Problem

A remote work environment doesn’t necessarily offer as many opportunities to get up and move as a traditional office setting. continued wanted to provide a good option for team members to fit a workout into their day. “I don’t want to go to the gym, what can I do at my home?” was a typical excuse for not engaging in existing fitness options.

“We’re all busy people,” says Amy Martin, health and wellness manager at continued. “Family, obligations, work… fitting in a trip to the gym doesn’t work for everyone.”

To help individuals take control of their health, continued was searching for a virtual fitness solution that would eliminate barriers to exercise and appeal to a diverse employee base with different fitness levels, class style interests and varying workout goals.

Fitness program requirements included:

• Class variety, no equipment needed
• Quality programming for all fitness levels
• Easy to administer and use
• Affordability
• Ability to track use and success
