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>MINNEAPOLIS, MN<\/strong> &#8211; Wellbeats has announced that Minnesota entrepreneur, Kyle Rolfing, will join the company\u2019s Board of Directors effective immediately.
